Indiana faced a devastating blizzard with at least nine deaths and thousands stranded in shelters as road crews launched a massive cleanup. About 2,400 people sought safety in armories while 800 National Guardsmen focused on life saving work and Amtrak passengers found shelter in Bainbridge. President Carter declared an emergency area and federal aid was arranged to reopen routes and support utilities amid widespread damage and looting reports.
