Six to eight thousand people died, mostly by drowning. Storm tides reached 15 feet or more. Not a single building was left undamaged. Total property damage was S30 or 5540 million. In September of 1919, Corpus Christi was hit by the worst storm in its history in terms of casualties. Tides rose 16 feet above normal, and wind was charted at 110 miles an hour. The Texas Almanac says 284 lives were lost, and the damage totaled above 3520 million. That amount of damage, however, was nothing, compared to what was in store for the city in August of 1970.
