The caption below this incredible photo by Johnny Hanson read:

Waves generated by the outer bands of Hurricane Ike crash into the Galveston Seawall on Friday afternoon, reaching over the memorial to the Great Storm of 1900 that killed as many as 8,000 people on the island. The unnamed hurricane slammed into Galveston on Saturday, Sept. 8, 1900, and remains the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history.

The powerful — and poignant — combination of headline and design reminds us of what only a newspaper can do. (h/t: Obsidian Wings)
