Beach Changes on the Central Teas Coast Associated with Hurricane Fern, September 1971. Department of Geology, Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan. Contributions in Marine Science. Vol. 16.p. 89-98.

Hurricane Fern caused pronounced changes in the profile configuration of the central Texas barrier island system on September, 10, 1971. It caused as much sediment removal as Hurricane Celia. Partial recovery of the beaches began several days after the storm with shoreward migration and partial welding of small swash bars.
