Nearly all of the damage in the United States occurred in Texas, with much of the damage in Galveston.
However, many communities outside of Galveston also suffered serious damage, with several cities reporting a near or complete loss of all buildings or homes, including Alta Loma, Alvin, Angleton, Brazoria, Brookshire, Chenango, El Campo, Pearland, and Richmond.
Throughout Texas – in areas other than Galveston – at least $3 million in damage occurred to cotton crops, $75,000 to telegraph and telephone poles, and $60,000 to railroads.

At Alvin, 8.05 in (204 mm) of rain fell on September 8, the highest 24-hour total for that city in the month of September.
The city suffered nine fatalities and about $50,000 in damage.
In West Columbia, the storm destroyed the old capitol building of the former Republic of Texas.
Eight deaths occurred in the city.
In Quintana, the city experienced extensive damage during this storm and a flood in 1899, causing portions of the community to be abandoned.
Throughout Brazoria County alone, the hurricane caused nearly $200,000 in damage and 47 deaths.
Houston also experienced significant damage.
The hurricane wrought damage to many buildings, including a Masonic temple, a railroad powerhouse, an opera house, a courthouse, and many businesses, churches, homes, hotels, and school buildings.
Streets were littered with branches from shade trees and downed electrical wires, leaving several roads completely impassable to cars.
The city of Houston suffered about $250,000 in damage and two deaths, one of which occurred when a man was struck by falling timber.

A train heading for Galveston left Houston on the morning of September 8 at 9:45 a.m. CST (15:45 UTC).
It found the tracks washed out, and passengers were forced to transfer to a relief train on parallel tracks to complete their journey.
Even then, debris on the track slowed the train's progress to a crawl.
The 95 travelers on the train from Beaumont found themselves at the Bolivar Peninsula waiting for the ferry that would carry them to the island.
When it arrived, the high seas forced the ferry captain to give up on his attempt to dock.
The train crew attempted to return the way they had come, but rising water blocked the train's path.
Ten refugees from the Beaumont train sought shelter at the Point Bolivar lighthouse with 190 residents of Port Bolivar who were already there.
The 85 who stayed with the train died when the storm surge overran the tops of the cars, while every person inside the lighthouse survived.
