The original release sheet reads: synopsis UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL ED HERLIHY Announcing HILD LEAVES HEAVY DESTRUCTION The eighth major hurricane of the season roars through seven states before blowing herself out. In low-lying towns along the Gulf of Mexico, more than 150,000 people are evacuated to safety as police, National Guardsmen and Civil Defense workers go on disaster alert. Their rescue efforts go off like clockwork. The death toll is held to 37 persons-a remarkably small number for such a storm. Sugar crop is badly damaged and authorities have not yet attempted to assess the overall financial loss.
