- ... that a hurricane in Louisiana in 1901 destroyed everything in Port Eads, except the lighthouse?

I don't see that the hook fact is confirmed. The article and the source both say that the office building/small cabin used by the weather service "weathered the storm", so it survived as well. Indeed, I don't see anything in Alciatore's report in the source that indicates that sort of widespread destruction in Port Eads, and I can't find mention of the Port Eads lighthouse there.

- I had it sourced by the wrong reference. Should be good now.--12george1 (talk) 16:10, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Template:Ping My bad, thanks for pointing out. I had to assume good faith based on the verification of the same fact mentioned here. Template:Ping It would be nice if you add page numbers for large PDF files. —Vensatry (ping) 16:53, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
