Notes: No page given, In Riviera there is still a divided boulevard, lined with palms, leading to the Riviera Beach road.

A1995-015.Box9.0061I Collection: George O. Coalson's Annotated Bibliography of South Texas Historical Resources Location: 9 / I-20-2	Citation could possibly be, Hidalgo County Centennial Corporation, The Centennial Celebration of the Organization of Hidalgo County in Texas (Mission, Texas: Times Publishing Company, 1952). Notes: Page 209, The Spaniards had cause to fear the marksmanship of the Karankawas. In the summer of 1553, three Spanish ships left Veracruz. A hurricane wrecked the vessels on Padre Island. Here three hundred survivors wandered about looking for food. The third day, the starving refugees were lured by Karankawas to open fires and roasting fish. With the Spaniards thus diverted, the Indians from behind sandhills suddenly fired arrows and began a massacre which lasted forty days. The Spaniards retracted southward, down the full length of Padre Island, with the savages pursuing and picking off stragglers. Near Boca Chica, only five of the refugees were still alive; and only one survived to reach Panuco near Tampico.
A1995-015.Box9.0061S Collection: George O. Coalson's Annotated Bibliography of South Texas Historical Resources Location: 9 / I-20-2	Duaine, C. L. (1987). With all arms : a study of a kindred group. Edinburg, Tex. : New Santander Press, c1987. Notes: Pages 77-78, An epic which resulted from a misfortune began with the wreck of a 1553 silver and gold convoy that left Vera Cruz for Spain. As they rounded Cuba, they were hit by a hurricane and driven across the Gulf to Texas coast, only two small ships escaping wreck. Out of the thousand people on the unfortunate ships, only about three hundred reached Padre Island, a few miles south of Corpus Christi, Texas. These unarmed, starving people started southward along the coast and were killed in a leisurely manner by the Indians. The Indians first stripped them of their clothes, leaving men, women, and children nude.

The site of General Sheridan's camp at the north end of Brazos Island was covered by sand during the hurricane of 1867, and its exact location was forgotten until it was revealed during the storm of 1933.

A1995-015.Box93.0065O Collection: George O. Coalson's Annotated Bibliography of South Texas Historical Resources Location: 93 / I-18-2	Kleberg County Texas : a collection of historical sketches and family histories. (1979). [Texas : s.n.], 1979 (Austin, Tex. : Hart Graphics). Notes: Page 798, Between the advent of the two hurricanes came World War I. The Hallmarks were not vitally involved in the war; that is, no one of the family was old enough for the draft. Orlando wanted to volunteer but he needed parental consent, which he would never receive from his Mother. Had he been old enough that would have been different.

The Lower Rio Grande region in Tamaulipas, Mexico. [microform]. 1961. Notes: Pages 237-240, Upstream in the Pecos and Devil's River valleys, however, the hurricane caused some of the most excessive rainfall ever reported in those regions. An isohyetal map of the rainfall resulting from this storm shows that in several places in the Pecos valley, up to thirty-five inches of rain fell. This storm resulted in one of the greatest floods ever experienced in the Rio Grande.

A1995-015.Box96.0069A Collection: George O. Coalson's Annotated Bibliography of South Texas Historical Resources Location: 96 / I-18-2	Gift of the Rio : story of Texas’ tropical borderland. (1975). Mission, Tex. : Border Kingdom Press, 1975. Notes: Page 135, Much more sophisticated techniques and devices are used today to track, measure velocity, and predict direction of hurricanes and the public is kept informed through television and radio. It is at the point that "watch" turns to "hurricane warning" that emergency measured are readied to become effective at a moment's notice. Pages 137-141, Old-timers who had weathered other hurricane "watches" and "warnings" may not have been as apprehensive about Beulah as I, who had watched only one coming my way. We had prepared along with other residents of the Rio Grande Valley a season earlier when threatened by one which circled in the gulf, headed menacingly our way, and finally veered south.
A1995-015.Box96.0069B Collection: George O. Coalson's Annotated Bibliography of South Texas Historical Resources Location: 96 / I-18-2	Gift of the Rio : story of Texas’ tropical borderland. (1975). Mission, Tex. : Border Kingdom Press, 1975. Notes: Page 137, We were threatened in 1966; we were tortured by Beulah from September 18 to 23 in 1967; and points in Texas were hit by Celia in 1970 and by Fern in 1971. Since, we have escaped but have lived in apprehension during hurricane season lest the many, many tropical storms which have raged in the Gulf become another Beulah.

Corpus Christi : the history of a Texas seaport. Woodland Hills, Calif. : Windsor Publications, 1982. Notes: Page 91, As the nation entered a recession in 1970, Corpus Christi had a mean visitor-a hurricane named Celia. Like a huge tornado, it did little damage to the waterfront, but it played havoc with the rest of the area. Insurance payments amounted to nearly half a billion dollars. Miraculously, the loss of like was low.
A1995-015.Box96.0069F Collection: George O. Coalson's Annotated Bibliography of South Texas Historical Resources Location: 96 / I-18-2	Citation not found. Citation Notes: Edinburgh 1977. Notes: Pages 118-119, Beulah wasn't the only hurricane to hit the Edinburg area, but certainly it is the best documented and the most recent. It is remembered because of the high winds, but more so because of the tremendous amount of rainwater the storm dumped over the Valley and to the north. The storm began in the spawning area just after mid-September of 1968.
A1995-015.Box96.0069G Collection: George O. Coalson's Annotated Bibliography of South Texas Historical Resources Location: 96 / I-18-2	Kleberg County Texas : a collection of historical sketches and family histories. (1979).

Hurricane Beulah's effects on the Texas middle coast were comparable in many respects to those of Hurricane Carla, with major exceptions.

Celia, the saga of a storm. August Publications. Notes: No page given, Celia was more than a hurricane. She was history. Much of the future will be measured against August 3, 1970, the day Celia smashed into Corpus Christi and its area with the fiercest winds ever recorded here. She changed the lives of many in her passing. Some lost nothing; some a little; many a lot. A few lost their lives.

A1995-015.Box96.0069M Collection: George O. Coalson's Annotated Bibliography of South Texas Historical Resources Location: 96 / I-18-2	"Storm." By Burka. The Texas Monthly. October 1980. Notes: Pages 137-143, Why did Allen blow it? What made the hurricane touted as the storm of the century fizzle out? Part of the answer is that Texas was fortunate indeed: though the weakened storm left its mark on Corpus Christi and the resorts of South Padre Island, it reserved its worst for a sparsely inhabited stretch of coastline occupied mostly of sand dunes and cattle. Pages 229-232, Finally, on Friday morning, Holbrook and others decided to recommend (not order) that people leave, a compromise that was enough to touch off a Y-shaped traffic snarl that by sundown stretched 120 miles from Galveston Island to Columbus along one fork and to Huntsville along the other.
