Daisy Due to Pass Off Cape, Bringing High Tides, Winds Weather Bureau report* yester day stated that D*iay, the hurri cane which has been progressing northward since the beginning of the week, would pass off Cape liatteras late yesterday. Warnings of gale winds were run up from Morehead City to Cape Henry, Va.t yesterday. Small craft frooi Georgia to New Jersey were warned to stay close to pro tected harbors, and large vessels in the line of the storm path were warned to exercise extreme cau tion. Tides along the central Carolina coast were predicted to be 2 to 4 feet above normal, especially in Pamlico Sound. The worst flood ing were expected at high tides in this area. 7:50 p.m. last night and 8:15 this morning. The storm comes at full moon when tides, especially in the fall, are always higher than normal. Moves Faster Daisy had picked up momentum Wednesday and yesterday morn ing was traveling north northeast at 20 miles an hour. Her po&ition yesterday noon was about 100 miles sotuheast of Cape liatteras. Storms are nol totally predict able, and until the storm actually gets out to sea, past Hattcras, weather advisories always urge coastal residents to be alert to a possible change of direction in land. Wind velocity, as the storm neared Carteret, was expected to be between 3ft and 50 miles aa hour on the coast. According to the Beaufort scale of wind force, velocity as to 38 miles aq hour |s "strong". U puts "large branches in motion, whistl ing is heard in telegraph wires", and closer to the 38 velocity, whole trees are in motion and it's diffi cult to walk against the wind. Gale winds are & to 54 miles an hour. They cause slight structural damage, such as shingles blown ?ff and perhaps weak chimneys blown over, or branches broken from trees. Bill Moore, Atlantic Beach police chief, said a few cottage ownfrs had left the beach, but yesterday "most were staying to see what would happen". Beach Prepares The beach Civil Defense officials held an emergency meeting Tuaa day night and mapped plans for action in case Daisy caused a lot of trouble. Life lines have been taken In from the bathing beach, lifeguard stands, and other portable struc tures have been moved. Chief Meore asks that sightseers not flock to the beach. Should there be any damage, no one will be admitted to the beach area unless his car has a CD decal identifying the driver of the car as a beach property owner. Rather than impair shrimping, the storm seems to have helped catches. Shrimpers made goad h?ul? Wednesday and were work ing offshore yesterday. G'aroliaa Power and Light Co. u well as Carteret -Craven Elec tric had crews on staadhy ia case Dally caused pow*r trouble. Hurricane - wis* families had stocked on candies, matches, ?lira flashlight batteries and those With electric pump* had drawn extra supplies of water Car* were also filled with gas, a precaution against power failure making it impassible for gas sta tions, with their electric pump*, to dispense gas. The sun cam* out yesterday morning for the first time in sev eral days, but the occasional rays of sunshine did not Imal weather wise coastal dwellers. They were battening their hatches for a blow. Generator Lent Sent to Morehead City Hospital yeaterday by Cherry Point Marine base was an emergency generator The generator was set up for use in case the regular xource of power should fail during the storm. R. M. Williams, county farm agent, reported yesterday that most of the tobacco in the county has been harvested and little was left in the fields to be damaged by high winds. Crops that might suffer in a heavy storm, he added, were corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans, peanuts, as well as home gardens. Disaster Chairman Asks Families To Prepare to Care for Themselves Glenn Adair, Red Cross disaster chairman for the county, advised persons to plan to take care of themselves during a hurricane and not depend on public shelters. This means that families should have food on hand that does not need cooking, as well as medicines and other supplies so that trips need not be made to the drug itore at the height of a storm. Mr. Adair says that schools will not be used in case of a bad storm. When the power goes off, water cannot be pumped and sanitary fa cilities are useless. Drinking water, of course, is not available in the schools then, either. In case Atlantic Beach and Sal ter Path have to be evacuated, evacuees will use the Morehead City Municipal building, where Mrs. Leonard Lewis, public health nurse, will be in charge. Evacuees are urged, however, to bring their own sandwiches, bev erages, and blankets to help ease the problem of caring for a large number of persons in a limited area. Mr. Adair says that if the fol lowing steps are taken, coastal residents can minimize the loss of life and property: 1. Read newspapers and listen to radios for official Weather Bureau hurricane reports. 2. Store garden furniture, tools, awnings, garbage and rubbish cans, and other loose objects in a safe place. Such items could be come lethal weapons in a storm. 3. Board up windows and put storm shutters into place. 4. If you are told to evacuate, don't delay. Just get out and fol low instructions ? a minute could save your life. 5. Don't run the risk of being marooned. Get away and stay away from low-lying land, beaches or other places likely to be swept by high winds and tides. 6. Don't go outside during the storm. Stay indoors, preferably in a brick or concrete building. 7. Stay away from windows. 8. If the center or "eye" of the storm passes directly overhead, there will be a deceptive lull, last ing for as long as 30 minutes. Stay where you are during this calm period. The wind will return from the opposite direction ? perhaps with greater force. 9. Fill bathtub, bottles and cook ing utensils with water. Keep ex tra food (which does not require cooking) handy. Be sure to have a flashlight or candles handy to use in the event of power failure. 10. Don't touch fallen wires. Re port such damage to police or pow er companies. Mr. Adair said one death-dealing tropical storm struck the US last year ? Audrey. Audrey, roared out of the Gulf of Mexico June 27, across Louisi ana, leaving 371 known dead. A total of 23,788 houses were dam aged and 1,316 destroyed. On this operation the Red Cross spent $2,694,143 to provide mass care to 70,0tt) persons and long term assistance to 3,343 families.
