The record — long form
The Storm is the deadliest — the '00 hurricane that killed 6-12k, the surge that covered the island. The warning was the missed — the Cuban forecast that Washington blocked, the Cline who couldn't convince. The orphanage was the 90 — the children who died in the dormitory, the Sisters who tied themselves to the beds.
The city was the queen — the port that was the Wall Street of the Southwest, the '00 that ended the dream. The bodies were the burned — the funeral pyres on the beach, the looters who were shot. The Storm is the change — the seawall that was built after, the grade that was raised.
The file keeps the Storm: the 1900 hurricane, the 6-12k dead, the missed warning, and the seawall.
