Episode 40: Raising Galveston and Walling Off the Sea

One of the greatest example of resilience in Texas, indeed United States, history was the building of the seawall and the raising of the city. After the Great Hurricane of 1900, the easiest thing to do would have been to abandon Galveston Island. But that wouldn't be the Texan thing to do. Instead, the people of Galveston appointed three engineers to figure out how to defeat the next big hurricane. The 3-member board suggested the construction of a 3-mile seawall to protect the city against a storm surge. But they went even further. They proposed raising the city as much as 17 feet in some places, houses, buildings an all. So the citizens of Galveston went to work and created the Galveston we know today. Buildings as large as 3000 tons were raised one-half inch at a time! It worked. For over 100 years, the Galveston seawall has been a center of tourism in Texas as well as a barrier against destruction. It passed its first test in 1909 and its first big test in 1915–with flying colors. Tune in to this latest episode of Wise About Texas and get ready for hurricane season!

As it has the last few seasons, the Texas Longhorns recruiting class ranks outside of the Top 10 at the end of July, going into August. Steve Sarkisian has repeatedly told us that he does not worry about recruiting this early, and tells reporters to check back in with him in December. That cool demeanor obviously comes for good reason, because he knows he has no reason to panic. The latest example, Top 150 recruit Josiah Sharma who had been previously committed to Oregon, just flipped to the University of Texas. As always, expect more to come. #HookEm
