Excerpt from Bulletin of the Southern California Academy of Sciences, 1902
Professor Simon Sarasola, S. J., President of the Colegio De Belen at Havana, Cuba, assisted by Professor Laurent Gangoiti, S. J., Director of the Belen Astronomical Observatory, has made a life study of the atmospheric phenomena of the Gulf of Mexico, and his reputation as a weather prophet is world-wide.
It is a matter of history that he sent to the Weather Bureau at Washington a communication announcing that, on or about September 8, 1900, a terrific hurricane would sweep along the Atlantic sea-board from the Gulf of Mexico as far north as Charleston, South Carolina. The authorities at Washington paid no attention to this communication further than announcing that in September, strong winds would prevail throughout the eastern portion of the Southern States.
The prophecy of Professor Sarasola, which, in the consideration of the cataclysm which succeeded, and which prophecy approached the domain of the super-natural, was fulfilled by the tornado which swept from the face of the earth, the beautiful City of Galveston. Texas.
