SUBJECT:

ACTIONS IN RESPONSE TO HURRICANE KATE As of 8 a.m. (EST) today, Hurricane Kate was centered near latitude 22.7 north and longitude 80.5 west. This position is slightly inland over north central Cuba, about 150 miles south of Key West, Florida. It is moving westward at near 20 miles per hour. On this course, Kate will continue moving over central and western Cuba before entering the Gulf of Mexico.

Hurricane warnings have been lifted over mainland Florida except in the middle and lower keys. Gusts in squalls over portions of the mainland are expected to exceed 50 miles per hour with hurricane force winds being limited to the Florida keys.

Both Florida Power & Light Company and Florida Power Corporation have been following the course of the storm and are taking appropriate actions. Both Turkey Point units continue to operate at 100 percent power. St. Lucie 1 is shut down for refueling and core barrel inspection. St. Lucie Unit 2 is at 100 percent power. Crystal River 3 is operating at 95 percent power.

All diesel generators at all three sites are operable.

Turkey Point declared an unusual event at 4:40 p.m. (EST) yesterday when the site came under hurricane warning, but terminated the designation at 8 a.m. today, because the hurricane warnings were lifted.

Region II monitored Hurricane Kate throughout the night and continues to do so. A high frequency radio team was dispatched from Region II and was available to the Turkey Point site as needed. Several other regional inspectors were already onsite performing normal inspections.

Media coverage of the storm is ongoing.

The State of Florida has been informed of Region II's activities.

This information is current as of 10 a.m. today.
