SURVIVOR COA8T STORM
VISITING FATHER-IN-LAW-
Tom Jones arrived in this city from
Aransas Pass Wednesday morning and
will spend a few days with his fathef-
J. A. Curtis, and family. Mr.
Jones was in Aransas Pass when the
storm hit that stricken city and saw
all the damages wrought by high
wind and water. He says the storm
hit the city about 12:30 Sunday after-,
noon, and the wind increased in veloc-
ity until near midnight, when water
to the depth of 12 feet was running in
the streets. By 3:30 the wind had
subsided and the waters were reced-
ing. He says words cannot express
the feeling of one who has passed
through such an ordeal. Houses were
falling and the wind and waves were
carrying bits of wreckage in all direc-
tions. There were fev; houses that
did not suffer damage and ail the
buildings in the low places were com-
pletely wrecked. People hurried to
the high lands with the breaking of
the storm and the loss of life was not
heavy, in that section. He says he
does not care to pass through the
same experience again, and that some
of the scenes will never be blotted
from his mind. ,
