Hurricane’s Toll Mounts Battered for hours by hurricane winds and surging waves, the Texas coast, from Freeport to Corpus Christi, Thursday was counting its dead and injured and adding up a huge property damage. The storm moved inland Wednesday, after lashing the coast for several hours, the worst of its fury being spent on the Matagorda Bay section. At least eight persons were known to be dead and nine were missing. The dead included five at East Morales, in a tornado which ripped thru the section during the storm; one at Texas City and two at Freeport. No accurate estimate of the damage could be made Thursday but it was known to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Surging tides and the wind wrecked many houses along the coast section and crops were leveled. At Matagorda it was estimated that at least 75 per cent of the houses in the two were either wrecked or damaged. $300,000 Damage “This town looks about like Angleton did after the storm two years ago,” said one resident of Matagorda, who placed the damage at $300,000 in that town alone. Wednesday afternoon a twister tore through Morales, killing Mrs. W. B. George, 72; Neal Lewis, 45, of Wink; his two step-sons, Harvey, 13, and Rowland Brunette, 12, and Handy Cook, a negro.
