Hurricane Beulah

Hurricane Beulah was a powerful Category 3 storm that sent 115 twisters across Texas in 1967. Beulah formed east of the Windward Islands, tracked just south of Hispaniola, and then crossed the northern Yucatan Peninsula.

Although Beulah reached Category 5 strength over the Gulf of Mexico, it weakened greatly before its final landfall. Within a 36 hour period it dropped almost 30 inches of rain in Beeville, Texas. Hurricane Beulah caused an estimated $1.1 billion (2000 dollars) in damage.
