THE GREAT STORM OF 1886:
A DAY OF AGONY AND DEATH AT SABINE PASS, TEXAS
By W. T. Block
Reprinted from Beaumont ENTERPRISE, January 9, 1977.

"After the 1886 storm had subsided, all that remained intact was Gus Higby's store and the residences of Dr. J. J. L. Gilliland and W. F. McClanahan, the town's publisher and printer. On the Front Ridge, Moise Broussard's three story mansion, built in 1877, survived, but the cattleman lost a herd of 1,100 steers."
(note: Moise's daughter Clara married John Joseph Gilliland's son William.)
