Flooding continues; relief may be in sight
The Associated Press
Thunderstorms, some with heavy rains and strong, gusty winds, moved through parts of western and southwestern Kansas early yesterday. Showers were also reported in the central portion of the state, and forecasters issued an overnight flood watch for that region.
Pea-size hail, heavy rain and gusts of winds at 55 miles per hour were reported in Hamilton County, west of Syracuse, on Monday night.
Scattered thunderstorms are possible again in the north tonight, but then little or no rain is likely in the state the rest of the week, giving some relief from the long siege of wet weather that has caused severe flooding problems in some areas.
Efforts to recover from the flooding continued on a number of fronts Monday, with Gov. Joan Finney issuing a disaster emergency proclamation for Wyandotte County.
Sen. Bob Dole asked Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy for disaster aid in Kansas, saying as many as 55 counties have suffered from the rain.
The rain was enough to make streams rise again in central Iowa, where flooding had begun to recede after Sunday's record levels, threatening efforts to restore drinking water to more than 250,000 people in Des Moines and its suburbs.
"This is an extremely dangerous situation," the National Weather Service
Officials asked 3,500 people in West Des Moines and nearby areas of Des Moines to evacuate — the same 3,500 asked to leave Sunday.
"Mother Nature did not deal us a very favorable hand today." West Des Moines Mayor Dino Rodish said. "We've got a critical situation."
Along Missouri's section of the Mississippi River, all or parts of river towns from Alexandria, near the Iowa line, to Cape Girardeau in southeast Missouri — some 250 miles — have been hit. An estimated 15,000 people were out of their homes.
President Bill Clinton said he would visit the region today.
About 6,500 National Guard members were on duty in Iowa, Illinois and Missouri, where some 30,000 people were flooded out of their homes.
The flooding was linked to at least 19 deaths, 13 in Missouri. The Red Cross said more than 7,600 homes were damaged or destroyed in Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois.
Earthquake in Japan leaves at least 65 dead
OKUSHIRI Japan — Weeping villagers searched for missing relatives yesterday after an earthquake slammed tidal waves into coasts as far away as Russia and South Korea. The Monday quake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale killed at least 65 people on Okushiri, a small island in the Sea of Japan.
NATION/ WORLD BRIEFSE
Ashes smoldered in the remains of hundreds of wooden houses destroyed by fire and waves on the island. A house, one of many washed away by tidal waves, could be seen floating out to sea.
"This is terrible and it is so sad," said Japan's Prime Minister Kichi Miyazawa, who traveled to the stricken region.
Police said 65 people in the region were killed. 82 were missing and 72 were injured. Kyodo News Service reported 71 dead and 169 missing.
On nearby Hokkaido, Japan's third most populous island, tidal waves more than 12 feet high smashed villages, buckled roads and sucked cars out to sea with some occupants thought to be still inside.
In Russia, three people were reported missing after tidal waves up to 16 feet high washed ashore in Nakhdokha, near Vladivostok, a civil defense official told the Interfax news agency.
Hussein's refusal may result in attack by U.S.
Wednesday, July 14, 1993
The Security Council president says Iraq is "playing with fire" by not cooperating with U.N. weapons inspectors, and a senior U.N. envoy is heading to Iraq to drive that point home.
Rolf Keke, chairman of the U.N. commission on Iraq's weapons, prepared to leave New York for Baghdad yesterday, giving Saddam Hussein a final warning that he is risking a U.S. military attack by not cooperating.
Russia gave its strong backing yesterday, urging Iraq in a Foreign statement to "put an end without delay to its tactics of evasion" with the U.N. Security Council."
Iraq was one of the Soviet Union's main allies in the Middle East until former President Mikhail Gorbachev ended the Kremlin's confrontational stance toward the West and joined U.N. sanctions against several nations.
Security Council diplomats made clear the United Nations may have to destroy two rocket test sites near Baghdad if Iraq persists in preventing U.N. inspectors from installing video monitors there.
President Bill Clinton said he would leave the issue up to the United Nations for now.
