...hospital was evacuated. A quarter of Harlingen's population was taken to higher ground in outlying areas. Upstream at Mercedes (pop. 10,081), frantic crews dumped twelve-ton bales of car bodies into the gap at the broken weir, but the arroyo swallowed everything with hardly a gulp, and downstream the tide climbed inexorably.
