Wind Plays Pranks
During Big Storm
A boat took to the air, a
Jeep to the water, an amphi

and a dog was blown into the
channel last Saturday as high
winds rocked and swayed the (
town of Kodiak.
Gusts reaching a recorded
velocity of 90 knots blew salt
water spray on electric lines
and transformers and covered
Marine Way with a heavy
coating of slush.

careening along with the wind
as residents attempted to
batten down all movable ob
jects. After a temporary lull
of 48 hours the wind returned
Wednesday night for another
round with the battered town.
A roof from a cannery work
ers’ bunk house, owned by
Donnelley and Acheson, blew
off and ripped down power
lines. One section of town was
without power for several
hours. Workmen from the
Kodiak Electric Association
[braved the wind to repair
them.
At the peak of the blow last
Saturday a 12-foot skiff on the
[beach below the sea wall was
picked up by the high swells
and wind and tossed to the
front door of the Magnusen
house at the beach end of
South Mill Bay Road.
U. S. Deputy Marshal Clar
ence Dizney said the skiff,
owned by Glenn Bandy,
sailed up on the wind whipped
swell, over the wall and
landed in the yard.
While the skiff was air
borne a Jeep, belonging to
Dave Henley, which was;
parked near Acting Police I
Chief Ovid McKinley’s house
near the city dock, started
moving seaward on a power
ful wind gust. It went over
the sea wall, cleared a skiff
tied nearby, landed in the
bay, floated for a little while
and sank with only a little of
the top showing.
Mrs. McKinley witnessed
the “launching” from a win
dow of her home. The Jeep
was later removed from its
watery parking place by a
wrecker from Patterson's
Garage.
somewhat shaken after see
ing his first flying skiff Mar
shal Dizney went to his home
near Dumas beach to be in
formed that a three months
old puppy had made a flight
from a nearby cliff and had
landed in the channel.
Dizney went down to the
beach to find a wet and puz
(zled pup. He returned the dog
to its owner. Mrs. Paul Dup
ler, who told Dizney that the
pup was picked up by the
wind and blown into the
water.
Meanwhile, the capricious
wind got under a roof on a
building near Pat Lynch’s
gravel crusher, tossed it into
the air and then scattered it
along the road leading to the
Montmartre Inn.
A plane owned by Bob Hall
is reported to have been blown
from the beach up into the
road leading past his hangar.
The plane was not damaged.
Carpenter crews at Kodiak
Naval Station were out during
the week repairing wind
damage. The Navy declined
to comment on the extent of
the damage. Too much un
favorable publicity lately was
the reason given for not re
leasing a report.
