Nuclear shelter activated as blizzard command post
A $300000 civil defense shelter built in 1971 near Worthington, Ohio, was activated as a state emergency command post to coordinate blizzard response. Gov. Rhodes ordered activation of the Ohio Disaster Services Agency Emergency Operations Center, with 100 people at the site and 50 to 60 on duty. The center focuses on communications as snowbound highways strand motorists and cut power to thousands, while Red Cross, patrol, and transportation officials organize aid.

Cribbage and TV aboard trapped ore carrier in Lake Erie
A ship carrying iron ore pellets is trapped in western Lake Erie as winds reach 111 mph. Crew of 31 on the J. Burton Ayers huddle on deck and below for safety while awaiting rescue from ice and high seas near Pelee Passage. Captain Delmar Webster explains the treacherous conditions and limited rations as Coast Guard Northwind plans to break the ice. The captain’s son aboard another ship was evacuated after an injury. Winter navigation runs above normal as ships try to recover from strikes last year.
