Is it safe to seek shelter in the basement of a 13 story hospital during a tornado? My other option is to remain home. I have no windows in my bathroom, but live on a hill with plenty of trees surrounding my property. I have a one story, brick, simple home.
Hello.
I’m doing a virtual project for my physics class involving shipping disaster relief items (mine being a water tank to Tanzania). I’m not too familiar with all of the different kinds of aircrafts and such, but I’m pretty much trying to find a cargo aircraft that has a cargo door (I’m more than positive that’s incorrect terminology) bigger than 12 x 20" and can hold, at the MOST, 48,000 lbs. Kind of difficult for me. So, if anyone has any websites and/or information on what kind of aircraft I should be looking for, or any specific aircraft reccomendations, let me know.
Thanks :]
NOTE// Sorry I didn’t mention this, but I’m not allowed to use helicopters. Which, I think, doesn’t make too much sense.. but whatever.
Oh, and after browsing a few of the suggested aircraft I figured out that it’s going to be nearly impossible to find a plane that has a big enough cargo door, yet has that small of a maximum weight. I believe as long as I have a valid argument as to why the max. weight for my plane is so high, my teacher won’t have too much of a problem with it. I’ll just have to increase the number of water tanks I’m carrying or something of that nature. Thanks :].
My paintings and glass frames fell off and broke and books flew out of my dresser. I was so scared!
I’m in the San Diego area. Did this happen to anyone else?
Especially Pennsylvania, I’ve heard about some fault lines in Jefferson Co, and would like to see for myself. Thanks in advance!
It would be great if it showed me recent earth activity and earlier activity so I can compare both of them.

Our "friend", proclaimed handyman, really got us for home improvements costs. During his work, he asked for ,500. which (duh) I gave him by check written out "cash" w/comments on the bottom "home improvement." I paid for all supplies. Long story short, 75% of work is not finished. He tried to put a sprinkler system in our yard, but had no clue. Our screens on back porch are now in place, but he never finished cutting them properly. We live in FL & Hurricane Katrina did a bit of damage. We paid for a pressure cleaner which he used 1st for his own home & charged us for the rental & /hr. to shoot a bit around our home. Twice he used a snake to unclog, but Draino works. He presented me w/a bill & I could not read it. All scribbles, but thinking he was a good friend of my husband, I wrote him a ,500 check. Later we argued about the unfinished work & I fired him. Can I get any money back? Would appreciate any advice or experiences. TY — Patti H
Apparently, if we made American women dress up in niqabs and burkas, we wouldn’t have earthquakes or wars anymore.
Anyway, how do women feel about being the cause of all this stuff in the world?

My family and friends have been hit hard because of the 2010 baja california earthquake. The magnitude was greater than the Haiti earthquake. Although the death toll doesnt compare at all, the damage done is unbelievable. Most of my family members live in Ejido Oaxaca, Mexico, which was right next to the Epicenter. I want to setup a website so people can donate money which can be helpful for Food and water. We have had a couple of phone calls to them and they said that the gallon of water has sky rocketed in the local markets to 60 pesos which is about 6 dollars. People dont have this kind of money so they need our help…
so far i have created this blog.
http://2010earthquakerelief.blogspot.com/
but now how do i make it so that people can see it and make a donation?..
I can only think of blizzard here in London.

Or did the Haiti earthquake getting media attention draw attention to the amount of major earthquakes there are a year?
Or could it be I just recently started reading news stories?
But, even still, has there been this many this often before or is this just kind-of random?
What is the distance between an earthquake and a seismic station if the first S wave arrives 3 minutes after the first P wave?
I heard from someone a year or so ago that she had gone out to New Orleans, had her lodging and expenses (food, etc.) paid for while she worked disaster relief (clerical duties) out there. My son would like to go there and get a laborer job. Does anyone know someone he could call?

When I try and get information about the Iceland Volcano all the news stations here in America can talk about is money lost in the airlines or with the flower industry, why is it all about money are we that shallow? Why isn’t anyone reporting on how the ppl of Iceland are going to be able to recover or about how the 2nd Volcano is showing signs of erupting also? I’m seeing news articles from other news sources outside the US that paint a diffrent picture. When the earthquake in Haiti happen America broadcast it all day long. Tons of charities set out to help them. But a Volcano is more serious why don’t new media tell more??
Eager to learn More!!
Is it true? My friends whole family is totally preparing for the end of the world. they say to look at all the bad stuff happening, like apparently the earthquakes and the now volcano that erupted is a sign… do you think its true?
There is a major hurricane headed for your area. It is entirely likely that you could be without water for a week or more. You may be able to get a few gallons of water from relief supplies after the hurricane, but these would be for drinking water. The supplies may not arrive for many hours, what steps would you take to ensure your family’s survival and comfort?
i know how to find the time and all but i dont know how to use the earth science reference table for the epicenter
for example if the time is 1:40 seconds what is the distance from the epicenter.
can you please explain the steps? thanks
What happened to all those movies stars that helped out the Haiti earthquake victims? What about helping their next door neighbors Mexico? Was there a catch for them to help out the Haiti victims?
Hello George Clowney and Brad "Bitter" Pitt and Angelina Jolie and all those other celebrities who helped out during that disaster why aren’t you doing the same for your Mexican friends? Don’t you all go to Mexico every year to get married? Or celebrate your honeymoons? You’re always seen vacationing in Mexico and now you don’t even do anything to help out the earthquake victims. What about Imperial Valley, California. It is part of the United States you know. When is the telethon going to be? How many millions are you going to raise to help the residents of Southern California? Come on! Just like you helped the people of Haiti…do the same for Mexico! And for Calexico and Brawley and El Centro. They were also affected by the earthquake.
And where is Plastic Governor Schwarzenegger? Is he building more plastic muscles to put on his ugly body? Or is he actually going to help out the earthquake victims? I haven’t heard him say anything so far. What is he doing besides putting California more in debt?
and last but…uh nevermind. What about Obama? What is he doing? He hasn’t said anything about the earthquake. Is he sending out help? Or is he playing golf for the 150th time this month? Did he suddenly forget that a lot of the votes he got during the election was from the Hispanic community? "Si se puede! Si se puede!" Yeah right! Now that they need your help Obama you kick them in the ____!
So who is helping them out? There was a lot of damage in Mexicali and Calexico. I don’t see anybody helping them out except the Red Cross and Salvation Army. That is very sad.
Not just the earthquakes and volcanoes but what about theses lights falling from the sky and all these comets appearing in the night sky this year? It’s like Earth gone wild 2010 edition. I am not feeding for conspiracies,if some one has a deep educational explanation I want to know.
