Wednesday, November 2,1983/The Battalion/Page 11 Alicia inquiry shows NWS equipment failed United Press International HOUSTON — A routine post storm inquiry by the National Weather Service shows forecas ters performed well during Hurri cane Alicia last August, but some of their equipment did not. Preliminary findings by the team working in the Severe Weather Branch of NWS head quarters in Washington show that as the hurricane came ashore west of Galveston Aug. 18, the follow- ing equipment problems occurred. •A hurricane “hotline” de signed for NWS conference calls with the National Hurricane Cen ter in Miami failed. •The radio antenna used to broadcast weather information to the public was knocked out of ser vice, possibly by lightning. •Galveston Bay tide gauges. designed to measure the “storm surge,” showed a rising tide but then stopped working. •Rain seeped into the radar sys tem at the Galveston bureau, causing a malfunction after the storm came ashore. Richard Coleman, acting direc tor of the severe weather branch. said Monday the malfunctions were being studied to prevent similar problems in the future. But he said the malfunctions did not hinder forecasters in the Houston area from providing good service to municipal officials and residents in the affected area. Immigration Law Firm Samuel PI.

The inspection, which officials said began Monday and would be completed Tuesday, was ordered after faulty wiring was blamed for the tragic chain of events last Fri day at the Dallas Kidney Disease Genter. Dr. Tom Parker, director of the center, said extensive tests were conducted Monday on the machine, but a final report was not expected from the Food and Drug Administration until late this week or early next week. He said officials know that two wires on the machine had been transposed during installation, but the machine had operated perfectly for seven years — until Friday’s accident. The center’s second dialysis machine, manufactured by Roy- Extracorporeal Inc., was deter mined to be operating properly, as was another machine in nearby Denton. The company said those were its only machines in North Texas.
