This 1980s home movie captures the Cone family Sesame Place, a extant children’s theme and water park open from 1982 to 1984 in Irving, Texas. In between attractions, the children meet Bert and Ernie. Back home in Houston, the Cones watch Hurricane Alicia blow through their neighborhood.

I believe the storm in the final seconds of this footage is actually Hurricane Alicia, which is why the trees were bending so hard. We lived north of Houston, so although the storm's winds had subsided substantially following landfall, they were still pretty strong.
