Ocean-front resorts in Mary
land and Delaware escaped the
fun fury of Hurricane Connie
for which they had been bracing
for two days-but Ocean View
and Bethany Beach, Del. were
clipped by freak "twisters" last
night.
Hurricane warnings were low
cred this morning.
Today, the weakening storm
was still kicking up waves. with
S0-mile-per-hour winds, but the
Coast Guard officer in charge
said tides rose only about two
and a half feet above normal.
Three hundred residents and
vacationers left the northern
end of the beach and evacuated
to Stephen Decatur High School,
four miles away. Fort Meade
furnished cots for the evacuees.

Guard station said three "com-
pletely unexpected" tornadoes
hit Bethany yesterday afternoon.
Bethany Fire Chief Sidney A.
Bennett said it hasn't been pos
sible to estimate the complete
damage. At least 40 or so houses
were damaged and several were
unroofed.
At only one Ocean City spot,
near 25th street in the northern
section, did breakers from the
ocean pound up across the
boardwalk into the street. A
garage was flooded, but no
houses.
The worst period was between
$3.50 and 4 am, when the wind
blew steadily at SIS miles an hour,
with gusts up around 10.

ported vacationers already were
returning to the beachfront
hotels this morning after taking
