Dust storm winds
cause B-CS damage
The broken cross-guard at Villa Maria and
Pinfeather is part of the damage caused by a
dust storm which hit Bryan-College Station
Friday bringing strong winds.
from staff and wire reports
No injuries were reported,
but flights were delayed, signs
were destroyed and power
lines were downed as a West
Texas dust storm hit Bryan-
College Station Friday.
Winds at Easterwood Air
port gusted to as high as 55
mph causing several flights to
be cancelled or delayed, said
Chip Yantis of the College
Station Flight Service, an arm
of the Federal Aviation Admi
nistration.
Other planes left as sche
duled but were required to fly
by instruments instead of
sight because of the poor visi
bility due to the wind and
dust, Yantis said.
The Skaggs Center sign on
South College was another
casualty of the wind. Large
pieces of the sign were blown
onto the road, and College
Station firefighters were cal
led in to knock down the rest
of the sign.
Several College Station re
sidents were without power
for up to an hour after the
wind blew down power lines.
Bryan residents also experi
enced temporary power
losses.
Before reaching Bryan-
College Station, the winds kil
led two and injured at least 13
in other parts of Texas.
In Lubbock, the high winds
and low temperatures caused
the wind chill factor to drop
below zero.
A bus collided with a truck
outside of Big Spring causing
a pile-up that injured 10
people.
In Killeen, a lineman was
killed while repairing two
power transformers knocked
out by the wind.
And in Dallas, a man fell to
his death from a freeway over
pass while chasing his hat.
White wants
new industry
United Press International
EL PASO — Acknowledging
that Texas is changing because
of the decline oLthe oil and gas
industry, Gov. Mark White
promised to pursue new areas
that would help develop a
broader industrial base in the
state.
White told El Paso business
leaders Thursday that he would
work closely with county judges
and commissioners to develop
new industry.
White, who pointed out that
Texas was in a “state of change”
with the decline of the oil and
gas industry, said the Texas In
dustrial Commission would
aggressively pursue new indus
try for the state in order to meet
with the changing times by de
veloping a broader industrial
base for Texas.
“The Texas Industrial Com
mission and I will work closely
with you to attract industries to
small communities as well as the
large urban centers,” the gov
ernor said.
White commended Peggy
Rosson, an El Paso housewife he
appointed to the Public Utilities
Commission, for her “hard
work” on the board, adding she
was working on toughening reg
ulations to avoid unnecessary
utility rate increases.
He said utility companies
would have to better justify fu
ture rate increase requests.
During his three-hour visit to
El Paso, White also addressed
the West Texas County Judges
and Commissioners Association
and visited the adult probation
residential facility, during his
visit to El Paso.
