Andrew to carve swath through Florida
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Hurricane Andrew surged relentlessly toward southern Florida yesterday, and forecasters warned it would be the most powerful storm to hit the United States in decades. More than 1 million residents were told to flee.
The hurricane ripped into the Bahamas yesterday with 120 mph winds, heavy rain and surging tide. The outlying eastern islands of Abaco and Eleuthera were hit first. There were four reported deaths.
At 1 a.m. the center of the hurricane was about 60 miles east of Miami.
"It's on a dead course for South Florida. Thoped I would never experience this," said Bob Sheets, director of the National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables. "We've not seen anything like this in the past few decades."
Florida Gov. Lawton Chiles issued a state of emergency and activated National Guard forces as Andrew grew to a Category 4 storm, the same as Hurricane Hugo in 1989, with winds of 150 mph.
Only two known Category 5 hurricanes have hit the United States: Hurricane Camille, which devastated the Mississippi coast in 1969, killing 256 people, and the 1953 Labor Day hurricane, Florida Keys and killed 405 people.
near 25.4 north latitude and 79.3 west longitude.
winds topping 155 mph — as it crossed the Gulf Stream to Florida.
The governor's emergency declaration allowed the mandatory evacuation of more than 1 million people and put the National Guard and other emergency state agencies on alert.
Warnings that Andrew could be stronger than Hurricane Hugo, which left 85 people dead and $5.9 billion in
damage as it swept through the Caribbean and into the Carolinas, electrified an already tense atmosphere in the densely populated strip from Miami to Palm Beach County.
Residents rushed to secure their homes, harmming up makeshift plywood shutters if they did not have hurricane awnings, moving boats out the Miami River or pulling them out of the water.
Panic buying hit grocery and home-supply stores, money machines were emptied and motorists lined up for gas and headed inland.

Some students are not happy with the way the racks are situated.
KU students wanting to park their bikes at the Kansas Union may be wondering where the bike racks are.
Renovation of the building temporarily has removed one set of racks and relocated the other to the north side lawn of the Union, just off Jayhawk Boulevard.
"The way they have them here is like they stacked them to be out of the way," said Carla Dykenan-Berkich, Wellington graduate student.
"ay could have very easily just put to a. in further down on the grass," she said.
Dykeman-Berkich said the type of ke rack made the parking situation en worse.
She said some of the racks were placed too closely together and were not accessible because of a pine tree's 'low-hanging branches.
"They're just not very heavy-duty ke racks," she said. "It's not a real place to lock up your bike."
but by parking the bike that way,
meone could steal the bike frame
d back tire, Dykeman-Berkich said.
she locks her bike frame to the
kick, taking up three to four other
aces. She estimated that the bike
accommodated 12 bikes when
sked safely.
The racks are designed for the front e to sit between two metal bars, owing the bicycleist to fasten the tire the rack with a lock.
The new racks, popular at other locations across campus, consist of etal bars that stand 30 to 32 inches and 2 feet long, Beard said. A bicycle can park a bike on either side of the racks, which form a frame and one or three tails to the rack.
University policy states that no objects may obstruct access to a building. Since signs at the handrails here posted instructing people to stand at the temporary location, people have been using the beard. Said said
One set of racks, accommodating 30 likes, will be available when stage of Phase II is completed, probably around Oct. 1, Beard said. The racks will be at the southeast corner f the Union. Another set of racks will be available in May of 1993 at the north corner.
The Union purchased the bar racks
deter people from locking their
likes to the handrails at the building's
entryways, Beard said.
He did not expect lack of parking to a problem with the new racks that ill be provided when renovation is completed, he said. They should accommodate about 60 bikes and are fter than the racks that have been at ie Union.
