About the event

Foundation Conversations: Hurricane History & The 1900 Storm
Meteorological History of The 1900 Hurricane with Space City Weather's Matt Lanza

About this Event

The 1900 Storm remains one of Galveston's defining moments and a touchstone for people's understanding of the island. Space City Weather's Matt Lanza will join in this 125th Anniversary Presentation of The Great Storm, speaking on the meteorological history of the greatest natural disaster in US history and its impacts in Galveston and beyond.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER |Matt Lanza is the managing editor and an AMS Certified Digital Meteorologist for Space City Weather, a Houston area weather blog and The Eyewall, a national focused site that both serve hundreds of thousands of Gulf Coast residents and beyond during hurricanes, floods, freezes, and whatever else gets thrown at us. He is also the chief meteorologist at CenterPoint Energy, where he is building out a state-of-the-art weather monitoring program. For over 20 years, Matt has worked primarily in the energy industry in California and Texas, but also as a broadcast meteorologist in Upstate New York early on. Never afraid to talk about his alma mater's most okayest sports programs, he has a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology from Rutgers University. Matt tries to balance all this as a husband and father of two energetic young boys.

You are welcome to bring your own lunch to enjoy. Lunch will not be provided.

This presentation will also be streamed free of charge for all Galveston Historical Foundation members as part of their #GalvestonHistory+ account. Access will start at 11:15 a.m. on September 3rd.
