1900 - The greatest weather disaster in U.S. records occurred when a hurricane struck Galveston TX. A tide fifteen feet high washed over the island demolishing or carrying away buildings, and drowning more than 6000 persons. The hurricane destroyed more than 3600 houses, and total damage was more than thirty million dollars. Winds to 120 mph, and a twenty foot storm surge accompanied the hurricane. Following the storm, the surf was three hundred feet inland from the former water line. The hurricane claimed another 1200 lives outside of the Galveston area.

About Rociada, New Mexico
Rociada is a settled area in San Miguel County, New Mexico, United States, located 27 miles northwest of Las Vegas, the county seat. Rociada's name means "sprinkled with dew" in Spanish, reflecting its relatively high-elevation, mild, and moist climate in the summer compared to hot and arid areas of Northern New Mexico.
The Pendaries Gristmill, one mile east of Rociada is perhaps the best preserved gristmill in New Mexico. Built in the 1870s, the building is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire (April to August 2022), one of the largest in New Mexico history, destroyed the forests on all the hillsides around the Rociada valley. Heavy monsoon rains resulted in flooding caused by water runoff from the denuded slopes. The area was evacuated during the fire.
