In the 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 to 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.
