just what course the hurricane
would take. However this vi-
vicinity was fortunate in escap-

We received 2:30 inches of
rain and pretty high winds on
the two days.
It is estimated that about half
of the cotton remaining in the
field is a loss, due largely to
sprouting of the seed, rather
than wind damage.
The moisture will be of bene-
fit to ranges and fall gardens.

of around 100 miles at Whar-
