Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Carla. DESCRIPTION: Exceptional tides, flooding inland on the Texas coast, underlined the warnings of the approach of hurricane Carla. At one point, evacuation was aided by school buses, which took nearly a thousand men, women and children to safety. Reports put the total number of refugees at half a million.
