In about 1961 or so, we lost our swingset (when I was a kid) to a hurricane that hit Corpus Christi. We were living in Alice, TX, near the King ranch.

I can't say I have ever been to Victoria, but when I lived in Refugio, I always heard people talk about the big city Victoria.

In 1961 I lived in Beaumont Tx and we had no Captain Kangaroo for a couple of days!!No power...that would be Hurricane Carla..on the Galveston seawall, there are
sections of the wall that say ...replaced after H.Carla...

1961 - was it Hurricane Carla? It came in at Port O'Connor and was a biggie (slightly before my time, but people here still talk about it.

I go though Refugio on my way to Corpus Christi and used to have a great aunt and uncle who lived there. It IS a small town. Good little Mexican food restaurant there - Moya's? or is that in Tivoli?
