A high pressure ridge to the north, which had held the storm ion a westerly course,.was weak- ening and Inez was swinging into a long curve northward that was. expected to keep her clear of the U.S. mainland. But, as hurricane-hunting air- craft waited for Inez to emerge into the Atlantic off Cuba’s north coast, the Bahama: Islands appeared in peril. . Inez had blasted Haiti with top winds of 160 miles ah hour, which probably reached a much higher velocity as they funnelled through the .Valley- of Death, a deep gorge between Haiti's tow- ering mountain ranges.
