Florida s East Coast On Alert For Hurricane Hurricane Betsy ; Kills One Person In Puerto Rico MIAMI (UPI — The Florida east coast was put on the alert today for Hurricane Betsy, barreling through the Atlantic with 110-mlle-an-hour winds that already have caused one death. At 11 a.m. (EST) Betsy, the year's first full blown hurricane, was only 530 miles east southeast of Miami and rolling ahead at 19 miles an hour, a fast pace for a tropical storm. The Florida east coast from Daytona Beach south to Miami was put on .hurricane alert. At its present rate and course the hurricane center would hit the mainland in 28 hours—about 3 p.m. (EST) Tuesday. But advance gales and hurricane force winds would be felt much sooner. = Winds of the-mighty storm, re corded at 125 miles an hour when it slammed into the Bahamas, were blunted somewhat but still dangerous. One person was killed in Puerto Rico. Gale winds howled for 150 miles to the northeast of Betsy's middle, 100 miles to the northwest and 75 mHes on the southern semi-circle. Sunday Betsy, the first full-scale hurricane of the season, killed one person and caused several million dollars worth of damage in Puerto Rico. Gov. Luis Munoz Marin called an emergency cabinet meetipg to plan rehabilitation for thousands of persons driven from their homes on the densely settled island. The weather bureau located the \ whirler's center about 115 miles southeast of Turks Island in the eastern Bahamas at midnight and said winds were up to 125 miles’ per hour. Betsy travelled along a west northwestward course. Forecaster Davig predicted the storm would be raging in the very midst of the Bahamas by tonight, but its long-range course appeared tob uncertain to- forecast. He said there was virtually no chance of the storm'# breaking up for days.
