Beulah degenerated t o t r o p i c a l storm s t r e n g t h s t 0400 GMT on the 13th some 150 miles s o u t h of Kingston, Jamaica.
The storm moved westward and slowly reorganized. Beulah regained h u r r i c a n e s t r e n g t h on the 14th about 425 miles
south s o u t h e a s t of Havana, Cuba. The h u r r i c a n e plowed through t h e northwest Caribbean on a northwesterly
course t h a t would t a k e i t over the Yucatan Peninsula. Generating winds up t o 125 miles a n hour Beulah moved
over the Mexican r e s o r t i s l a n d of Coeumel and a c r o s s t h e Yucatan Peninsula. Overland t h e storm r a p i d l y
diminished and, when i t e n t e r e d t h e Gulf of Mexico, j u s t west of Progresso, winds had dropped t o minimum

Beulah l e f t a wide path of d e s t r u c t i o n i n n o r t h e r n Yucatan. Roads were flooded, power and communications c u t
o u t , r u r a l l i n e s toppled and crops were ruined throughout the jungled peninsula. Eleven people were k i l l e d .
Once over t h e warm waters of t h e Gulf of Mexico Beulah regained t h e momentum and i n t e n s i t y she had l o s t on
land. She continued west northwestward and by 1000 GlD on the 18th was located about 420 miles s o u t h e a s t of
Brownsville, Texas; maximum winds a t t h i s time were 90 knots. The i n t e n s e hurricane turned t o a northwesterly
course and headed f o r the south Texas coast. A t 1600 Gm on t h e 19th, Beulah, i t s c e n t e r 175 miles s o u t h e a s t
of Brownsville, was g e n e r a t i n g 105 knot winds c l o s e t o the c e n t e r and gale f o r c e winds o u t t o 250 miles t o t h e

This was t h e lowest reported pressure during the l i f e o f t h e storm.
Great h u r r i c a n e Beulah moved inland j u s t e a s t of Brownsville, near the Texas-Mexico border, about 1200 GMT on
