Bus Turned Submarine Amid Amarillo Flood Echoes
A South Grand West Thirteenth bus, swept by a heavy rainstorm, became a makeshift submarine as passengers clung to seats and improvised exits. Driver J. M. Skaggs steered through flooded streets while riders debated the safest escape, some leaping into waist-deep water and others testing a rake as a depth gauge. The scene ends with the driver delivering the scribe to his home and plans for a house boat on the Canadian.
