only Cat-4
In Ida, 100 people died ... not 8000.
My point is that the 1900 Storm would not would not be seen as the Legendary Epic Disaster that it has become, had it hit a modern city with modern weather forecasting.
The OP was implying that the 1900 Storm disproves climate change theories, because a storm 123 years ago was so very much worse (8000 deaths!) than modern storms.
It really wasn't.

because my hometown was effectively destroyed, my insurance company filed bankruptcy (causing me to pay out of pocket to make my home even livable again). my grandmother's house was completely destroyed leaving her homeless.
all by an "only Cat-4"
a Cat 4 is a big bad catastrophic storm.
it would frick up Galveston today, tomorrow, or in 1900.
but you need to minimize it somehow to fit your narrative.

Sure
But to dismiss the severity of the storm because it was a cat 4 when the cat ratings only go up to 5 is pretty absurd

No I wasn't. Many alarmists cite Cat 4 storms in recent years as proof of global climate change. There have been many Cat 4 and Cat 5 storms throughout history that could not have been caused by global warming. There were large death tolls from Camille and Katrina even with modern warning systems.
