Hurricane Carla left her mark on Galveston

GALVESTON — When Hurricane Carla slammed into the Texas Gulf Coast about 2 p.m. Monday, Sept. 11, 1961, it blew right into weather history.

Not because it was a dangerous storm — although it was — with winds up to 150 mph when it made landfall. And not because it came 61 years and a few days after Galveston’s Great Storm, the nation’s deadliest natural disaster.

Carla is remembered as the first hurricane ever to debut on live television, headlining the evening news and holding viewers breathless in its unfolding drama.

It also was the first hurricane to appear as a satellite image on television, made possible by a weather satellite launched late in 1960. And, for a young, unknown Houston reporter, Dan Rather, it was a life-changing career boost.

It was Rather who kept the nation posted on the hurricane’s approach from his perch at the National Weather Bureau atop the U.S. Post Office building on 25th Street in Galveston.
