|
List of things I know I don’t know:
|
Have hurricanes increased in number or intensity or both?
|
The number of hurricanes since the 1900 disaster and intensity of the storms is unknown to make an assumption.

|
List of things I wonder about
|
Was a factor of the degree of devastation a result of a lack of citizens being prepared?
|
There were no warning systems in place like we have now, The National Weather Service.
|
The sea wall was built significantly higher after the disaster as a measure to prevent another disaster.
