watched the water cut new inlets
across Santa Rosa Island. "There's a
bunch of people who had catamarans," Wilson said. "It's just blowing them along like you flip open
your notebook." A 250-foot- fishing
pier on the beach had fallen into the
Gulf hours earlier with the first big
wind gusts.
Deputy Patrick Howells, on patrol until 9 p.m., said it was becomlag nearly impossible to move on
the roads: "You're lucky to make it
four miles without being stopped.
Between trees down and standing
water, most of the roads are gone."
The Coast Guard said five U.S.
Navy tugboats were stranded in
Pensacola Bay, amid waves too high
for rescue craft. How many sailors
.were aboard and why they were
.there was not known. "Anybody
out in that has got to be completely
insane," said Coast Guard operations chief Urben Gibbs. "They
have no choice but to ride it out.
The only thing we could have done
is to have them hit the water and
try to catch them in the water. We
would sure have lost somebody."
At Milton, 20 miles northeast of
Pensacola, the Highw'ay Patrol reported a tornado damaged the Nickel Seafood Co., the Six Flags Shopping Center and a house that caught
fire in Bagdad, south of Milton.

a major storm surge along Florida's
Panhandle between Fort Walton
Beach and Panama City. Strongest
wind speed: 104 m.p.h. Like Frederic, this was a class three, or extensive, hurricane on a one to five
scale, with five being catastrophic.
It caused an estimated $550 million
in damage and is considered the
greatest hurricane ever to hit the
States - and the last major hurri-~

Gulf Coast.

Heral
In darkened Mobile, Ala., the
wind moaned and whistled through
the streets. It snapped the branches
off hundred-year-old oak trees as if
they were twigs. It pounded at the
'boarded-up windows of historic
stone and wooden houses.
And in a deserted downtown
square - the Bienville Square,
named after the French explorer
who founded Mobile - the wind
played an eerie accompaniment to a
John Philip Sousa march..
The music came from the trees,
where loudspeakers are hidden.
Every 'day, the speakers fill the
park with the sound of march
music. Either Frederic had set off
the music Wednesday night or
somneone, had forgotten to. turn it

was turned down because, according to a Maj. George, the request
did not come "from Civil Defense."
Purvis, in an unusually calm
voice, when informed of the denial,
commented, "Tell Maj. George,
thank you.."
A call was placed to Gov. Fob
James who had'~set up operations at
Spanish Fort. A few minutes later
word from the, governor was received by Purvis. "Is there is
anything else you need?"
Within minutes four generators
were enroute to the shelters and the
communications problem between
the two agencies was cleared.
About 11 p.m., the main force of
the storm hit. All law enforcement
agencies in the county were ordered
to "seek safe harbor" and ride out

were filed with the Newhouse News Service for distribution

It has also required a disregard for normal newsgathering
:techniques, timecards and, at times, personal safety.

what was probably the worst thing
to hit Mobile in the lifetimes of
most people here, about 200 souls,
families o essential Provid'ence
Hospital staffers, were herded into*
the nursing school auditorium to
ride out Hurricane Frederic in
supposed safety Wednesday.
.They were' settling down and

when a ferocious -gust of wind
swooped* down on the auditorium,
takcing windows and roofing.
showering debris and, in moments,
sending the inhabitants scurrying
into adjacent hallways.
'
Miraculously, as some described
it, none of the hospital visitors had
to be added to the patient rolls at
Providence Hospital, owing to
quick evacuation of the auditorium.
an aticularly
ironic tragedy
was avoided.
Hospitals are perhaps the most
vulnerable entities in disasters not their physical facilities, more
stable and 'enduring than most, so
much as the delicate balance of life
within them,
When the tip of what appeared to
be a tornado hit the University of
South Alabama Medical Center at
7:30 pn.m Wednesday. tearing off
the side of the building on four
floors, it was a 'catastrophy not just
of millions of dollars in losses but of
potential threat to lives dependent
on sophisticated electricitypowered equipment.
Auxiliary power systems kept
most of the hospital going even)
after most of the city was in
darkness Wednesday. but just
before the tornado struck, one of'
the emergency generators
overheated and cut itself off,
stranding the intensive care units

Nurses quickly picked up the
slack, operating breather

Mobile's hospitals had the situation
well in hand, all five implementing
disaster plans they rehearse each
year. Officials said no lives were
lost as a result of the upheaval,
But financial losses were heavy:
USA Medical Center: Officials' early estimate of damage to
the outside of the building and roof
and rain destruction of expensive
equipment tallied $5 to $7 million,'
Providence Hospital: No loss
range could be set, officials said,
other than "millions of dollars,"
mostly owing to damage in the
center wing, which lost all its
windows and the equipment contents in the medical-surgical de-
partr'en t.
obstetrics
and
gynecology and the laboratory, in
addition to root damage.
Mobile Infirmary: E.C.
Bramlett. president, s'aid that
facility was lucky. relatively, with
12 rooms' destroyed, some roof
damage tonrigsaon
ceilings out and water damage all of which he unofficially
estimated would cost "well under
$1 million."
Doctors Hospital: Minor roof
and window damage was noted by
Dan Ahart, who put the losses there
at $l00,000-$200,000.

Administrator, Bill Mason said

to the fifth floor of Doctors during
the storm, and. he estimated roof
and miscellaneous damage to be in
the $200,000 -range.'
Although hospital officials across
the board were using words such as
"lucky" and "miraculous" to describe their efficient operations
during Hurricane Frederic. it was
careful planning that paid
dividends in human safety andI
lowered losses.
Bramlett summed up the
philosophy of disaster preparedness
as "getting your people there at the
area they wvill be needed before the
disaster comes."
"~That's'the key - g&t your
people on board ahead of time,"
Bramlett said.
Most hospital employees - including Powell of USAMO, Barry
Plunkett of Providence, Bramlett
of Mobile Infirmary_. Ahart of
Doctors and Mason of Spring Hill worked around the clock 'throughout

In the days after Frederic, many

scurrying to take what belongings'

The Campbell Transfer Co.,

storm with only half a warehouse.
A warehouse manager, who was on
the scene Friday, said, "We've lost

Across the railroad tracks from
Happy Hill the Plateau section was
also not as ravaged as it could have
been as, almost magically, many
of the wood-framned houses camne
through Frederic with moderate
damage being sustained. That in
itself was miraculous.
Near the Hop-ewell Baptist
Church a large oak tree had fallen
across the road, making passage
impossible but several groups of
men were seen Friday climbing
around the tree with bags, tubs anil
garbage cans full of ice for "some
of the old folks who couldn't get out
to get any."

As Thursdaymong dawned

The scene on' North Happy Hill
Avenue was one of disbelief as trees
blocked passage in every direction,
It was only after many. of the
residents took it upon themselves,
as was -the case in many other
sectors of the city, to clean the
debris from the streets that it was
