E22 The Great Storm of 1900

September 8, 1900 the day of the Great Storm.  The worst natural disaster to ever hit the US and our third edition in our six part hurricane season specials. This episode comes with a trigger warning.  This storm was a mass casualty event and some of the events that took place afterwards were equally horrific. 

I mention in the podcast about the Hymn "Queen of the Waves" it can be heard during the telling about the lost orphanage.
