But this combination, if it oc
curs in the Atlantic or the
Caribbean or the Gulf, can be
' dynamite.
Dynamite? This is an old
fashioned, an inadequate word.
The combination can generate
violence comparable to the ex
plosion, several times a second,
of atomic bombs equal in power
to 20,000 tons of TNT.
It can, In short, produce a
hurricane.
Power From Sea
A hurricane is the most de
structive of all violent weather
manifestations. Where does it
get its fantastic power? It gets
it directly from the sea.
Says Robert E. Stevenson of
Texas A. & M. college: "These
monstrous storms draw from
the sea the awesome quantities
of energy required to sustain
them through their short but
violent lives."
Stevenson made a study of
Hurricane Carla, the big wind
of Sept. 3-15, 1961, which
whipped the Texas gulf coast
with winds up to 175 miles an
hour. In places it raised tides
of 22 feet.
As a result of weather bureau
warnings, 500,000 persons were
evacuated from the region, and
Carla killed only 46 persons
a relatively small toll for one of
the worst gulf storms of the 20th
century.
On the weather bureau scale
it was a No. 8 huricane which
means it destroyed $50 million
to $500 million worth of prop
erty. Lifted Two Billion Tons
Those statistics tell little of
Carla's real power. The late
Harry Wexlcr, the weather bu
reau's distinguished science di
rector, estimated that Carla
picked up as much as two bil
lion tons of water from the
ocean in a single day.
Subsequently, Wexler calcu
lated, Carla dumped 40 billion
tons of water upon the Missis
sippi valley in the form of tor
rential rains.
Texas A. & M.'s Stevenson
studied Carla's prodigious en
ergy from another angle. He
calculated the amount of heat
the sea, off the Texas coast, had
given up to Carlo to drive its
fantastic winds.
A month after Carla passed
inland, Stevenson found, the up
per water layers in a large re
gion over which the hurricane
had moved were still as much
as 4V4 degrees cooler than the
unaffected deeper layers.
Energy Calculated
This and other facts gave
Stevenson material with which
to calculate how much heat en
ergy Carla had sucked from the
sea. He figured the heat trans
fer in the 24-hour period at 60
trillion calories per second.
"Expressed in other terms,"
Stevenson said, "the amount of
energy transferred in 24 hours
was sufficient to heat 62 mil
lion average homes for an en
tire heating season (fall-winter-spring)
in a climate comparable
to that of Washington, D. C."
This was just part of the en
tire movement of energy from
sea to storm, Stevenson said.
The total heat transfer, he said,
probably was 10 times greater.

TIRED FEET SOOTHED Even beauty has its beastly moments,
Susan Bergstrom, Miss Arizona and fourth runner-up in the Miss
America contest, finds on her return to Phoenix. Susan is soothing
her tired feet as she prepares to enter Arizona State University

Klamath Falls Air Group to Compete
KLAMATH FALLS-Kingsley
Field's 322nd Fighter Squadron
will be one of 14 top Air Force
squadrons from throughout the
world competing for three top
places in "William Tell" live
firing Oct. 7-14.
The project is held bi-annually
at Tyndall AFB, Florida. Test
planes, crew members and
electronic intercept efficency
and methods are demonstrated.
The participating teams rep
resent air divisions from
throughout the United States,
Alaskan Air command, Air Na
tional Guard, United States Air
Forces in Europe and Pacific
Air Forces.
The teams using the super
sonic interceptors will be flying
missions which closely simulate
unknown aircraft attack condi
tions. Using the Hughes Falcon
air-to-air heat and radar hom
ing missiles and the Douglas
Genie air-to-air rocket, the
teams will be firing at the fast
Ryan Firebee jet drone target,
which is one half the size of the
interceptors.
Teams will be graded on their
ability to shoot down the drone
at altitudes of above 50.000
feet, below 50,000 feet and night
missions.
