1967 Snowstorm. Chicago (Ill.). Dept. of Streets and Sanitation. "A Program for Improving Winter Street Maintenance in the City of Chicago." 1967. Chicago Historical Information 1967, 1979: Major Snowstorms Severe snowstorms are relatively frequent in Chicago compared to Miami, but infrequent compared to Buffalo and other points east. Chicago's snowstorm of the century occurred in the winter of 1967. After unseasonably warm temperatures, snow started falling at 5:02 a.m. Thursday January 26. Snow continued to fall through Friday morning for a total accumulation of 23 inches, with drifts to 6 feet. Cold weather and periodic snowfalls over the next 10 days created more havoc. Although trains continued to run, cars, buses and planes didn't. Almost all schools, offices and other work places were closed for several days. Commuters unable to reach home spent several nights camped out in downtown hotels, O'Hare International Airport and stranded cars. The Department of Streets and Sanitation, which is responsible for plowing streets, estimated that 75 million tons of snow fell on Chicago. Some of it was sent south in empty railcars as a present to Florida children who had never seen snow before. Large numbers of fatalities are relatively uncommon in winter storms, but 60 deaths were attributed to the stormmostly heart attacks from shoveling snow. 273 looters were arrested. One young girl was killed while police were shooting at looters.

DISASTERS AND MISHAPS – FLOOD HAZARDS Blizzard and Flood in 1863 As well as the miners, runholders suffered heavily, experiencing severe hardships from isolation, exposure, and lack of food. Stock losses were heavy everywhere. The number of miners' bodies recovered was fewer than 20, but the numbers missing left the certainty of terrible tragedy. It was impossible to assess the total toll in lives, but the Otago Witness , in August and September 1863, counted over 100 fatalities in the floods and in the snowstorms that followed. Contemporary unofficial estimates give figures varying between 100 and 200, but the Warden's Court records place the ascertained deaths at 37. At the time, and in view of the constant movement among the mining population, it is certain that the fate of many was never determined. In 1928, to mark the catastrophe, the Government erected a stone monument, between Teviot and Manuherikia—at Gorge Creek—in what today is a deserted gully. In 1863, however, it was known to the miners as Chamounix Creek, a bustling canvas town with stores, hotels, and grog shanties. At the time of the storms it was the centre of great mining activity. Several graves may still be seen in the gully and, on the bleak summit of the Old Man Range, there are cairns that mark the resting places of miners and rescuers alike.

William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) The most disastrous flood in Ohio's history was probably the one which occurred in March 1913. These men are rowing down a Defiance, Ohio street. Edward Bronson Collection( MS 454 ). Original negative owned by Defiance Public Library. Northwest Ohio is not famous for its weatherat least not in the same way that New England is famous for its winters or that Florida is famous for its tropical climate. Thanks to the clearing of the Great Black Swamp, the wind blows more freely here than elsewhere in the state (Bowling Green is fondly called "Blowing Green" by many locals), but for the most part, the climate is typical of the midwestern United States. There are four identifiable seasonshot summer, cold winter, cool, wet spring and fall, enabling farmers to grow corn, small grains, and vegetables. Within this climate pattern are the day-to-day changes in the weather with which we all live. Catastrophic weather is so memorable that the events serve as milestones. Floods, tornadoes, and blizzards disrupt lives and destroy property. The tornadoes that did so much damage in northwest Ohio in November 2002, killing five people, will be remembered for many years to come. What resources will future historians draw on to learn about the effect this and other large storms had on the people and the economy of this region?

WWW Contact FAQs Email This About ... Air Disasters Computing Natural Disasters Space Blizzard in Chicago; Record snow from Rockies to Great Lakes By Patrick Mondout In January of 1979, Chicago experienced one of its worst blizzards on record. The storm started on the night of Friday, January 12th and left 20 inches of snow over the weekend on top of a base of seven to ten inches. It closed O'Hare - the world's busiest airport - for 46 hours and left the mayor's re-election plans in shambles. The blizzard itself devastated areas from the Rockies to the Great Lakes and left at least 99 dead. In Iowa, National Guard helicopters brought in 75,000 pounds of hay to starving cattle. Similar efforts were made throughout the Midwest. In Chicago, roofs collapsed from the weight of the snow, and transportation was brought to a standstill for nearly a week. Garbage trucks were unable to run and the rats took advantage. The salt used to de-ice the roads caused motor failures on some of the trains. Abandoned cars slowed snow removal efforts. Buses were at least two hours behind schedule if they were running at all. After six days, only half of the runways at O'Hare were open for traffic. President Carter declared 23 counties in Northern Illinois disaster areas. Governor James Thompson of Illinois initially toured the state for photo-ops, but then headed to Florida for a vacation with his family. He cut his vacation short after citizens expressed outrage. He was not the only politician to suffer.

Recalling the Blizzard of 1977 The year 1977 came in like a lion and went out the same way. Seven disasters were declared ranging from snow removal to flood recovery assistance. Personnel from the Pittsburgh District participated in disaster recovery efforts in six states. The first of the disasters was a blizzard reminiscent of the Blizzard of 1993. The snow started to fall Friday, Jan. 28, 1977. "We left about 2:30 in the afternoon on Friday," said one Corps employee who participated in the disaster recovery efforts. "We didn't get to Ashtabula until 11 p.m. We were driving 5 to 10 miles per hour in the blizzard." "Our purpose was to go out and open county roads. We worked with county engineers to open the roads," he said. Working on behalf of the Huntington District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District personnel coordinated actions with state and local officials and negotiated with contractors. "Two hours after the meeting with the contractors they started removing snow," he said. The area that he was in was so desolate that "on Sunday, we couldn't find a place to get a cup of coffee." After negotiating the clearing of snow in Ohio, some of the Corps personnel proceeded to Beaver County, Pa., to start the snow removal effort there. "It took three weeks to remove all the snow," one employee recalled.

The blizzard did paralyze city life and cause tremendous damage and suffering, but much of the memory of the blizzard has tended to label it as the sole impetus behind many of the city's physical transformations. As this exhibit has shown, the blizzard was more a clarifying event than a transformative one. The blizzard did not lead directly to the burying of overhead wires or to the subway, nor did it revolutionize sanitation in the city all of these initiatives were on the civic platter well before March 12, 1888, and were not begun in earnest until the mid-1890s. The blizzard was but one in a series of events that helped city planners, workers, politicians, and businessmen realize the path to a more efficient, cleaner, and more modern city. It is instructive that popular memory tends to collapse causation onto the most dramatic events of an era, and that the Blizzard of 1888 acts as an easy magnet for memories big and small, true and untrue. The disconnection between some of the stories that emerged from the blizzard and some of the memories that evolved in subsequent years exemplifies this phenomenon, which itself is a function of emotions that often emerge in the wake of disasters and that impact the way disasters are remembered. For instance, individuals' desires for the authenticity of having "been there," for possessing a unique (even if untrue) take on events, and the sense that shared participation in an event bolsters community all shape the way people remember dramatic occurrences.

The Blizzard of 1888 On the morning of Saturday, March 10, 1888, a low pressure weather system extending from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico moved eastward across the country's midsection at high speed. It contained two storms: a southern one dumping rain on St. Louis and a northern one dropping snow on Green Bay, Wisconsin. By the evening of the tenth, the southern storm system was moving out to sea over the Carolinas, and the northern storm system seemed to be phasing out. The weather in New York City on that day was seasonably warm: it was sunny and in the upper fifties. The forecast for New York City and much of the Northeast for Sunday, March 11, predicted southeasterly winds, a slightly warmer temperature, and rain in the evenin g This map, source unknown, shows the convergence of weather fronts that created the Blizzard of 1888. Over two hundred New Yorkers died as a result of the storm, either from accidents, from freezing to death, or because they were unable to get food or medical attention. The storm affected all classes of citizens, each of whom responded in their own ways: wealthy New Yorkers were able to stay inside and could afford plentiful coal to warm their homes , while working-class New Yorkers looked for ways to augment their incomes by shoveling out and helping their stranded fellow-citizens during the storm. The Blizzard of 1888 paralyzed New York City, along with the entire Northeast, for two days; it would take more than another week for the city to fully dig out and get back to normal. Contemporary estimates put the cost of the blizzard to New York's businesses at more than $20 million.

United States Search and Rescue Task Force Driving In Emergencies and Disasters Disaster driving! In times of emergency, people often react incorrectly, either staying with or abandoning their cars at the wrong time. This mistake, can be fatal. After almost every disaster, search and rescue teams find victims who might have survived if they had known whether to stay with or leave their cars during these times of emergency. The following are safety tips for drivers in various types of emergencies. This information should be kept in the glove compartment of your car. In any situation, the most important rule is to: "Remain Calm. Don't Panic!" Earthquake Stay in your car! Bring the car to a halt as soon as safely possible, then remain in the car until the shaking has stopped. The car's suspension system will make the car shake violently during the quake, but it is still a safe place to be. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, overpasses and utility wires. When the quaking has stopped, proceed cautiously, avoiding bridges and other elevated structures which might have been damaged by the quake and could be damaged further by aftershocks. Hurricane Evacuate early! Flooding can begin well before a hurricane nears land. Plan to evacuate early, and keep a full tank of gas during the hurricane season. Learn the best evacuation route before s storm forms, and make arrangements with friends or relatives inland to stay with them until the storm has passed.

39. NFPA: Risk Watch Natural Disasters Have a disaster supplies kit and keep it especially equipped for your vehicle at blizzard wind of 35 miles per hour or more with snow and blowing snow http://www.nfpa.org/riskwatch/RWND/sevwinter.html

Staggering winter storm statistics show that 70 percent of winter storm deaths are automobile related. One-fourth of winter storm fatalities are the result of individuals being caught in the storm and more than 50 percent of these deaths are males. Not only can winter storms cause hazardous driving conditions but they can trap you in your vehicle. Have a disaster supplies kit and keep it especially equipped for your vehicle at all times, you'll never know when you'll need it. Make sure it includes blankets, jumper cables, a small shovel, a container of sand for traction, and a set of dry clothing. Knowing the weather terminology: Snow: frozen precipitation in the form of ice crystals. Blizzard: wind of 35 miles per hour or more with snow and blowing snow reducing visibility to less than 1/4 mile for a period of at least three hours. Sleet: rain that freezes into ice before reaching the ground. Freezing rain: rain that freezes on impact with a surface at a below-freezing temperature. Ice storms: freezing rain builds up after hitting cold surfaces.
