Storms with Strong Winds
Sometimes winter storms are accompanied by strong winds creating blizzard conditions with blinding wind-driven snow, severe drifting, and dangerous wind chill. Strong winds with these intense storms and cold fronts can knock down trees, utility poles, and power lines. Storms near the coast can cause coastal flooding and beach erosion as well as sink ships at sea. In the West and Alaska, winds descending off the mountains can gust to 100 mph or more damaging roofs and other structures.
E xtreme Cold
Extreme cold often accompanies a winter storm or is left in its wake. Prolonged exposure to the cold can cause frostbite or hypothermia and become life-threatening. Infants and elderly people are most susceptible. What constitutes extreme cold and its effect varies across different areas of the United States. In areas unaccustomed to winter weather, near freezing temperatures are considered "extreme cold." Freezing temperatures can cause severe damage to citrus fruit crops and other vegetation. Pipes may freeze and burst in homes that are poorly insulated or without heat. In the north, below zero temperatures may be considered as "extreme cold." Long cold spells can cause rivers to freeze, disrupting shipping. Ice jams may form and lead to flooding.

There's Storm of the Century Isaac's Storm The Perfect Storm When the Wind Blows , and my favorite, Nature on the Rampage , a Kamasutra for weather nymphos. Nature on the Rampage 's cover promises "Hurricanes, Droughts, Wildfires, Tornadoes, Floods, Heat Waves, Blizzards. Also Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and even Comets!" ( Even comets! ) Inside are titillating photoshouses bitten in half by tornadoes, cars swallowed in snow banks, etc.and details to arouse even the most jaded weather fetishist. Did you know that several Americans are killed every year when lightning strikes a phone pole, courses through the phone line, and electrocutes them as they are making a call? Tip: Use a cordless.

    The world's worst natural disasters When man meets nature in force, nature wins By David McCormick , January 13, 2000
    For all our technology, humanity has yet to conquer the most powerful force on Earth - nature. Extreme weather and natural disasters continue to strike with little warning, wreaking havoc on the lives of millions around the globe. Here are some the most notable and deadly natural disasters humankind has ever seen.
    Swirling and spiraling - the worst cyclones and hurricanes... Flooding in Bangladesh has killed more people than any other natural disaster One of the poorest and most densely populated nations in the world, Bangladesh is periodically pounded by vicious cyclones that sweep up the Bay of Bengal, unleashing terrible flooding and resulting in tremendous loss of life. In 1970, a cyclone and the resulting floods killed 500,000 people, making it the worst natural disaster of the 20th Century. Packing winds of up to 230 km/h, the cyclone slammed into the heavily populated coastal area, where several river deltas provide fertile land. The strong winds produce massive waves, which deluged entire villages. Millions of people were left homeless. "The Great Hurricane" that hit the Caribbean in October 1780 is the most deadly Western Hemisphere hurricane on record. It killed 22,000 people on the islands of Martinique, St. Eustatius, and Barbados.

    Advanced Family Readiness Kit Preparing to Handle Disasters What Are Winter Storms? A winter storm can range from a moderate snow over a few hours to blizzard conditions with blinding wind-driven snow that lasts several days. Some winters may be large enough to affect several states, while others may affect only a single community. Many winter storms are accompanied by low temperatures and heavy and/or blowing snow, which can severely reduce visibility. Why Talk About Winter Storms? A major winter storm can last for several days and be accompanied by high winds, freezing rain or sleet, heavy snowfall, and cold temperature. People can become trapped at home, without utilities or other services. Heavy snowfall and blizzards can trap motorists in their cars. Attempting to walk for help in a blizzard can be a deadly decision. What Can I Do To Prepare for a Winter Storm? In addition to completing the 4 Steps to Safety, do the following:
    • Learn about your area's winter storm risk. Contact your local Red Cross chapter and emergency management office for your area's winter storm risk.
    • Understand the hazards of wind chill, which combines the cooling effect of wind and cold temperature on exposed skin.

    The Blizzard of 1978
    Seacoast SAD , February 15, 1978
    Although this section of High Street is at least a half mile from Hampton Beach, it still bore the full brunt of the coastal flooding, causing residents to evaduate the area. The big blizzard of '78 has finally passed, leaving in its wake tons of debris, ten foot drifts, flooded homes and a calamitous situation along the entire New England Seacoast. Most of those evacuated at the peak of the storm have returned home to begin the massive cleanup which a storm of this size entails. Hundreds of residents sustained automobile damage through flooding, with many folks finding their cars blocks away from where they last parked. The statistics tell the story. Boston's Logan Airport totaled 27 inches of snow on Tuesday, Seacoast accumulation ranged from 15 to 24 inches, with drifts reaching heights of ten to fifteen feet and more. Wind velocity was measured as high as 80 miles per hour at the peak of the storm. Tides, because of the full moon, peaked at 14 feet above normal, the cause of most of the major area flooding. The immediate Seacoast area was the hardest hit, with many Hampton and Rye Beach residents evacuated amidst five foot tides along their streets. Plum Island residents were evacuated also by the National Guard. We had a chance to interview some Hampton and Salisbury residents. The following is an eyewitness account of the evacuation proceedings.

Jobs A GOOD TIME TO REFRESH OR DEVELOP THOSE DISASTER PLANS By Larry Beaupre, News Executive, Gannett Hurricane Floyd, which lashed its way up the East Coast as this was written, serves as a good reminder to newspapers to update or create effective plans to cope with disasters in their own front- or backyards. Here are some key elements to consider in writing a disaster plan, which can be tailored to the catastrophe(s) your newspaper is most likely to experience and cover: Make sure all on the staff know they have a responsibility to phone in and/or come in during an emergency, whether they are contacted or not. Set up a telephone tree indicating who should be contacted in the event of an emergency, in what order and by whom. Be certain to include other departments, including advertising, circulation, production and the publisher. Develop a wallet card of telephone numbers for key staffers. Also have a map marking the location of their homes, so if a disaster strikes, those nearest can be called to get to the scene quickly. Have the process for jumping the size of the newspaper, rewebbing the press during the printing cycle, moving ads, replating, etc., determined in advance so it can be done quickly. Designate who has the authority to make or negotiate such changes.
