STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF DAMAGE BY TYPHOON KAREN ON GUAM.

Abstract

An engineering study was made of the effects of Typhoon Karen, which struck the island of Guam on 11 November 1962, with sustained winds estimated up to 173 mph and gusts to 202 mph. The assessments of damage and the recommendations in this report are based on onsite observations in the aftermath of the storm by a team of NCEL engineers, on interviews with public Works Center personnel of Guam, and on reports by other observers. Recommendations, proposed research and development, and suggested new criteria are detailed in this report. (Author)
