The final two chapters of Isaac\u2019s Storm, <\/em>are about the aftermath of the Hurricane and how the city went about fixing the resulting problems. In the book it says that the first thing anyone that as approaching the city of Galveston, whether from land or from sea, was the smell of death that lingered in the air from all of those whom had died in the Hurricane, as attested to by Captain Simmons and Col. William Sterett. Although anyone approaching the city of Galveston on a train could unfortunately see all of the personal and emotional destruction in the waters that the Hurricane brought so far inland that the train could not get all the way into Galveston making the passengers need a boat to approach the city properly. One thing all the survivors could agree upon was to try to locate any missing persons from their families until they were found alive or as a corpse. Often times the families found their missing family member because they were listed as one of dead in the newspaper. All of these dead as stated by gravity21<\/a> were first \u201cattempted to bury the dead but as the stench of dead started to overpower the city and so many bodies remaining to be buried, they eventually resorted to mass burnings in attempt to quicken the process,\u201d eventually having to resort to burning the excess corpses.<\/p>\n

Isaac had stated he felt a sense of guilt for not having thought the storm would be so severe, even attested some of his anger to Joseph for having the forethought to warn people to evacuate before the Hurricane could hit. Of course afterwards the town built a wall and lifted the town up several feet. All of these contribute to allowing people of present-day to see the reactions to similar storms of the present that had happened in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
