This is the autobiography of the maligned, cussed, discussed, much loved Texas weatherman who played a pivotal role in the 1900 Galveston Hurricane. In 1892 Joseph L Cline, the brother of Dr Issac Monroe Cline, joined his sibling in the service of the Weather Bureau in Galveston. Eight years later, he became one of the town's heroes. Working in conjunction with his brother, Cline was responsible for sending out the last message to Washington DC, that explained the gravity of the situation at Galveston. As a result, aid was swift in arriving, and many lives were undoubtedly saved.
