Big Bertha heads for Bahamas
The Associated Press
NASSAU, Bahamas — Swirling its 460-mile-wide mass out of the Caribbean, Hurricane Bertha picked up force yesterday and headed for the Bahamas, leaving in its wake rooftops homes, uprooted telephone poles and at least four people dead.
Meteorologists said the storm was expected to curve away from the U.S. mainland into the Atlantic Ocean and probably wouldn't hit the Bahamas directly.
But because of Bertha's tremendous size — 460 miles around — and 115-mph winds, National Weather Service officials in San Juan, Puerto Rico, said Bertha would probably hit the islands with tropical force-force winds and maybe winds of hurricane force.
Jerry Jarrell, deputy director of the U.S. Hurricane Center in Miami, said, "This is a huge storm — it's more like Hugo in '89 or Gilbert in '88."
Bertha's winds increased to 115 mph early yesterday, making it a Category 3 storm capable of extensive damage. Three people died in storm-related accidents in Puerto Rico, and one person died in the Virgin Islands.
Hurricane warnings were in effect yesterday for the Turks and Caicos Islands, eastern Cuba and the southeast and central Bahamas, 250 miles east of Florida. By 6 p.m., CDT.
Bertha was 110 miles north and northwest of the Turks Island and was moving northwest at 17 mph. Bertha brushed by Puerto Rico Monday and passed the Turks and Caicos islands yesterday, teasing them with harmless rain showers and gusty winds.
In Puerto Rico, Coast Guard officers were searching for a crippled boat with as many as 42 people aboard. The boat radioed Monday that it was in the eye of the hurricane and passengers were jumping into the water. Coast Guard officials said there was no sign of the boat yesterday afternoon.
Knight-Ridder Tribune
Hours earlier than expected,
Bertha drenched the southernmost
of the 700 islands in the Bahamas
archipelago yesterday afternoon.
Further south at Great Inagua, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter regiment based there evacuated on Monday afternoon. The helicopters were flown to Guantanamo Base in Cuba for safety.
Further northwest in the Bahamas, people batted down their homes, nailed plywood over windows, stocked up on food and water and packed clothing to take to hurricane shelters.
Marcia Kemp, a spokeswoman for San Salvador Island's administration, said Club Med's Columbus Isle resort
was evacuating hundreds of guests.
Carter Williams, owner of the island's Riding Rock Inn, said San Salvador's marina, usually filled with luxury, emptied overnight with news of Berta. Williams had not decided whether to evacuate his 30 guests, virtual hostages to the storm because they were scuba divers needing at least another 24 hours to adjust to pressure changes before flying.
In Bertha's wake, residents of northeastern Caribbean islands took stock of the damage: electricity and telephone poles uprooted or hanging, tree trunks blocking roads, power outages and houses with ripped-off roofs.
Yet many islanders were relieved that they did not suffer like they did last year in the worst Atlantic storm season in 60 years.
Anna Petersen, 84, surveyed the mud flooding her St. Thomas apartment and tempered her despair with the memory of Hurricane Marilyn's destruction nine months ago.
"The wind came through and took everything," she said, "but it could have been a lot worse."
Netanyahu talks peace with Clinton
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told President Clinton yesterday that he will give no ground in Middle East peacemaking unless terrorism is halted and Israel's security is bolstered.
"Those who are on the side of peace must show complete dedication to the fight against terrorism," Netanyahu said. "Anything less will simply not do. Israel is eager to make peace but we cannot do so alone."
Netanyahu made clear he is not ready to meet with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. He showed no interest in pursuing the land-for peace maxim that has guided Middle East peacemaking. And he would not commit to withdrawing Israeli troops from Hebron, where 450 Israelis live among 94,000 Arabs.
On another sensitive point, Netanyahu refused to lift restrictions that have prevented thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip from working in Israel.
On Syria, Netanyahu said he would reopen negotiations only if Damascus stopped supporting terrorists.
For his part, Clinton declared there was no alternative to the peace process, saying, "We need to keep the tide of history going."
Yet, recognizing the sea of change in the Middle East after Netanyahu's May 29 election, Clinton said, "I think we're going to have, necessarily, a period of adjustment, and those of us who care about it need to try to minimize the negative and maximize the positive and get through it as well as possible."
The trip to Washington was Netanyahu's first abroad as prime minister and was viewed as crucial in setting the tone for relations with Clinton.
Peacemaking in the Middle East and in other global hot spots has been a cornerstone of Clinton's foreign policy and a central theme in his re-election campaign. Clinton — as well as Arab leaders — worry that Netanyahu's hard-line views put a cloud over peacemaking efforts.
