Effects of Hurricane Celia -- a focus on environmental geologic problems Effects of Hurricane Celia -- a focus on environmental geologic problems 1970

At 10 pm (CDT) on Friday, July 31, 1970, a tropical squall struck the western tip of Cuba causing property damage and the loss of 5 lives. Twelve hours later at 10 am (CDT), Saturday, August 1, the tropical depression had moved 150 miles northwest and had intensified into Tropical Storm Celia.

Hurricanes as Geological Agents: Case Studies of Hurricanes Carla, 1961, and Cindy, 1963 Hurricanes as Geological Agents: Case Studies of Hurricanes Carla, 1961, and Cindy, 1963 1963

Tropical storms, which cross the Texas coastline with a frequency of 0.67 storms per year, play a major role in nearshore sedimentation on the south Texas coast. Greatest geological effects of these storms are produced by wind-driven waves and by storm surges.

Facies and genesis of a hurricane-washover fan, St. Joseph Island, central Texas coast Facies and genesis of a hurricane-washover fan, St. Joseph Island, central Texas coast 1970

Two distinctive subaerial physiographic features that form a substantial portion, by area, of most barrier islands along the Texas coast are the washover fan and the tidal delta. Volumetrically, washover fan deposits and tidal delta deposits form a significant part of each barrier island.
