Alicia traps 50,000 as flood fears rise during hurricane
As Alicia roared along the upper Texas coast, more than 50,000 residents faced rising water and evacuations cut off by high tides. Peak winds reached 102 to 130 mph, with a 12 mile wide eye striking land west of Galveston and a 40 mile beachfront impact from Port Arthur to Galveston. Tornadoes zapped Houston inland while Coast Guard sought to reestablish contact with oilship crews. Houston saw evacuations and a major heart transplant proceeded despite the storm.
