MINUSTAH Communications Exercise in Les Cayes toSave Haitian Lives

The MINUSTAH military completed its first joint communications exercise since the January 12 earthquake at the Uruguayan Battalion 1 located in Les Cayes, Haiti on July 10, 2010. The exercise was designed to provide the MINUSTAH Force Commander, Maj. Gen. Paul Cruz, with a multi-dimensional environment using aviation, maritime and ground assets. The weeklong exercise tested the VH, HF, UHF communication systems, as well as the proficiency of MINUSTAH’s most junior personnel in using these systems. Communication system play a vital role in helping to ensure the MINUSTAH military carry out the mandate to provide a safe, secure and peaceful environment. First-rate communications are crucial in the management of any type of man-made or natural disaster, or any in-country emergency to include earthquakes, mudslides and floods. The countries performing in the exercise included Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. Story by Lt. Cmdr. Karen E. Eifert of the MINUSTAH Military Public Information Office.

Hurricane Katrina (High Quality) – Coral Gables, Florida – August 25, 2005

Between August 23rd and 30th, 2005 Hurricane Katrina, became the 11th named storm, fifth hurricane, third major hurricane and second Category Five hurricane of the record-shattering 2005 season. Katrina also has the infamous distinction of being both the costliest natural disaster, as well as one of the top five deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history.

On August 23rd an area of disturbed weather associated with a tropical wave became better organized over the western Bahamas and was classified Tropical Depression 12, while moving west-northwest towards the Florida east coast. The following morning, the depression reached Tropical Storm strength and was named Katrina. Turning towards the west, the storm began to intensify steadily and reached hurricane strength a few hours prior to reaching the Florida coast.

Katrina made landfall at Golden Beach, Florida (near Miami) as a minimal Category One hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (70kts) and a minimum central pressure of 984 mb (29.06 in).

From the evening of August 25th through the early morning hours of the 26th, storm chaser Michael Laca intercepted Hurricane Katrina at Coral Gables, Florida. At my location I encountered sustained winds near 80 mph (70 kts) with peak gusts near 100 mph (85 kts).

Hurricane Katrina produced minimal hurricane condtions across portions of the extreme southern Florida peninsula (from Ft. Lauderdale southward through southern Miami-Dade county), with tropical storm conditions elsewhere across the region and through the Florida Keys. The highest officially reported winds in southeast Florida during Katrina’s passage were 73 mph (63 kts) with a peak gust of 93 mph (81 kts) at Virginia Key (just south of Miami); 70 mph (60 kts) with a peak gust of 88 mph (76 kts) at the Miami WSFO (near Sweetwater) and 60 mph (52 kts) with a peak gust of 82 mph (71 kts) at Fort Lauderdale. Unofficial wind readings include a peak gust of 92 mph (80 kts) at Port Everglades and 97 mph (84 kts) at the Homestead General Airport. The lowest pressures observed in South Florida were 983 mb (29.02 in) from the Miami WSFO and 988 mb (29.17 in) at AOML on Virginia Key. Katrina also produced exceptionally heavy rainfall over southern Miami-Dade county with several locations reporting storm totals between 10-15 inches.

After passing South Florida, Katrina emerged into a very favorable environment over the Gulf of Mexico and strengthened rapidly. By the afternoon of August 28th, Katrina reached its peak intensity with a central pressure of 902 mb (26.64 in) and maximum sustained winds of 175 mph (150 kts). In addition the hurricane’s windfield expanded significantly, nearly doubling in size. After reaching peak intensity, Katrina began to turn towards the north and gradually weaken as it neared landfall across the northern Gulf.

On the morning of August 29th, Hurricane Katrina made landfall near Buras, Louisiana as a high-end Category Three with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph (110 kts) and a minimum central pressure of 920 mb (27.17in). A few hours later, the hurricane made its final landfall near the mouth of the Pearl River, on the Mississippi/Louisiana border with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (105 kts) and a minimum pressure of 928 mb (27.40).

Although the hurricane weakened significantly prior to landfall the storm’s very large windfield, along with the perpendicular approach, and the bathymetry of the northern Gulf coast combined to produce an extremely high storm surge on the east side of the hurricane. Values between 24 – 28 ft (7 – 8.5 m) were observed, devastating virtually all of the vulnerable low-lying Mississippi coastline and sweeping many locations completely clean. On the west side of the storm, the high surge values also resulted in the overtopping, and subsequent failure, of several levees within the New Orleans area, releasing massive flooding in numerous low-lying communities.

Hurricane Katrina’s combined impacts across the affected areas, resulted in a staggering 1,836 direct fatalities (the highest death toll from a U.S. hurricane since the Lake Okeechobee storm of 1928) and $90.1 billion (adjusted) in damage, making Katrina the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history.

After moving inland, Katrina maintained hurricane strength for nearly 150 miles (240 KM) inland. The storm was eventually absorbed into a frontal boundary over the eastern Great Lakes on September 31st.

Quake hits Papua New Guinea

Earthquakes strike US, Papua New Guinea, Kuril Islands, and Chile. Early on Wednesday, August 4, a magnitude-6.4 tremor shook the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska, USA. On Thursday morning, a powerful 7.0-magnitude temblor rocked the New Britain region of Papua New Guinea. Centered in a remote mountainous region 145 kilometers east of Kandrian, the quake caused panic among island residents. Soon after, another strong quake measuring 6.0 on the Richter scale occurred east of the Kuril Islands, 423 kilometers northeast of Kurilsk. In Chile also on Thursday, three underwater earthquakes of magnitudes 5.7, 5.2, and 4.7, respectively, triggered alarm among locals of the Biobío Region as they struck between 15 and 40 kilometers northeast of Lebu City, resulting in temporary power loss for some 20,000 people. However, there were fortunately no injuries or significant damage reported from this or the other earth-shaking events.

While we are grateful for the safety of all the residents, we pray that such disruptions may quickly be curbed as we join in gentler, eco-stabilizing actions.
