Typhoon "Louise" The 9 October 1945 Storm at Okinawa.
On 4 October a typhoon developed just north of Rota as a result
of a barometric depression and the convergent flow of equatorial
air and tropical air. Guam Weather Central called the storm of
apparently weak intensity "Louise" and put out the first
weather advisory on it at 041200Z, with further advisories following
at intervals of six hours. Up to that time of the 16th advisory
(080600Z), the storm was following a fairly predictable path to
the NW, and was expected to pass between Formosa and Okinawa and
on into the East China Sea. At this time, however, the storm began
to veer sharply to the right and head north for Okinawa. The 17th
advisory at 081200Z (081100I) showed this clearly, and units began
to be alerted for the storm late in the evening of the 8th. The
forecast for Okinawa was for winds of 60 knots, with 90 knot gusts
in the early morning of 9 October, and passage of the center at
1030(I).
"Louise", however, failed to conform to pattern, and
that evening, as it reached 25º N (directly south of Okinawa)
it slowed to six knots and greatly increased in intensity. As
a result, the storm which struck in the afternoon of the 9th has
seldom been paralleled in fury and violence; the worst storm at
Okinawa since our landings in April.
The sudden shift of the storm 12 hours before its expected maximum
, from a predicted path 150 miles west of Okinawa to an actual
path that brought the center of the storm less than 15 miles east
of Okinawa's southeast coast, caught many craft in the supposedly
safe shelter of Buckner Bay without time to put to sea far enough
to clear the storm. The ninth of October found the Bay jammed
with ships ranging in size from Victory ships to LCV(P)s. All
units, both afloat and ashore, were hurriedly battening down and
securing for the storm.
By 1000 the wind had risen to 40 knots, and the barometer was
down to 989 millibars, visibility was less than 800 yards, the
seas were rising, and the rain was coming down in torrents, liberally
mixed with salt spray. By 1200, visibility was zero, and the wind
was 60 knots from the east and northeast, with tremendous seas
breaking over the ships. Small craft were already being torn loose
from their anchors, and larger ships were, with difficulty, holding
by liberal use of their engines. At 1400 the wind had risen to
80 knots, with gusts of far greater intensity, the rain that drove
in horizontally was more salt than fresh, and even the large ships
were dragging anchor under the pounding of 30 to 35-foot seas.
The bay was now in almost total darkness, and was a scene of utter
confusion as ships suddenly loomed in the darkness, collided,
or barely escaped colliding by skillful use of engines, and were
as quickly separated by the heavy seas. Not all ships were lucky;
hundreds were blown ashore, and frequently several were cast on
the beach in one general mass of wreckage, while the crews worked
desperately to maintain watertight integrity and to fasten a line
to anything at hand in order to stop pounding. Many ships had
to be abandoned. Sometimes the crews were taken aboard by other
ships; more often they made their way ashore, where they spent
a miserable night huddled in caves and fields. A few were lost.
By 1600 the typhoon reached its peak, with steady winds of 100
knots and frequent gusts of 120 knots. At this time the barometer
dipped to 968.5 millibars. This was the lowest reading that the
barometers recorded, and was probably the point of passage of
the center of the typhoon, but the maximum winds continued unabated
for another two hours, the gusts becoming more fierce, if anything.
During this period, the wind shifted to the north, and then to
the northwest, and began to blow ships back off the west and north
reefs of the Bay and across to the south, sometimes dragging anchor
the entire way. These wild voyages by damaged ships caused a nightmare
series of collisions and near escapes with other drifting ships
and shattered hulks.
A typical experience was that of FLAGLER (AK). Her anchors dragged
at 1200, and despite the use of both engines she was blown ashore
a mile north of Baten Ko by 1315, colliding with LST 826 on the
way. Grounded, she began to pound, and all power was lost. At
1710, as the wind changed, FLAGLER was blown off the reef and
back across the bay, grazing a capsized YF and continuing on,
with a 13º port list, no power, and the lower spaces and
after engine room beginning to flood. One anchor was lost, the
other dragged across the bay. By 1800 she had moved two miles
across the bay and had grounded on the east side of Baten Ko,
alongside a DE hulk. Lines were made fast to the DE, but flooding
continued, and AT 0545 ship was abandoned. A small party remained
on board, however, and successfully stopped flooding as the typhoon
subsided. FLAGLER was later salvaged.
Many other ships had similar stories. SOUTHER SEAS (PY) rammed
or was rammed by five other ships, before sinking. NESTOR (ARB)
was forced to start maneuvering as early as 1020, in order to
avoid INCA (IX), which had started to drag at 0950. In dodging
INCA, NESTOR slipped nearer to the beach, and was forced to put
all engines ahead one third in order to hold position on her anchor.
At 1230 NESTOR again had to maneuver to narrowly avoid a collision
with LST 826, which was dragging anchor very rapidly; but in so
doing, NESTOR nearly ran down ARD 27. Another LST, the 823, was
being slowly driven towards NESTOR. While maneuvering clear of
823, NESTOR's anchor chain fouled the buoy to which an LCI was
secured, and NESTOR had to slip her anchor chain. Despite the
full use of all engines, NESTOR was being driven on shore by the
increasing winds. The starboard anchor was let go but would not
hold, and in clearing two more ships dragging anchor (ARD 22 and
LCI 463), NESTOR moved perilously close to the beach. At this
time the winds were constantly rising, seas were breaking clear
over the ship, and the conn was being deluged with salt water
and torrents of rain.
No sooner had the last two ships been cleared than YP 289 closed
dead ahead, and it became necessary to back all engines to avoid
a collision, but this put NESTOR so close to the beach that she
soon grounded. It was now 1345, only an hour and a quarter after
first dodging LST 826. While grounded, NESTOR was struck by YF
1079, was holed, and began to pound badly. At 1420 a sudden shift
of wind drove NESTOR off the beach, flipped her around end for
end, and drove her back on the beach alongside OCELOT (IX 110).
Breakers 20 to 30 feet high now pounded NESTOR, flooding all starboard
compartments aft of frame 25. At 1530 the wind again shifted,
driving NESTOR's stern against APL 14, completely crushing the
stern, while the bow penetrated the side of OCELOT at frame 10.
A few minutes later, NESTOR settled in 24 feet of water. At 1945
all personnel and records were evacuated to APL 14.
Conditions on shore were no better. Twenty hours of torrential
rain soaked everything, made quagmires of roads, and ruined virtually
all stores. The hurricane winds destroyed from 50% to 95% of all
tent camps, and flooded the remainder. Damage to Quonset huts
ran from 40% to 99% total destruction. Some of these Quonsets
were lifted bodily and moved hundreds of feet; others were torn
apart, galvanized iron sheets ripped off, wallboarding shredded,
and curved supports torn apart. Driven from their housing, officers
and men alike were compelled to take shelter in caves, old tombs,
trenches, and ditches in the open fields, and even behind heavy
road-building machinery, as the wind swept tents, planks, and
sections of galvanized iron through the air.
At the Naval Air Bases some 60 planes of all types were damaged,
some of which had been tossed about unmercifully, but most of
which were reparable. Installations suffered far more severely.
The seas worked under many of the concrete ramps and broke them
up into large and small pieces of rubble. All repair installations
were either swept away or severely damaged. At Yonobaru, all 40'
by 100' buildings were demolished, the same being true at the
NATS terminal. Communication and meteorological services were
blown out at most bases by 1900.
The storm center of typhoon "Louise" passed Buckner
Bay at about 1600, from which time until 2000 it raged at peak
strength. The storm was advancing at the rapid rate of 15 knots
in a northerly, then northeasterly, direction, and by 2000 the
center was 60 miles away. The winds gradually began to subside.
Conditions in Buckner Bay were at this time somewhat improved
by the wind's having veered to the northwest across the land mass
of Okinawa, which reduced the size of the seas, and probably saved
many more damaged ships from being driven off the reefs and sunk
in deep water. Nevertheless, the subsidence at 2000 was a relative
one, from "super-typhoon" to typhoon conditions, with
steady winds of 80 and 60 knots throughout the night, and some
gusts of higher velocity. A wild, wet, and dangerous night was
spent by all hands, afloat or ashore. It was not until 1000 on
the 10th that the winds fell to a steady 40 knots and rains slackened.
Having left Okinawa, the storm proceeded NNE on a curving track.
Ships of occupation groups anchored in Amami O Shima anchorage
had a rough time, with winds over 70 knots; and Japan, from Nagasaki
to Tokyo, was alerted for the storm. On the night of 10-11 October,
"Louise" ran into cold air from over Japan; as a result
the center of the typhoon occluded, moved aloft to the north,
and eventually dissipated. Our forces from Nagasaki to Wakayama
experienced winds of 40 to nearly 60 knots on the 11th and 12th.
Ships at sea were enabled to maneuver clear of the worst of the
storm, and sustained only minor damage, despite heavy seas.
This ended typhoon "Louise", but the damage it left
behind on Okinawa was tremendous. Approximately 80% of all housing
and buildings were destroyed or made unusable. Very little tentage
was salvageable, and little was on hand as a result of previous
storms. Food stocks were left for only 10 days. Medical facilities
were so destroyed that an immediate request had to be made for
a hospital ship to support the shore activities on the island.
Casualties were low, considering the great numbers of people concerned
and the extreme violence of the storm. This was very largely due
to the active and well directed efforts of all hands in assisting
one another, particularly in evacuation of grounded and sinking
ships. By 18 October, reports had been sifted and it was found
that there were 36 dead and 47 missing, with approximately 100
receiving fairly serious injuries.
The casualty list of ships was far greater. (See Appendix
III following). A total of 12 ships were sunk, 222 grounded,
and 32 damaged beyond the ability of ships' companies to repair.
ComServDiv 104 under Commodore T.J. Keliher, was assigned to the
salvage work. By 19 November, 79 ships had been refloated, and
132 were under repair. The remaining 53 badly damaged vessels
still afloat had been, or were being, decommissioned, stripped,
and abandoned. On 14 November, ComServPac, (Vice Admiral W. W.
Smith) inspected the damage, and decided that only 10 ships were
worth complete salvage, out of some 90 ships with major work to
be done on them. This decision was made chiefly because similar
types of ships were rapidly being decommissioned in the United
States, and the cost of salvage would have been excessive for
unneeded ships.
Repair work went on rapidly ashore. As a result of the experience
in the earlier typhoon in September, extra stocks of food and
tentage were to be stored on Okinawa. These were enroute on 9
October, and in less than a week after the storm, supplies were
fairly well built up; emergency mess halls and sleeping quarters
had been erected for all hands, and 7500 men had been processed
for return to the United States.
