en Lunatic Wind: Surviving out the Storm of the Century

en We are in a new and potentially deadly era for storms, one that demands new technology, new tools. It's not enough to watch TV or listen to the radio anymore. It's a good start, but if you want to maximize your odds of surviving a storm, any storm, you need multiple safety nets. You should never be totally dependent on just one source.

en If you can keep it all together, you have a lot better chance of surviving any storm like that.

en We're very concerned. This is a solid Category 2 storm, which can cause damage not just with wind and storm surge, but rainfall as well.

en The biggest hazard of this storm is the winds. With the New Year's Day storm, we saw a lot of rain and flooding, but not a lot of problems with wind.

en When the wind speed began to go down the storm surge did not dissipate. ... There was essentially a lot more momentum in the water than there was in the wind.

en The weather-cock on the church spire, though made of iron, would soon be broken by the storm-wind if it... did not understand the noble art of turning to every wind.
  Heinrich Heine

en Death to a godly man is like a fair gale of wind to convey him to the heavenly country; but to a wicked man it is an east wind, a storm, a tempest, that hurries him away in confusion and amazement, to destruction.
  Charles Hodge

en Most storm damage is usually concentrated in one area, but with this wind storm, we had debris all over the entire length of the line. The damage and disruption was widespread.

en What we're trying to do is get repeated fixes through the center of the storm to see what's happening to the pressure field -- is it dropping, or is it filling -- and to map out the wind field all the way around the storm, concentrating on the areas that will impact land.

en [A canopy over the entrance of the Biloxi Regional Medical Center was torn off by the wind.] We just laid down to try to get some sleep when the storm forces came through and it really ripped that canopy, ... You wouldn't believe the wind that came through here.

en The storm was raging. The sea was beating against the rocks in huge, dashing waves. The lightning was flashing, the thunder was roaring, the wind was blowing; but the little bird was sound asleep in the crevice of the rock, its head tucked serenely under its wing. That is peace -- to be able to sleep in the storm! In Christ, we are relaxed and at peace in the midst of the confusions, bewilderments, and perplexities of this life. The storm rages, but our hearts are at rest. We have found peace -- at last!
  Billy Graham

en The 20th century has been a century of bloodshed. The present century, because of our past experience, should be a century of peace. The new shapers of the planet are you, the young children.

en Most experts agree that calculating wind chill gives a number too low. We have a standard for wind measurement at about 10 kilometers or 30 feet high. It's good for aviation use but it overestimates the wind speed. The wind down below is lighter (slower) than the wind at that height.
