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.

Answer:

He wrote the book On the Road

He celebrated freedom and individuality

Explanation:

Jack Kerouac was an American novelist who supported "iconoclasm," a social belief that focuses on the destruction of icons used for political or religious reasons. So, this means that he wasn't a symbol of American conformity but was a voice against it.

He wrote the book entitled "On the Road," which was based on his travel across the United States with his friends. The book portrayed the characters of Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty and their boundless American freedom as they drove with no exact journey. His book clearly celebrated "freedom" and individuality."
