Hurricane season
makes expert wary
s United Press International
MIAMI — The six-month
hurricane season opened Tues
day and weather officials say 60
million coastal residents may be
in for disaster because they
ignore evacuation warnings and
live in poorly constructed dwell-
ings.
Dr. Neil Frank, head of the
National Hurricane Center, said
the problem is compounded be
cause most of the residents of
the hurricane-prone Atlantic
and Gulf coasts have never ex
perienced a major hurricane
and are not sufficiently wary of
the force of nature’s most deadly
phenomenon.
Frank said many people are
either unprepared or geog
raphically unable to evacuate in
time.
A behavioral study by a
Miami engineering firm, as part
of a comprehensive evacuation
plan for Dade and three other
counties, bears out his fears.
The survey showed more
than one out of every four peo
ple living near the south Florida
coast would defy orders to eva
cuate their homes in the face of
an approaching hurricane.
Frank also foresees problems
in getting out people who want
to leave. Many coastal areas have
no effective evacuation plans.
. A hurricane slamming into
the U.S. mainland is more dead
ly than either a tornado or an
earthquake. The prospect of
one occurring this year, Frank
said, makes him very nervous.
Inadequate construction is a
great concern.
“We know how they (coastal
buildings) were engineered but
not how they were built,” Frank
said. “I think most of the big
ones will survive but you just
don’t know how they were built
so you can’t say with 100 percent
assurance they will survive.”
An average of two major
storms hit the U.S. coast every
three years. With more and
more buildings and people
along the coastline, the peril in
creases during the June 1 to
Nov. 30 storm season.
“I have been told we could
save 10,000 lives a year if people
would wear seat belts,” Frank
said. “But they don’t. And we
could save lives if people paid
attention to our (hurricane)
warnings, but they don’t.”
About 15,000 people have
died this century in 31 killer
hurricanes — 6,000 in 1900
when Galveston was hit by a
storm in what is still considered
America’s greatest natural dis
aster.
In 1979, Hurricane Frederic
proved to be the costliest storm
when it devastasted Mobile,
Ala., and adjacent coastal areas
of Alabama and Mississippi to
the tune of $2.3 billion.
Nixon predicts Reagan win
DOE
United Press International
NEW YORK — Former
President Richard Nixon pre
dicts Ronald Reagan will win
re-election in 1984, defeating
Sen. Edward Kennedy, who,
he says, is burdened by a
1960s mentality and needs to
lose 20 pounds.
In an interview with CBS
Evening News correspondent
Diane Sawyer, Nixon said
there was no way the Demo
crats would nominate former
Vice President Walter Mon
dale because he is “just a
warmed-over Carter.”
If he chooses to run, Nixon
said, Reagan would win be
cause he has kept his prom
ises.
He said by 1984 Reagan
will say, ‘“I promised that I
was going to cut taxes and I
have.’
“He will have cut taxes, he
will have cut inflation, he will
have cut government spend
ing and he will have cut unem
ployment,” the former presi
dent said.
Kennedy, Nixon said, must
do a number of things before
he can seek the nominaliotB
"He’s got to lose m
pounds,” Nixon said.‘‘HeiM
has got to enter the ’80sratifl United
than the ’60s. He’s got toi«LUBBO ,
some new ideas.” cotton hek
Crosbyton,
Asked how smart thepiJ c l ll ‘ llt< l
dent is, Nixon replied, “MJt ctors
smarter than his critics litl| st ^ nn .^
given him credit for.” Design
