Mississippi twister carves long path of wreckage

  • Associated Press
February 11, 2013
The historic Ogletree Alumni House on the University of Southern Mississippi campus shows heavy damage Monday, the day after an evening tornado ripped through the University of Southern Mississippi and surrounding areas in Hattiesburg, Miss. - Associated Press

HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Jeff Revette ran from his car and lay face-down in the grass next to the red-brick wall of a church as a tornado roared toward him, with debris scattering and electrical transformers exploding. Twenty seconds later, bricks were strewn across a flattened pickup truck a mere 10 feet away amid toppled trees and power lines.

Revette, a 43-year-old National Guard soldier who returned from a deployment to Afghanistan about a year ago, stood up unharmed. A woman who had been driving the smashed pickup and had taken cover near him was pinned by some insulation and other debris, but she was OK after Revette lifted the wreckage off her.

“It’s just amazing,” he said. “God is real. I am one blessed man.”

The powerful twister tore a path across at least three counties, injuring more than 60 people – but residents marveled that no one died. Officials said several circumstances converged to ensure no lives were lost in what should have been a deadly storm: Sirens and TV broadcasts gave people as much as 30 minutes of warning; the University of Southern Mississippi was emptier than usual because of Mardi Gras; and most businesses were either closed or quiet because it was a Sunday.

Forecasters were able to closely track where the storm was headed and had confirmed reports from both people on the ground and from radar, making it easier to give warning, said weather service meteorologist Chad Entremont.

The sheer scope of the damage made it difficult to do a full assessment. Some 50 roads were closed at one point because of felled trees, downed power lines and debris. About 200 homes and mobile homes were damaged or destroyed, with another 100 apartments left uninhabitable. Several thousand remained without power, though the electricity was expected to be restored to most customers later Monday, Gov. Phil Bryant said.

Bryant said the twister carved a path of destruction roughly 75 miles long, though National Weather Service officials have not yet determined the tornado’s exact path or how long it was on the ground. However, early indications show it was an EF3 tornado with wind speeds reaching 145 mph in parts of Hattiesburg, Entremont said.

This twister was part of a storm cell moving faster than usual, meaning it was likely to cover more ground. Many tornadoes travel just a few miles, Entremont said.

While more tornadoes were not in the forecast, heavy rain was expected into Tuesday. And that could make cleanup efforts even more difficult, said National Weather Service meteorologist Brad Bryant in Jackson, Miss.

On Monday, rain seemed to be adding to the misery as people tried to put tarps over leaky roofs and move belongings to dry ground. Chainsaws could be heard around Hattiesburg as people tried to cut up trees that fell onto homes. Crews were removing debris, but flooding and blocked roads hampered their work.

John Cline was among those trying to salvage his already damaged home as he worked to find a way to shut off a broken pipe filling his house with water. A massive pine tree about 4 feet around split his home nearly in two.

Cline had just gotten home from work Sunday when he turned on the news and realized the tornado was headed his way. He said he opened the back door and could hear the roar, so he ran to a closet in the hallway. He said it wasn’t long before the tree came crashing through the ceiling and landed about 3 feet to his right. He struggled to keep the closet door closed because the wind kept pulling it open.

“I was fighting the tornado,” he said.

On the USM campus, trees were snapped in half around the heavily damaged Alumni House, where part of the roof was ripped away. Windows in a nearby building were blown out, and heavy equipment worked to clear streets nearby in a heavy rain after the worst of the weather had passed.

The university was under a state of emergency and told people to stay away from campus until further notice.

Dot Peek had just arrived home about five minutes before the tornado hit and huddled in her bedroom with her son, adult grandson and other relatives. That bedroom was the only room not substantially damaged by falling trees and debris. The rest of the home was a wreck. Peek’s truck was smashed; boards and debris floated in her swimming pool; a tree crushed her pontoon boat.

Peek heeded the warning of sirens, saying “they don’t go off for nothing. But people who don’t pay attention to them are stupid.”

However, when asked if it was the alarms that saved her family, Peek shook her head and replied: “It’s God. My grandson was praying as loud as he could.”

TRUCKEE, Calif. A sharp increase in bear-human conflicts this summer is prompting a bear advocacy group to consider backcountry food drops for the animals at Lake Tahoe.

Ann Bryant, executive director of the Lake Tahoe-based BEAR League, said her group is seeking permission from the California Department of Fish and Game to use food to lure bears away from developed areas.

A lack of precipitation has led to a shortage of natural food, forcing bruins into towns in search of human food. A record 20 bears have died after being hit by vehicles in the Lake Tahoe area so far this year.

“We are going to do backcountry food drops, putting natural food back into the backcountry,” Bryant told Truckee’s Sierra Sun newspaper. “We have hundreds and hundreds of pounds of food we plan to put in several locations that won’t bring the bears near neighborhoods.”

Bryant said similar programs have been successful in other states, including Alaska and Montana.

Jason Holley, a biologist for the state wildlife agency, agreed that a scarcity of food is driving bears into populated areas. But feeding bears runs contrary to the department’s policy, he said.

“It’s an unnatural situation that forces bears to congregate. Who knows what long-term problems that could create,” Holley said. “If the smell of people is on the food, they could be more likely to associate people with food in the future, and they could become more susceptible to hunters.”

He said no real solution may exist and residents instead must maintain vigilance.

“It’s just a bad situation, but people should keep doing the usual things, like proper food and garbage storage, securing their homes, having pets with you,” Holley said.

In addition to keeping bears away from urban areas, Bryant said backcountry food drops would improve the animals’ health by providing better nutrition.

“The bears are so hungry they are coming into people’s homes, so we hope to get permission to do this – if not just for the bears, for homeowners, too,” Bryant said.

EL MODENA – A 44-year-old man has been accused of a sex act in front of a 2-year-old boy, and authorities today are asking for the public’s help in identifying more victims.

Tach Van Truong pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of indecent exposure and annoying or molesting a child. Authorities allege Truong was touching himself in front of a 2-year-old boy who was playing outside his home on Sept 23.

Officials with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said a similar incident occurred on Sept. 19, and are releasing his picture in hopes of identifying any other victims.

“The behavior is so strange and deviant, it is possible there may be other victims,” said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Sheriff’s Department.

On Sept. 23, deputies were called to the 18800 block of E. Vine Avenue after a mother allegedly saw him touching himself in front of her son, Amormino said.

Truong was allegedly standing in front of his home, across the street from the child, he said. The mother called a male friend, who chased Truong as he ran back to his home.

“We have been told he has done this in at least one other occasion,” Amormino said.

The previous incident, which was not reported to deputies at the time, occurred Sept. 19, Amormino said. That victim was also 2 years old.

Truong is currently in custody in lieu of $30,000 bail.

Anyone with information is asked to contact authorities at 1-866-TIP-OCSD or 1-866-847-6273.

Plans for the Ortega Highway/I-5 interchange
Plans for the Ortega Highway/I-5 interchange

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO – The City Council is being asked to accept a presentation Tuesday from a city’s “aesthetics team” as it relates to working with Caltrans to consider three primary aesthetics concerns for the I-5 and Ortega Highway interchange as plans move forward.

Caltrans has approved the preferred interchange project alternative, certified an environmental impact report and has completed 35 percent of the design to include a reconfigured Del Obispo Street intersection and partial cloverleaf interchange, according to a city staff report.

No additional environmental analysis is needed for a $57.5 million single-cloverleaf interchange at the location that ranks as one of the worst choke points in Orange County, Caltrans has said. The project would mostly be funded by Measure M dollars – the county’s half-cent sales tax.

The City Council last year selected the same alternative as Caltrans. After considering the options, the council selected “Alternative 3” primarily as a stimulus to create energy in San Juan Capistrano’s downtown and relieve congestion near the interchange, the city said.

The city formed an “aesthetics team” made up of four city staff members, two planning commissioners and one design review committee member to identify aesthetic issues. City staff has met with Caltrans six times to review project aesthetics, the report said.

Caltrans has agreed to work with the city to consider three primary aesthetics concerns related to the bridge, retaining walls and landscaping and asked for city input by July 1, according to a city staff report.

“The Aesthetics Team has conveyed to Caltrans the need to maintain the unique character of San Juan Capistrano, provide an aesthetically pleasing entry to the historic downtown area, provide simple but neat and clean improvements, reduce massing, maximize landscaping, and blend landscape and hardscape areas to not attract undue attention,” the staff report said.

Caltrans has agreed to certain aesthetics considerations, but has opposed others, the report said.

Included among items on the city team’s “wish list” are: No overdone design features, such as “Godzilla swallows,” blue fence, etc, protect pine trees in front of Forster Mansion, no lighting on bridge (signal lighting will suffice), provide bike lane delineation on the bridge, according to the staff report.

The council is being asked to give comments and direction to city staff to forward to Caltrans.

The council meets at 6:30 p.m. at 32400 Paseo Adelanto. See the full agenda at

    Pope Francis holds a general audience with members of the media in the Nervi Hall. The newly elected Pope is set to deliver his first Angelus prayers tomorrow (March 17) March and be inaugurated with a mass in Saint Peter's Square Tue., March 19.

  • Pope Francis waves to journalists attending his first public audience.

    Pope Francis waves to journalists attending his first public audience.

VATICAN CITY – As a person of faith, the work I do as a journalist is more than just a job. To me it is both a vocation (in the spiritual sense of that word) and, in some sense, a ministry.

But I’m all too aware that not everyone would agree that journalists fulfill any sort of higher calling.

Happily, on Saturday I learned that Pope Francis is not one of them.

“Rest assured that the Church, for her part, is very attentive to your precious work,” the new pope told a papal audience for several hundred members of the media in the legendary Paul VI audience hall adjacent to St. Peter’s Basilica.

My goodness, how lovely to hear that, particularly from the leader of a worldwide church that has seen its worst sins recounted on the front pages of newspapers around the globe.

“Like many other professions, your job requires study, sensitivity and experience. But it bears with it a particular attention to truth, goodness and beauty,” the pontiff continued. “This makes us particularly close because the church exists to communicate truth, goodness, and beauty ‘in person’. It should be clear that we are all called, not to communicate ourselves, but rather … truth, goodness, and beauty.”

Seated in a high-backed chair on the hall’s stage, Papa Francesco, as he is known in Rome, exuded genuine warmth and appeared at ease with his new role — and in his own skin. His natural sense of humor bubbled over several times during his address when he put aside prepared remarks to spontaneously share a personal story or a funny aside.

“The role of the mass media has been continuously growing in recent times, so much so that it has become essential to narrate the events of contemporary history to the world. I therefore especially thank you for your distinguished service these past few days — you have had a bit of work to do, haven’t you?” the smiling pontiff said, drawing laughter and applause from the crowd of weary media creatures.

Many members of the global media – including the journalist and former California First Lady Maria Shriver, seated inconspicuously a few rows behind me with her youngest son, Christopher – took seriously the pope’s invitation to bring friends and family with them to the audience. As Francis talked, a curious toddler wandered quietly in the aisle, while a baby girl whose journalist father had carried her into the grand hall in a kangaroo carrier strapped to his chest, waved toward the smiling Man in White.

It felt not unlike a Sunday morning family mass, but without the incense and kneelers.

Papa Francesco went off script again to answer the question that so many of us have been asking since we were introduced to him on the balcony of the basilica a few days ago: Why did he choose Francis as his papal name?

“Some people didn’t know why the Bishop of Rome wanted to call himself ‘Francis’,” he began. “Some thought of Francis Xavier, Francis de Sales, even Francis of Assisi. I will tell you the story.

“At the election I had the archbishop emeritus of Sao Paulo next to me. He is also prefect emeritus of the Congregation for the Clergy, Cardinal Claudio Hummes [who is a Franciscan) a dear, dear friend,” he said. “When things were getting a little ‘dangerous’, he comforted me. And then, when the votes reached the two-thirds, there was the usual applause because the Pope had been elected. He hugged me and said: ‘Do not forget the poor.’

“And that word stuck here,” Francis said, tapping himself in the forehead with his finger, “the poor, the poor. Then, immediately in relation to the poor, I thought of Francis of Assisi. Then I thought of war… and so the name came to my heart: Francis of Assisi. For me he is the man of poverty, the man of peace, the man who loves and safeguards Creation. In this moment when our relationship with Creation is not so good — right? — he is the man who gives us this spirit of peace, the poor man.”

Then, with an obviously heartfelt sincerity that drew loud applause from the media (who aren’t really supposed to do such things; no cheering in the press box, etc.), the pope added:

“Oh, how I wish for a church that is poor and for the poor!”

A few years ago, Bill Hybels, the founding pastor of the Willow Creek network of evangelical Christian churches, told me that a generation ago, when his church was in its infancy, people wanted to know what was “true.” Nowadays, he said, people yearn for what is “real.”

This papacy is in its infancy, and the media, as well as the rest of the world, is still getting to know him. And yet he already seems to have established himself as utterly authentic.

Papa Francesco may just be the real deal.

Before personally greeting a few dozen members of the media who were invited to approach him on stage – including several prominent Italian journalists who for years have covered the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Vatican – the pope again expressed his thanks for the work we do.

“”I wish the best for you, I thank you for everything that you have done,” he said. “I wish the best for you and your families, for each of your families, and I wholeheartedly impart to all of you the blessing.”

Several journalists, both from the secular and religious media, who had been chosen to greet the pope, shook his hand or kissed his ring. But more than a few threw their arms around the burly 76-year-old, and hugged him.

When he was done with the personal greetings, Pope Francis again spoke to us. There was something he wanted to make sure we understood. Even though he didn’t say the traditional Latin blessing and make the sign of the cross over us, he had, indeed, blessed us.

“Many of you don’t belong to the Catholic Church, others are not believers,” he said in his native Spanish. “From my heart I impart this blessing, in silence, to each of you, respecting the conscience of each one, but knowing that each of you is a child of God: May God bless you.”

There were tears in the eyes of some hardheaded (yet grudgingly tenderhearted) journalists in the room.

And I’m not ashamed to admit I was one of them.

Damian Anthony Reyes Held in Sexual Assault of 8 y.o. Girl After Alleged DNA Match

Someone broke into a home in the 1500 block of North Ross Street in Santa Ana June 29, climbed onto the top bunk where an 8-year-old girl was sleeping, sexually assaulted her and disappeared into the night after the screams of the girl's 13-year-old sister in the bottom bunk awoke their father.

But police claim Damian Anthony Reyes left something behind that led to the Santa Ana 26-year-old's arrest today.

It turns out Reyes has a record for DUI and drug possession, and his DNA was collected during previous stays in jail and rehab.

The Santa Ana Police Department released a sketch of the girl's attacker, but the trail went cold until the Orange County crime database matched DNA left at the scene with Reyes', according to the agency.

His home address is about two miles from the North Ross Street residence. Police do not believe he knew or was related to the victim.

Reyes, who was held in lieu of $1 million bail at Santa Ana City Jail, was booked on suspicion of felony burglary and child molestation. For now, because investigators are trying to determine if he can be linked to other similar crimes. Anyone who believes they may have been a victim is asked to call Orange County Crime Stoppers at 855.TIP.OCCS.

Huntington Beach Might Rename Arevalos Park—And Erase a Part of OC Latino History

If you're not from Huntington Beach, trying to find Arevalos Park is a bit tricky unless you're a cyclist. The tiny greenbelt is right next to the Santa Ana River, right at the part where our Mississippi breaks out of its concrete straightjacket and reverts to its natural state. Arevalos is easiest to access from the bike trail; otherwise, a visitor usually gets lost going through the residential neighborhoods that surround it.

The 2 1/2-acre stretch is really just a playground, some swings and benches, a strangely placed plaza, and grass, sharing a parking lot with the private Pegasus School. It's humble, really, but perfectly capturing its namesake: Andres R. Arevalos, a Fountain Valley pioneer who farmed the Surf City land surrounding the school and park for decades starting in the 1920s and lived in FV's historic Colonia Juarez barrio. In 1965, a year before he died, the Fountain Valley School District named the school that's now Pegasus after him, to "honor all the Mexican-Americans who settled in Fountain Valley," according to a Register article at the time; the park's christening came sometime in the 1970s.

But Arevalos' public heritage is in danger. The school closed in 1988, and now Huntington Beach officials are thinking of renaming Arevalos Park. And if they do, they risk not only wiping out the legacy of a man, but an unknown part of OC Latino history.

Huntington Beach's ostensible motives for the name change are reasonable enough. A 2004 resolution gave the city new criteria for picking names for future parks, and also made a push to rename existing ones. It called for parks "adjacent to schools be named the same as the school" and suggested that parks donated by individuals or donors be named after them; all others, per the resolution, should either be named after former mayors (quick aside: can't the Rainbow Disposal garbage dump after Dave Garofalo and Pam Houchen?) or other individuals with "unique contributions have had a city, state or national impact, are marked by excellence and are worthy of honor."

Flash forward to October of last year, when the Park Naming and Memorials Committee took up the issue of renaming three parks, one of which was Arevalos. Minutes obtained by the Weekly show that after city staff let the committee know that Arevalos Park was named after the former school, which itself was named after a "Fountain Valley founding father," Commissioner Albert Gasparian noted that the fact Arevalos lived in FV made "it less of a reason to retain the names since the history belongs to Fountain Valley and not Huntington Beach." But city staff failed to inform the committee that, while Arevalos might've lived in Fountain Valley, he farmed in Huntington Beach, raising peppers and cattle.

A decision wasn't made that night, and the parks committee held a second meeting in March to get public input before forwarding their recommendation to the city council. Not invited? Descendants of Arevalos.

In a letter to the Weekly, Debbie Tinoco, Andres' great-granddaughter, said her family only found out about the proposed wiping of Arevalos Park in March, when a Chapman University professor let them know about the matter. Tinoco and other family members plan to attend the next Huntington Beach planning commission or city council meeting—whenever the possible changing of their patriarch's park gets on any agenda.

Tinoco provided a brief history of her bisabuelo to the Weekly:

He was born in Jalisco, Mexico in 1888. He left Mexico in 1905 to head to the United States and landed in Indio, CA where he met and married our grandmother, Guadalupe Garcia. They eventually ended up in Fountain Valley in 1908 and lived in a small community called Colonia Juarez. Keeping in mind that he was only fluent in Spanish he was able to get work with the Pacific Electric Railroad. He lived at 10332 Calle Madero, Fountain Valley, CA and was finally able to purchase this house in 1926 and became a farmer. He remained at this address until he died in 1966. There are many memories of family picnics being held at this small little home on Sundays...He was not an educated man but tried his best to make sure this was not the case for his children. One source of pride for him was having five of his six sons serve in the U.S. military.

Tinoco went on to note that none of Arevalos' nine children remain alive, but many of his grand-children, great-grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren continue to live in Orange County, including Fountain Valley.

Orange County Press-Telegram, whatever the hell that was

If Arevalos Park is renamed, it'll represent the latest insult rained on the region's Mexican-American history, one usually overshadowed by SanTana, Placentia, and Anaheim. His neighborhood, Colonia Juarez, once had a internationally renowned 600-foot mural by noted Chicano muralist Sergio O'Cadiz that was unceremoniously destroyed early last decade. And Arevalos remains the only Latino in Huntington Beach to get a park named after him—this, in a city that's almost 20 percent Latino and whose members remains a favored punching bag of Surf City's notorious online haters. In fact, Arevalos Park is the only parkland in coastal OC named after a Mexican.

"Our family as a whole is not famous or rich or well known, but what we are is a family that is very close and very proud of the legacy that my great grandfather has left," Tinoco said. "I hope you can understand how this is not just a park for our family but it is part of our family history. It is more than just a landmark but symbol of how far back the Arevalos name has been in this area."

Hear, hear. Alright, folks: time to rally to save Arevalos Park!

Civcom Makes Successful Entry to High Growth Transport Networks for Telecommunications Market in India

Premier provider of 100Gbps Coherent tunable transponders for DWDM telecom networks gives it a go in the Indian market to much success.

Civcom Devices & Systems Ltd, the market leader in providing High-End DWDM tunable transponders has made a successful entry into the Indian market, and plans on making good of the growing opportunities presented by such a vast market. The entry into the Indian market is a natural step in an expansion decision which the company made in the Asian market over the past year.

Civcom is one of the few companies in the world currently providing 100Gbps Coherent optical transponders and is in a unique position to provide the kind of fast and high quality equipment that India’s growing market needs through the rapid deployment of new communication services. Civcom’s products lead the line when it comes to providing high data rates and performance and has been proven as a premier provider and partner of choice for DWDM tunable transponders.

To facilitate the smooth entry to the Indian market, Civcom wisely used the services of a new local representative, and so far, this partnership has proved fruitful. Currently, the company already has product qualification processes with several customers, and recently achieved its first significant sale in India of the 100Gbps coherent tunable transponders to a large government sector company.

“Civcom appreciates the Indian market and the potential for growth this market provides.  Our intention is to make a large impression in Asia in general, and India in particular. With India’s high demand for internet connectivity and cellular networks, not to mention the fast growth experienced in this region, making the move to India was a win-win for both parties,” said Gabby Shpirer, Civcom CEO.

    Farewell, Teddy Mayer (and Big-Block Salutes...)

    As part of the memorial service for Teddy Mayer (one of the co-founders of McLaren Racing) this past weekend, Peter Revson's 1971 M8F Can-Am car was brought in and fired up as a final salute. Those of us using this engine (almost all of us...) owe a debt to the guys that pioneered the development of this beast. I can't imagine dealing with one in a 1400 pound car like this one. It practically jumped off the ground when the throttle was blipped.

    Farewell, Teddy - and Thanks!
