The Galveston hurricane, 6,000 died 9/8/1900

          Well Galveston had a sea wall
          To keep the waters down,
          But the high tide from the ocean
          Spread the water over the town.
  
          CHO:    Wasn't that a mighty storm,
                  Wasn't that a mighty storm, with water,
                  Wasn't that a mighty storm,
                  Blew the people away.
  
          "Wasn't that a Mighty Storm" per E von Schmidt, or Sin Killer Griffin on 
          Library of Congress LP, Negro Religious Songs & Services (Lomax, 1934-42)

Full lyrics of the song as sung by Sin Killer Griffin and his prison farm congregation in thread 84455, along with the story of the Galveston Hurricane. Also a 1900 song by 'Ned Yale,' "The Texas Cyclone."
