SECOND STORM
AT PIT. ISABEL
Two Cyclones Pass Over
Water Without Injury
Or Damage

What might have resulted IN q
serious tragedy was avoided Thurs
dav afternoon when Port Isabel's
second tvister OF the day was seen
hy q small boat crossing the bay.
IN time 70 change the course and
escape the force Of the cyclone.
The second cyclone occurred about
0 o'clock and was not az severe as
the first one, which was first no
ticed around 2 o'clock.
According to Capt. Wallace Reed
of the u. 8. Coast Guard, the first
twister was the only one Of its kind
to appear In that section within
his knowledge. 1t appeared from
the direction Of Laguna Vista,
swept down the bay, passed Port
Isabel and continued north. No
damage was done TO boating or
buildings, and whether or not ships
in the Gulf of Mexico came in con-
tact with the cyclone vas not
known.
The cyclone was first a shiver-
ing finger reaching out Of a dense
cloud that was so black IL was al
most dark blue" was the way John
4. Rutledge, eyewitness. described
the original twister. 1T finally
came in contact with the waters Of
the bay. and threw up a spray
1900 feet wide. 1t progressed
slowly. but was always twisting
like a snake in agony. Fish were
hurled into the air. II any boats
had been in its path, 1t would have
been disastrous"
1t was visible for almost half an
hour.
Capt. Reed said Friday morning
that a small boat or launch was
crossing the bay when the second
twister occurred. The tornado was
seen In time for the boat to rapidly
change its course and escape. al
though the waters became so rough
that the bark was almost swamped.
"A brisk norther was reported az
Port Isabel. and temperatures were
low Friday morning, the Coast
Guard chief reported. A brisk
wind was blowing. Rains Thurs
day evening and night have made
the roads practically impossible, he
added. The weather was clearing
UP today.
