The Galveston storm of 1900 killed 6,000 to 8,000 people. the quake of '06 claimed 700 documented lives, though historians now say 3,000 is a more likely figure.
3,600 buildings on Galveston island were destroyed by the 140 mph winds and 15-foot storm surges.

 
WOOHOO! Did better this round. Missed 1, 6 and 8. I am going to go Google the Jupiter thing though. I simply can't believe such a large planet spins so fast. I thought for sure it would be Mercury.
