Part of the roof was torn off by thc AO -mile -an -how winds. They didn't know wheth- er the whole„thing would blow away. And Mr. Jones, a lcadhand for ARC Structural Concrete, a division of Armstrong 13ros, here , can appreciate that. The hurricane ripped out, abaut 10 of the 12-incli con- crete double -T slabs from .the roof of. the one -storey building. The adults pushed the children beneath the .navy stake trucks inside the warehouse, fearing the Oinds would force other slabs through the gaping holes, left'by the fallen masonry. None FORTUNATE ONES ' There were 1,500 men, wo- men and children huddled in- side that warehotse besides the Joneses. They were the fortun- ate ones who responded to radio alarms to seek shelter from their frame ham& before the storm struck. Many others did not' heed the warning. Thcy were killed, injured, or they. miraculously escaped,. . To the Joneses, it is a mir- acle they are back safe at their ho•mt in Inglewood. 'It's the home..they would not have left Abgust 14 if they had been warn- ed.what to expect when they reached the Gulfport navalbase, home of Mr. Jones' father. . • LESS FORTUNATE' The Joneses arrived in Gulf- port Saturday afternoon and heard the,first hiirricane .warn- ing over the local radio, at 6 p.m. The warnings continued all night, advising residents to • take shelter and to fill their tubs with fresh water for an . They took refuge inthe.ware- ' house Sunday afternoon, and the full fury .of 'Camille struck at 8 , winds took. their toll, but the navy building stood irs ground. Less fortunate were the many frame houses on the base and a large frame army warehouse, bloWn to smithereens by the storm. Two thOusand soldiers fled to safety in other quarters. Five of them were killed on the way. TOO LATE Two other large navy ware- houses.stood vacant nearby dur- ing the hurricane because resi- dents had.not taken advantage of them. By the time Camille struck, it was too late. The 1, 500 persons in th e *warehouse existed on sliced meat, cheese and lots of milk for the children: When • that ran out, they were issued navy rations by the staff in the build- ing. The food ran out Monday af- ternoon, but by that time, the storm was leaving Gulfport and. cutting a 100 -mile -wide swath in land frbm NeW Orleans to Mobile, Alabama. When Mr. and Mrs. Jones and their children were finally able to venture outside t h e warehouse, a bout 6 p. m.• Mon- day they were met by scenes of destruction resembling battle: - fields, RATHER VIETNAM . , Servicemen just back from Viet Nam told Mr. Jones they would rather'go to the war-torn country again than facc another hurricane like Camille. "We would never have, gone down there if we had advance • warning of what to expect, " he said yesterday. "My advice to 'any future travellers would be te), turn straight round and go back home once they hear of a hurricane. " When they left, military teams were still bulldozing out bodies. 71 don't think they'll ever find all the bodies... sojne arc buried under three feet of sand on the beach, washed up by 20 - foot tides during the hurricane," said Mr. Jones. They lost a baby stroller and most of their clothes for getting hack to Brampton. His father lost his home and, at last count, at least 2 30,,per- sons were known dead and the total may reach 1,000. Damage has been set at around $1 -billion and officials are estimating it will take years to rebuild after the disaster.
