Tornadoes, winds
in 3 states leave
2 dead, 20 injured
Associated Press
Tornadoes and winds up to 87
mph raked Indiana, Kentucky and
Ohio on Monday, killing at least two
people and injuring more than 20,
while cutting electricity to thousands
of people and shattering planes at
Cincinnati’s airport.
Strong winds ripped through a
10- to 12-block section of Newport,
Ky. ( causing heavy damage and an
undetermined number of injuries,
said Gordon Nichols, a spokesman
for the state disaster and emergency
services office.
Streets were blocked off and au
thorities were preparing to call in
the National Guard, he said.
Authorities in Covington, Ky.,
across the Ohio river from Cincin
nati, declared a state of emergency
and warned non-residents to keep
out of the city after high winds
knocked out power to most of the
city and ripped the roofs from doz
ens of buildings.
Marion County sheriff’s dis
patcher Tom Booher said high
winds “just wiped out” a trailer park
on the west side of Indianapolis and
caused heavy damage to several
businesses.
“We’re keeping people from loot
ing right now,” Booher said.
No casualties were reported in the
trailer park or damaged businesses.
Sheriffs Sgt. Rick Johnson said in
Hancock County, Ind., a man was
crushed to death when the barn in
which he and his brother sought ref
uge from a storm collapsed under
high winds.
Fayette County Sheriff Robert W.
McArthur said in Jasper Township,
Ohio, a man was killed when a storm
hit his trailer and three other family
members vyere injured.
State police Sgt. Paul Hedge said
in southern Indiana, one tornado
appeared to have struck Austin, in
juring 15 people, and Little York, in
juring three people.
Austin Police Chief John Adams
said, “We have about 15 to 20 homes
or trailers that have been blown
away or damaged.”
Spokesman Cliff May said at least
10 people were being treated at Scott
County Hospital.
“We’re in the process of taking
care of them now,” he said. “We’ve
got several. They aren’t all in yet.”
Ted Bushelman, a spokesman at
Greater Cincinnati airport, where
six people suffered minor injuries
when control tower windows blew
out, said, “We’ve been shut down
since the storm hit.
“There are also 30 to 50 airplanes
damaged beyond repair.”
The roof and walls of the Motion
Industries plant, near Indianapolis
International Airport, collapsed
during a storm, but none of the
plant’s employees were injured.
Government:
Great Lakes
area may flood
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Serious
flooding could develop in the Great
Lakes region and in Utah this
spring, with minor or moderate
problems possible in other areas, the
government said Monday in its
spring flooding outlook.
Water levels in the upper Great
Lakes, Superior, Michigan, Huron
and Erie, rose to record levels last
fall endangering lake front property
and setting the stage for even
greater hazards when the spring
snow melt occurs.
Michael D. Hudlow of the Na
tional Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad
ministration told reporters that the
potential for flooding and severe
property damage is extremely high
for the shoreline of these lakes.
Hudlow, director of the National
Weather Service’s Office of Hydro
logy, said lake levels are expected to
peak this summer 10 inches or more
above last year’s levels on all Great
Lakes except Ontario.
In addition, he said, the Great Salt
Lake, Utah, has climbed to near re
cord levels, experiencing its greatest
two-week increase on record be
tween Feb. 15 and March 1. The
lake is at its highest level since 1875,
and flooding is expected around the
lake at least through June.
In addition to the Great Lake and
Great Salt Lake, other areas where
spring flooding may occur, the fore
cast said, include the Wind River
and Sweet River in Wyoming, North
Platte River in Wyoming, Colorado
and Nebraska, the Boulder, Big
Thompson and Cache La Dourde
creeks in Colorado, Moueau River in
South Dakota and the Big Sioux
River in the Dakotas and Minnesota.
Details of spring flood potential
across the nation are included in the
annual warning issued Monday.
But the danger for the Great
Lakes was apparent much earlier,
with a warning posted last fall by the
Great Lakes Environmental Re
search Laboratory in Ann Arbor,
Mich.
According to Christopher Schafer
of the Michigan Department of Nat
ural Resources “It’s going to be a bad
year.”
Lake levels are five to 10 inches
above a year ago, posing a threat to
lakefront property.
“There’s no plug that can be
pulled to let the water out of the sys
tem,” Schafer said. “I’s going to be
that way through 1986 and probably
into 1987. There’s no relief in sight.”
Indeed, rainfall in the Great
Lakes region has been high for the
last 15 years, observed Frank Quinn,
of the Great Lakes environmental
lab. In a similar high-water situation
in 1973, damage reached hundreds
of millions of dollars.
Floods have been a major Ameri
can problem throughout the nation’s
history, and in fact are the most
common natural disaster in the na-
