| Governor Price Daniel Addresses the North Sea FloodIn 1961 Hurricane Carla created 26 tornados before its September 11 landfall along the Texas coast between Port O’Connor and Port Lavaca. The extreme winds and water devastated downtown
Galveston claiming at least 43 lives. Relief donations came in from as far away as West Berlin. A year later, West Germany suffered over 200 fatalities as a result of the North Sea Flood of 1962.
In this television address, Governor Price Daniel appeals to Texans to contribute donations to the flood’s relief efforts. | | Twister!On May 11, 1970, Lubbock, Texas was struck by an F-5 tornado, until that time the only tornado to hit the highly populated downtown area. Produced by the federal Defense Civil
Preparedness Agency, this film recreates the events of that evening and includes interviews with citizens during the aftermath and footage of the tornado’s destruction. All major city officials
including Civil Defense Director Bill Payne, Fire Chief Herschel Sharp, and Chief of Police J.T. Alley are involved in the recreated scenes. The federal Office of Civil Defense selected Lubbock
as one of three cities nationwide to develop an Emergency Operations Plan, a project that was completed in November 1969, only months before the May 1970 tornado struck. This film served to show
the importance of municipal emergency planning and response, as evident from a message by Johnny Davis, Director of the Defense Civil Preparedness Agency, at the film’s conclusion. | Teach Texas - TAMI Films Listed by Topic  ... pecial:Search?search=wichita+falls+1979&fulltext=Search 1979 Wichita Falls Tornado]...
