News Sports DogBytes Opinions ... Real Estate Story last updated at 11:37 a.m. on Sunday, March 7, 1999 Athens has witnessed its share of natural disasters By Erik Tryggestad Staff Writer Droughts, floods, tornadoes and even blizzards. Athens has seen it all in the past 100 years. Two deadly tornadoes struck Athens in 1973, following almost identical paths of destruction. The first storm hit March 31. It did extensive damage in Jonesboro and Conyers before cutting its way through Athens at 6:30 p.m. The tornado churned up U.S. Highway 78 right into the city. A typical tornado, it skipped and hopped. The randomness of the funnel's path could be seen in the wreckage, survivors said. The funnel cloud ravaged homes, businesses and nature from Stonehenge in west Athens to Wonderland Estates, a mobile home park off North Avenue. One Athens woman was killed when she was thrown from her truck by the force of the twister. The first tornado hit with absolutely no warning. ''It was nice and shiny outside,'' Glenda Harrison recalled with wide eyes. Harrison was fixing dinner in her Forest Heights a subdivision community off Oglethorpe Avenue home when she heard what she thought was her air conditioner malfunctioning.

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.

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.

30. Untitled Document As with many other New York disasters, New Yorkers became aware during thecourse of the blizzard that they were in the midst of an historic event. http://www.virtualny.cuny.edu/blizzard/introduction/bliz_intro4.html

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.

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.

Main Page News Releases Articles A special information site from The University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Make Selection Disaster Main Page Disaster Preparation Disaster Recovery Drought Fire Nuclear Emergency WINTER WEATHER WARNINGS - WHAT THEY MEAN Being familiar with terminology used by the Weather Service will help you know what to expect when weather warnings are issued. The following terms are used frequently in winter weather releases: Freezing rain occurs when temperatures are below 32 degrees F and rain freezes on impact. This causes an ice coating on all exposed surfaces. If the coating is heavy, falling trees or wires can be additional hazards. Freezing rain or drizzle is called an ice storm when a substantial glaze layer accumulates. In some parts of the country, ice storms are called "silver thaws" or "silver frosts." Sleet is frozen rain drops (ice pellets) which bounce on surface impact. Sleet does not stick to other objects, but sufficient accumulations can cause dangerous driving conditions. Travelers' advisory means that falling snow and/or drifting snow, strong winds, freezing rain or drizzle will make driving hazardous.

Main Page News Releases Articles A special information site from The University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Make Selection Disaster Main Page Disaster Preparation Disaster Recovery Drought Fire Nuclear Emergency CARING FOR LIVESTOCK AFTER A BLIZZARD Water Following a blizzard, get water to your livestock as soon as possible; their water need is critical. Cattle cannot satisfy all their water requirements by eating snow. In pastures with severe drifting, water in shallow streams may be absorbed by snow in the stream bed. Very little, if any, running water may be available for several days. You may need to haul water to cattle. Also, if water is limited, keep cattle off salt. Cattle which have been away from feed and water for several days may overeat salt, causing salt poisoning. Feed When stock cannot be reached by roads, use planes, helicopters or snowmobiles to provide emergency rations. Cattle Feedlot cattle that have gone through a severe storm or stress period should be put back on feed carefully. Change the ration gradually from a low to a high proportion of concentrate. Watch your herd carefully for several weeks following prolonged severe winter weather exposure. Isolate cattle that show signs of scouring or labored breathing. Keep these animals in a dry, draft-free place and contact a veterinarian.
