Hurricane Hugo Rips Through South Carolina
135-Mph Winds, Tides Pound Charleston Area
By Laura Parker and William Booth
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, September 22, 1989; Page A01
CHARLESTON, S.C., SEPT. 21 -- The eye of Hurricane Hugo, the region's most severe storm in 35 years, moved into South Carolina here about 11:30 p.m. with 135 mph winds and about a five-foot tidal surge that battered a wide area around this 319-year-old city, which was largely deserted.
Torrential rain and damaging winds shook the area, and severe flooding was reported, although the tidal surge was thought to be far greater -- perhaps as high as 17 feet -- about 25 miles north near the tiny town of McClellanville.
Charleston County and neighboring Georgetown County were reported using only emergency power about midnight, and telephone service went dead shortly after 11 p.m.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or estimates of damage from officials at the state's emergency preparedness center in the capital at Columbia about 100 miles away. One tornado was reported in the Columbia area.
Initial damage reports were spotty because of communications problems, and many involved roofs. The center said the roof of the National Weather Service building at Charleston Air Force Base blew off about two minutes after officials there reported by ham radio that Hugo's eye was above them.
In Georgetown near the coast north of Charleston, the center said, the roof blew off a school being used as a shelter, but no injuries were reported.
At 2 a.m. Friday, as Hugo slammed 100 mph winds at Berkeley County about 25 miles north of Charleston, authorities there cited "a chaotic situation" and asked for National Guard help in rescue and road-clearing operations, saying that people were stranded and that fire trucks could not reach blazes. No injuries were reported.
Officials at two Charleston hospitals said early Friday morning that no injured people had been treated, but one added, "No one can move around."
In Charleston about 10 p.m., windows had begun bulging and popping at the eight-story Omni Hotel near the Battery along the sea wall. Authorities said the windows had been tested to withstand winds of 250 mph.
Just before midnight, the National Hurricane Center reported from Coral Gables, Fla., that winds in downtown Charleston were being measured at 100 mph with gusts to 119 mph.
The center said that most of Hugo's punch was in the portion behind the eye and that heavy rain and high winds could remain in the Charleston area until midday Friday.
Power outages had begun about 9 p.m., well after most of the people in this city of more than 75,000 had been evacuated. About 200 people were at the darkened Omni, most of them Charleston residents who said they had decided not to leave the area.
More than 200 highway patrol officers and 1,300 members of the National Guard were stationed inland to keep people out of coastal areas. As soon as the storm passed, they were planning to move toward the coast to assist cleanup efforts and maintain order, according to officials at the center.
Officials said more than 120,000 people had been evacuated from Charleston County almost three hours before Hugo reached the area. Officials said 22,800 people were in 121 shelters statewide.
At the Omni, Allison Harwood, who is in her 60s and said she lives near the hotel, said she had come for shelter because she did not want to leave her house, built in the 1700s. She said she had taped all of the doors and windows.
The hotel doors were barricaded, with sandbags piled in front of doors. People were urged not to leave, and only reporters departed, interested in seeing the area near the sea wall.
By 10:15 p.m., word passed through the hotel that windows in a sixth-floor room were breaking and that windows elsewhere were bulging. Workmen carrying wooden 2-by-4s passed through the lobby on their way to repair French doors that had blown open.
Outside, electrical power went out by sections in the city, officials said. Lightning flashed occasionally, centuries-old trees bent toward the earth or were uprooted and rain poured in sheets.
Earlier this evening, Hurricane Center Director Robert Sheets said of Hugo's ferocious approach, "This is clearly a worst-case condition." He noted that the combination of high tide, expected at 2:13 a.m. in Charleston, the tidal surge preceding Hugo and waves generated by the storm could inundate a wide area of coastal plain.
"We expect there could be extensive flooding and considerable damage," he said.
The hurricane center said areas in the path of the storm could expect rainfall of between five and 10 inches.
U.S. military authorities began moving hundreds of aircraft and a score of ships from bases in Hugo's path, Defense Department officials said.
Seven bases, including Oceana Naval Air Station and Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, also were preparing for possible evacuation, Pentagon spokesman Fred S. Hoffman said.
More deadly and destructive than Hugo's 135 mph winds were the surging tides accompanying landfall. The hurricane center was predicting storm tides 12 to 17 feet above normal.
These powerful storm surges result from the great dome of water that travels trapped within the swirling interior of the hurricane. The tidal surge, often accompanied by high crashing waves, could easily flood low-lying coastal areas and inundate barrier islands in the storm's path.
Nine of 10 hurricane fatalities are attributed to the storm surge. During the most severe such storms, tides can rise 25 feet above normal.
Concern about storm surges is even greater if the hurricane arrives during a high tide.
"Timing is everything," said Vic Wiggert, a scientist at the center who is using computer models and charts to predict the height of storm surges at a dozen locations along the East Coast.

I find myself thinking about this time a long time ago. I may have been in the 4th grade at the time, I don't remember. One of us, maybe me, accidentally made up the fold-out sofa bed with the dog still in it. She stayed in there all day. I came home from school and sat down on the sofa wondering where she was. Then I started hearing her faintly crying out, but I couldn't tell where the sound was coming from. This other neighbor kid was sitting on the couch too, we had to have been crushing her. Eventually I realized she was inside the couch and let her out. She jumped out and ran to the water bowl. I can certainly understand how that dog must have felt.

The Gates Learning Foundation, which started life as the Gates Library Foundation in 1997, focused on putting technology into libraries in impoverished areas. (That project continues as part of the broader Gates initiatives.)
For a time, Bill Gates was criticized for his lack of prominence on the giving scene.
As the Microsoft founder's rate of giving increased, critics said his gifts weren't altruistic, but rather a way to shift the focus from his company's antitrust troubles in Washington, D.C., or to seed the market by giving away computers, software and technology training, creating more demand for Microsoft products.
Foundation officials flatly deny there's any motive for giving

Gates Merger Forms Charity Colossus
By Helen Jung
Seattle Times Technology Reporter
THE COMBINED Gates foundation will have assets of $17.1 billion, making it the second-largest charitable trust in the world. Just to meet federal rules, it will have to give away $500 million by the end of the year.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda French Gates, are merging their two charitable foundations and committing an additional $6 billion to create the country's largest philanthropic foundation.
The new entity, called the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, will boast a $17.1 billion endowment and target improving health and education around the world. The venture combines the William H. Gates Foundation, created in 1994, with the Gates Learning Foundation, which was created in 1997 under a different name. The merger is expected to be completed by Jan. 1.
The $6 billion commitment of Microsoft stock, announced yesterday

Mentioned in dispatches
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A soldier mentioned in dispatches (or despatches) (MiD) is one whose name appears in an official report written by a superior officer and sent to the high command, in which is described the soldier's gallant or meritorious action in the face of the enemy.
In a number of countries, a soldier's name must be mentioned in dispatches as a condition for receiving certain decorations.
United Kingdom, British Empire and Commonwealth of Nations
In the British Armed Forces, the despatch is published in the London Gazette.
Soldiers of the British Empire or the Commonwealth of Nations who are mentioned in dispatches but do not receive a medal for their action, are nonetheless entitled to receive a certificate and wear a decoration.

Princess Diana Ruffles Italian Hosts, Insists on Seeing Secret Naval Gear
April 21, 1985 United Press International
LA SPEZIA, Italy — Britain's Princess Diana, displaying the strong will for which she is known, upset Italian officials Saturday by insisting on seeing top-secret NATO equipment aboard an Italian navy frigate.
"There is a trace of (Britain's) first Queen Elizabeth in her," Italian Defense Minister Giovanni Spadolini remarked.
The incident took place aboard the frigate Grecale, on which the 23-year-old Diana and her husband, Prince Charles, watched a display of sky-diving off La Spezia, an Italian naval base in northwestern Italy.
Diana and Charles, heir to the British throne, were on the second day of a tour of Italy that started Friday on the island of Sardinia and will end May 5 in Venice.
During the short offshore cruise aboard the Grecale, Cmdr. Gianpaolo di Pola invited Prince Charles to inspect a control room that contained highly classified equipment used by forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to counter Exocet missile attacks. The equipment was developed after Argentina used the French-made Exocets against British navy ships during the Falkland Islands War of 1982.
Prince Charles--wearing the uniform of Royal Navy commander, a rank he reached in service between 1971 and 1976--took up the offer to inspect the room while Diana was scheduled to tour the ship.
However, Diana insisted on joining her husband in inspecting the secret anti-missile equipment. Italian officials expressed shock but granted her request.
"We made an exception for her. We would not have done it for anyone else," the Italian frigate commander said.
Spadolini, a former prime minister who played host to the royal couple during their visit to the naval base, expressed some astonishment over Diana's behavior.
He compared her strong will to that of England's Queen Elizabeth I, under whom the ships of Sir Francis Drake smashed the Spanish Armada in 1588.
"She took an acute interest in all the technical matters," Spadolini said. "If you tell an English princess she cannot do something, she will insist on doing it."

Soviet warships being watched in Gulf
Houston Chronicle News Services
TUE 11/05/1985 HOUSTON CHRONICLE
A U.S. Navy vessel is closely monitoring the movements of two Soviet warships that entered the Gulf of Mexico and came within 40 miles of the Texas coast, the U.S. Navy said.
The USS Taylor, American guidedmissile frigate, has been tracking the Soviet ships - a guided-missile destroyer and a guided-missile frigate - since they left Havana Thursday, said Lt. Cmdr. Craig Quigley, a Navy spokesman in Norfolk, Va.
The Taylor is always "within visual range" of the Soviet vessels
