The First Time Houston Flooded

 

In April 1837, a lashing flood hit newly-formed Houston. Only a few months later, in early October, a hurricane hit and caused the bayous to rise four feet at Main Street. The very next year, it was incredibly cold. On February 2, 1838, the temperature dropped to 16 degrees and it was 22 degrees on the 16th.
