Wikipedia: Dan Rather - I never knew this: "Rather began his career in Texas, becoming a national name after his reporting saved thousands of lives during Hurricane Carla in September 1961.

In his first national broadcast, he helped initiate the successful evacuation of 350,000 people." Via reddit/GIS.
