While the undisputed queen of Texas saw its future end, Higgins promised a new world would erupt from beneath his feet. This is the incredible story of how one of the deadliest natural disasters in American history created a power vacuum, and how a wildcat oil strike, larger than anything the world had ever seen, filled it with a roar.Join us...2025-07-2826 minHouston in StoryGalveston: The Queen and the Great Storm (4/4)The sun rose on Sunday, September 9th, to a clear sky and a city that was gone.
