Episode Description
After the devastating Galveston Hurricane of 1900, the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history, the city refused to give up. Instead, Galveston raised its island, lifted its buildings, and built a seawall to face the Gulf. In this episode of The T-Chromosome Daily, Tweed Scott reminds us that when life’s storms hit, sometimes the only way forward is to lift your foundation and rise stronger than before.
Show Notes
On September 24, 1900, Galveston was reeling from the deadliest hurricane in American history. Thousands of lives were lost, entire neighborhoods swept away, and the city left in ruins. But Galveston’s response was a testament to resilience: it rebuilt by raising the island itself and constructing the famous seawall.
In this episode, Tweed shares:
- Today’s nugget: “When the wind shifts, hang on — something’s about to change.”
- The incredible story of how Galveston chose to rebuild rather than retreat.
- Why resilience often begins with a simple decision: we’re not done yet.
- A reminder that life’s storms don’t all look the same, but the response can — lift your foundation and rise.
Key Takeaway:
When the bottom drops out, don’t just rebuild the same way. Shore up your seawall, raise your courage, and strengthen your foundation. Storms may knock you down, but resilience can lift you taller than before.
Closing Note:
Thanks for joining me today. If Galveston’s story lifted your spirit, share it with a friend who could use the reminder — and invite them to join us here on The T-Chromosome Daily. I’ll be back tomorrow with another nugget of Texas-flavored grit and wisdom.
This isn't just a podcast, it's a Texas state of mind.
