FORT WALTON BEACH - South Okaloosa and
Walton Counties began quietly and calmly to
prepare for the Sunday arrival of Hurricane Carmen
as memories of Hurricane Camille stilled any talk of
hIfricafie parties.
Civil Defense authorities in both counties
became active around the clock Friday morning
preparing themselves mentally and checking and
double checking their plans as they kept a wary eye
on Carmen's position and path.
Fort Walton merchants were taping windows
and boarding up as Destin's charter fleet began
leaving their slips in Old Pass Lagoon and heading
for safe anchorages in Joe's Bayou and away from
the Gulf............
...
.
Anemergency operations center has been set up
in the basement on the Walton County Courthouse in
DeFuniak in preparation for the expected arrival of
the storm Sunday morning.
Bob Smith, West Florida Regional Coordinator
for Civil Defense, said Friday night no special instructions were going out to county residents "at
this time." But,he added, "if the hurricane
maintains its present track I will recommend we.
go into OPCON three tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 8 a.m.
Beg In
Carmen
Operational condition three means, he said, that
all police, sheriff and firedepartments, as well as
civil defense units, will go on 24-hour standby alert.
Shelters will be opened and evacuation instructions
will be prepared and issued.
Smith said residents should keep a radio tuned
for any special instructions.
Those living south of the bay are urged to secure
all mobile homes, small boats and other vulnerable
items and structures.
On Holiday Isle a steady stream of workmen
were leaving for the weekend while others tidied up
construction sites inthe event of high winds and
tides. Area surfers were heading for the beach.
The Gulf looked flat and calm, but long-paced,
rollers were pounding out a slow rhythm on the
beaches and sending fingers of foam within 75 feet of
Ahe newly constructed beach pavilion of Sandpiper
Cove.
At Eglin AFB all flyable aircraft b egan leaving
at I p.m. for bases in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas and the last wasscheduled to leave before sun.
down. Earlier Eglin had fed all available weather
information into a computer and the prediction
cameback thAt Carmen would hit at HurlburtField,
a mile west of Mary Esther and five miles west of
Fort Walton Beach at 4 a.m. Sunday. •
-During
the day work crews began-dismantling
radar equipment on exposed sites along Santa Rosa
Island and trucking it through town to safe storage*
areas on the main base. In other areas, work crews
moved about the base securing equipment and,
materials that could be blown about.
Eglin officials will hold a staff meeting at 6 a.m.
Saturday to decide what further precuations to be
taken depending on Carmen's latest movements. A
'decision is expected around 8 a.m.
The storm's intensity and movement will deter-.,
mine whether the base will evacuate. An information officer stated that if winds of 150 miles an hour
are predicted a decision will be made on evacuation
and sheltering base personel.
Civil Defense Director Tom Nichols was .in
frequent contact with Leon Greene, chairman of the'
Board of County Commissioners over further
preparations to be made to protect the county.
Nichols said-a close eye was being kept on Carmen's movements and a move easterly could trigger
further. activity in the county. Greene had earlier
considered calling a meeting Friday afternoon, but
Carmen's continued northward movements cancelled those plans.
Fire Chief Billy Lee was on vacation, but standing by to return to duty and head up the city's
preparations for a hurricane. The department too
was keeping a close ey on wind and tide predictions
so citizens in low-lying areas would have ample
warning of flooding conditions.

Sgt. John Lahander of the Florida
Marine Patrol said smallcraft warnings have been issued. All area men
will be put on standby status in the
event of an alert, he said.
"We will maintain the office 24
hours a day so we'll have direct radio
communication with all units,"
LaLander said.
"In case one.(hurricane) comes
in, we work with other law enforcement agencies on evacuations,
road blocks and whatever else is
needed. If it comes to Pensacola, we'll
work with Civil Defense to protect the
people as well as we can," he said.
Escambia Civil Defen'se Director
M. K. Renfroe said his office is
operating normally.
"We're checking all our
resources, facilities and manpower.
Tomorrow (Friday) we'll call a council meeting before 5 p.m. to issue
orders necessary for the proper
precautions," Renfroe said.
The meeting will probably be a
joint city-county meeting of the civil
defense boards. The city board is
made up of city councilmen, the city
manager and city coordinator. County
civil defense board members include
Renfroe, county commissioners and
the county executive director.
At Pensacola Naval Air'Station
(NAS), the condition 3 alert isin effect.
A Navy spokesman said pilots
were on standby:to fly fixed wing
aircraft to otherbases.
"We usually try to leave early so
pilots have visual flight rules," the
spokesman said.
Helicopters at NAS Whiting Field
near Milton will probably be stored in
hangers in the event Hurricane Carmen strikes on or along the
Panahadle. Military aircraft and vessels are expected to leave the area by
noon Friday if the storm continues on
its present course.

Items Selling Like Crazy,
W ind, lod Insurance Buyers Out of Luck
By DOT BROWN
Editor, Uving Section
People who gambled by trying to outguess
Hurricane Carmen's path before buying wind
and flood insurance have waited too long.
"Wind insurance sales were cut off yesterday
(Thursday) afternoon," says Don Rushing, who
works at Fisher-Brown Insurance Co. "Flood insurance must be 15-days-old to be in force and
.insurance companies stopped mobile home insurance sales last week."
A Friday afternoon spot check of Pensacola
discount and food stores indicated Pensacolians
were taking precautions in case the storm hits
close enough to disrupt electric power.
"People are buying batteries, lanterns,
radios and gasoline stoves like crazy," said a Kmart appliance department manager,
Batteries, canned luncheon meats and bread
were the hot items at Delchamps in Town and
Country Plaza, according to assistant manager
Wayne Poole. And by 3 p.m. Friday the store had
sold all candles, he said.
Early afternoon sales at Pleezing Fort Store
on North T Street indicated peple were more
worried about being in the dark than going
hungry, manager Jack Huggins said. "I'm ex.
pecting canned food sales to increase late Friday
afternoon," said Huggins.
A Majik Market office employe said none of
the company's convenience stores personnel had
reported runs on the canned food shelves,
"Everything is fairly normal," he said.
At Derby's, a community food store on Highway 98, people were buying canned goods,
luncheon meats and candles.
A supermarket employe who work at the A &
PFood Store, 3401 North 12th Ave., said shoppers
were adding soups and canned meats to regular
orders.
"People just seem to be buying what they
might need but nobody seems to be stocking a
horde," said another chain employe.

that t h-'re will not be a noticeable
drop when the tide shifts toward low.
A spokesman said the Coast
Guard planned to evacuate the station Saturday morning if the trend of
conditions continued.
Joe Seeley at the Pensacola
Beach Fishing Pier said ground
swells of five to six feet were
breaking onto the beach. He said
water was up on the beach 50 to 75
feet farther than ordinary .under normal tide and sea conditions.
Winds were expected to pick up
Friday night but gale force winds
shouldn't hit this area until sometime
late Saturday afternoon, weathermen
indicated. Some light rain was possible also Friday night.
A Gulf Power Co. spokesman
Friday afternoon said the company
has moved into Phase One of its
storm contingency plans.
All employes have been placed on
alert and instructed on their special-.duties at the company, the spokesman said.
Should Hurricane Carmen strike,
emergency supplies and equipment
have been readied for use and the
company is on a 24 hour alert.
Southern Bell Telehpone also had
its emergency plans readied.
Some flooding was reported
Friday in Wakulla and Franklin
Counties, causing State Road 67 out of
Carrabelle to be closed.
From Santa Rosa Island to Cedar
Key, residents were urged to finish
plans for protecting life and
property.
Mobile home residents were told
to check their tiedowns and be ready
to seek safer shelter in the event of a
hurricane warning.
Boaters in the warning area were
urged to move their craft from open
water or take them to protected
moorings.
Meanwhile, officials of the state's
Disaster Preparedness Division set
up in Jacksonville and in Defuniak
Springs to monitor Carmen's path

Civil Defense and port officials in
Mobile Friday began preparedness
measures as Hurricane Carmen
churned throughthe Gulf.
Officials at the Civil Denfese
operational center said their emergency coordinator center was activated after a hurricane watch was
issued for 600 miles of the coast,
including Alabama.
A Civil Defense spokesman said
no orders have been issued as.yet for
evacuation of persons in low-lying
areas of the city.
Civil Defense officials in neigh.
boring Baldwin County said about
6,000 persons live in low-lying areas
in that county and may have to be
moved out in the event of unusually
high tides spawned by the hurricane.
Coast Guard and Alabama State

preliminary plans to secure the port
should Carmen strike in this area.
Steamship companies were
alerted to secure all loose equipment
on the docks and docks personnel
were alerted for stand-by duty Saturday if needed.
Harbormaster Peter F. Shea said
21 ships were in port and four others
were at anchor in the Gulf waiting to
enter the harbor to take on or
discharge cargo.
Shipping officials said the ships
anchored outside the mouth of Mobile
Bay probably would put out to sea to
dodge the hurricane if it swung
toward thisarea.
Mississippi Gov. Bill Waller ordered activation of the state's emergency operations center Friday.
Waller, acting in Jackson after a
meeting with civil defense and state
agency heads, named Maj. Gen. E. A.
Turnage, adjutant general of the

center coordinator.
Turnage said the center, located
in Gulfport, would be operational at I
p.m. Saturday. The command and
communications post would include
all the state's agencies on the threatened coast.

More on Carmen, 5A
Hurricane Carmen raked towns near the
Louisiana shore Suhday, moved inland
toward Texas
and weakened to a 35 mph depression, leaving relatively unscathed the Florida, Alabama and Mississippi Gulf Coasts.
In Escambia County, authorities Sunday night
were evacuating some families from low-lying
northern areas flooded by heavy rains, some as
sociated with Carmen, and a line of severe thunderstomrs moved through Escambia, Okaloosa and Santa
Rosa ounties.
Down Guiosft
In its path,
left limited property damage
and one fatality Carmen
- a storm-related traffic
accident. As
it began mo~ing northward in the Gulf of Mexico Saturday it had developed 150-m.p.h. winds and
forecasters had predicted it was headed straight for
New Orleans.
But the storm shifted westward, bypassing the
metropolitan area and thrashing out its dwindling
winds over Lafayette, about 40 miles inland.
Worst hit appeared to be the state's $500 million
sugar industry. Gilbert Durbin, vice president of the
American Sugar Cane League, estimated a $100
million loss in storm-flattened cane fields.
Tracking an unexpected path,, the eye stalled at
the coast -shortl' after midnight Sunday and then
edged away from-evacuated areas east of Morgan
City, where highways had been jammed on Saturday
with bumper-to-bumper lines of fleeing residents.
*The strongest winds raked the coastal cities of
Morgan City, Franklin and Abbeville. When Carmen
came ashore, forecasters ranked it 2 on a scale of I to 5
-very dangerous.
Word of the shift in direction reached Vermilion.
Parish (county) at 230 a.m. The worst of the storm hit
two hours later, giving several hundred refugees
from low-lying areas barely enough time to reach
shelters in Abbeville.
Several small communities were flooded near
Grand Isle, where the storm stalled and Whipped up
high tides.

1969 for this area. There did not appear to be too much debris deposited
on the beaches this time.
An unfinished condominium near
the Okaloosa line in Walton County
erected a fence to stop trespassers but
the fence washed away. A few trees
lost limbs but there were no traffic
tieups.
The on and off heavy rains all
weekend did create some drainage
problems. Many cars were stalled in
the wet going. The city closed
McArthur Street off Beal Parkway
Monday to correct drainage problems.
Eglin Parkway was flooded badly at
several locations.
Nichols said federal and state civil
defense authorities made a complete
inventory of area civil defense equipment last November and at their
suggestion a mock exercise was held a
month ago.
He praised the volunteers in his
organization which include several
radio clubs, volunteer firemen, law
enforcement officers, Red Cross
volunteers and others. The Red Cross

operated the shelters.
Members of the County Commission were on duty along with Nichols.
