Winds Kill Five Across the Southland in Fire and Dust
Galeforce winds and dust blasted Southern California killing five people, including Vandenberg Air Force Base officials Col. Joseph E. Turner and fire chiefs Billy J. Bell and Eugene G. Cooper. A brush fire scorched over 1,000 acres, damaged structures near Bakersfield, and prompted disaster area talk for Arvin as gusts up to 90 mph hampered containment. The blast also caused highway closures and a store roof collapse while rain was forecast to ease the dust.
