Today's Fact
On August 17, 1969, America's Gulf Coast was slammed by a monstrous Category 5 hurricane, whose vortex of clouds filled almost the entire Gulf of Mexico. It packed 175-mph winds and pushed a storm surge 24 feet high as it raged into the US at the mouth of the Mississippi River. In the end, Camille killed 259 people and caused $1.42 billion in damage. (It came up into Virginia and flooded our area, too. It is the first flood I remember. - CD)

Today's Fact
On August 10, 1937, George Beauchamp decided to turn up the volume on guitar music. At the time, Americans were loving exotic Hawaiian music, but acoustic guitars just couldn't be played loud enough for large crowds. Beauchamp received a patent on this day for his "frying pan," a cast-aluminum guitar with amplifying electric pickups, which he had initially created in 1931.
