Hurricane

This episode presents a documentary which analyzes Hurricane Carla, which struck the Gulf Coast of Texas in the early fall of 1961. The program traces the earliest beginnings of the storm and tracks it until it builds its full fury and hits Galveston on Sept. 10-11, 1961. The show focuses on Galveston, which sustained the heaviest damage. Preparations before the arrival of the hurricane and the devastation afterwards are shown. Repairs and rebuilding are undertaken and normal activities resume.
