On September 8, 1900, a Category 4 hurricane ripped through Galveston, Texas, killing an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 people. At the time of the 1900 hurricane, Galveston, nicknamed the Oleander City, was filled with vacationers. Sophisticated weather forecasting technology didn’t exist at the time, but the U.S. Weather Bureau issued warnings telling people to move to higher ground. However, these advisories were ignored by many vacationers and residents alike. A 15-foot storm surge flooded the city, which was then situated at less than 9 feet above sea level, and numerous homes and buildings were destroyed. The hurricane remains the worst weather-related disaster in U.S. history in terms of loss of life.
The United Kingdom allowed Germany to take over part of Czechoslovakia, but it came to Poland's defense when Germany invaded.

A lumber producer in New Brunswick might support it because the railroad will require wood for the tracks. The lumber producer can profit from this because the railroad would need a large supply of lumber. They can also use it to transport the lumber.
