Tropical Storm Debbie, bearing 50 mile-an-hour winds, clawed the hurricane-tortured Gulf coast 9/28 with tides and winds and caused the evacuation of more than 750 men, women and children from Santa Rosa Island. Debbie's present target apparently was Florida’s “miracle strip,” a 100-mile stretch of snow-white sand beach extending Pensacola to Panama City.
