The water closed some of the few roads in the area as the rainfall caused high water in normally dry arroyos. Felice, the nicest lady storm in recent state history, brought badly wanted rains to much of the eastern two-thirds of Texas and caused almost no distress. The last anyone heard of Felice she was gasping her final breath somewhere in the Brazos River bottoms. She left a legacy of rotating air currents for a hundred miles or more around her center and they brought much-needed rain. Felice came ashore at 9 p.m. Tuesday between Galveston and High Island, northeast of Gal veston. Her winds never reached hur ricane force of 75 miles per hour and tides did not reach expected heights. The Galveston Weather Bureau office said Wednesday that winds reached only 55 m.p.h. where they earlier had been estimated as high as 70. Highest tide reported was 1.9 feet above normal. Heaviest rain reported was 6.25 inches at Galveston. Washington- on-the-Brazos recorded 5.34 ATTENTION FRESHMEN E-M Pictures taken for Aggie- land University Studio Sept. 14-18.
