Today the McFaddin-Ward House Museum in Beaumont will host a free lecture on the 1900 Galveston hurricane at 6:30 p.m. where author and researcher Shelley Kelly shares eyewitness accounts and Jefferson County Judge Jeff Branick explains modern disaster preparedness protocols—seating is limited so early arrival is encouraged.
