The hurricane is going to hit us today at 2
We still didnt go shopping. We did go yesterday but everything was sold out at every store.
So now my older brother went to the store to get all the things we need and he told me text him all the requirements.
Can you guys please tell us what we need so that we can be prepared?
Best answer gets 10 points c;

With hurricane season upon us, news reports have explained what BP plans to do if a hurricane hits the gulf area by evacuating the area. However, no one has explained what happens to the oil in the gulf itself when a hurricane passes through. Specifically, would the hurricane suck up the oil into it’s twister and potentially bring it further inland than the already oil-soaked beaches?

What was the name of the hurricane?
To make this question easier to find online, I’m noting for a search engine to find: Another form of this question is: What is the furthest north a hurricane has gone?

Hurricanes are usually destructive in some way or another. But, what would be the impact if we did not have hurricanes and ultimately the increased water supply driven into the land they cross? Would this ultimately create drought conditions in areas that might actually depend on the hurricanes increasing the local water table? Are we dependent on the water the hurricanes can produce? Could we, and the areas affected by hurricane activity, survive without them? Your thoughts, please. Thanks.

I have a lot of experience adding on and troubleshooting PC’s and stuff. I know what components to buy and pretty much everything from overclocking to modding, but tomorrow will be the first time I will actually assemble a PC from scratch. Here are my specs:
Computer Specifications
- AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
- (x2) [SLI] PNY nVidia GeForce GTS 250 1GB GDDR3
- 4GB (2x2GB) OCZ Black Edition PC3-12800 DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
- Asus M4N98TD Evo nForce 980a AM3 SLI Motherboard
- Western Digital Black Caviar 1TB 7200RPM 32MB Cache HDD
- Corsair 850TX 850 Watt Power Supply
- Raidmax Hurricane ATX Mid-Tower Case
- LiteOn x24 DVD/CR+/- Drive
- CoolIt Eco A.L.C. CPU Cooler (Liquid Cooling)
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Basically, where should I start? Should I mount the motherboard in the case first and put everything in from there? Or should I install the CPU and RAM first and then mount the motherboard? Should the CPU installation be where the CPU will simply fall into the socket if installed correctly? Since the CPU is AM3 Socket and the motherboard is as well, will installing the CPU the wrong way will not POST but not damage any pins on the CPU? Thanks for answering all these questions =D

So I live in South FL and have 2 tanks (a 10gallon and a 65gallon) very happy and well set up. But I had never thought about how to protect them in case of a hurricane. When a hurricane threatens, I usually go up north with my cat and my bird, but what do I do with the fishies? Also, the power goes out in my area, every time a hurricane comes, so the filter wouldn’t be working for at least two days until I can come back and connect it to a generator. Any ideas, I’m kinda clueless here. Thanks

I’m planning a trip to the DR in September.

I checked the National Hurricane Center website to see if they predict any Hurricanes for September, but all it says is this season will be an "Active Atlantic Hurricane Season." It doesn’t give any specific dates.

So I’m wondering how far in advance can they predict a hurricane?

Say that an hurricane hit your town and your survive it with only 7 strangers each with a different profession. Your supplies are weeks worth of food, some hardware tools, an entire suburb town full of dabre, a canal, and some medical supply how can you survive in this environment? With no electricity, soap, clean clothes, government, and some hostile people that can come and get your supplies.

How can you survive it?

It was predicted to be an above average year but so far there has been only one hurricane and a few depressions/storms. Also, the waters are supposed to be really warm and LA NINA is developing. All this should be great for hurricane formation. Why such a slow start?

My dad doesn’t want the dog inside our house and I want to protect him from the hurricane.
What should I do?
Do animal shelters allow us to leave them there for some time until the hurricane leaves or what can I do?

How come Mexico is not making any offers of help or sending any aid to Haiti but they did to Texas when it was their people any reason why no help to the country of Haiti? In Texas Mexico sent food, water,medical dr’s, nurses, medical supplies, clothes, after the hurricane hit Texas and the areas had a high population of illegals but so far Mexico has not made any public offers to help out that country, Mexico has enough money to help out ? One drug cartel suitcase full of money would help out Haiti, would Mexico make a sincere effort to help out if their people were over there ?

Does it increase the intensity of the hurricane? I have also heard that if lightening would strike the oil in the water, that it could cause a fire on top of the oil? Any truth to this or is this just a rumor? Just curious. I live on the Gulf and I have heard various rumors of what could happen if we were to have a hurricane.

Lets say that the government were to supply money to a Christian faith based relief effort to help victoms of a massive earth quake or hurricane. Wouldn’t that also require them to cough up money to Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, and even Sihk organizations? It seems like they would also need to supply money to atheist organizations for atheist billboards or bus ads.

Do you hold this same view?

It seems like a bunch of conservatives in the states want to pour money to churches to get votes from conservative Christians.

Hydric acid, also called Hydronium Hydroxide, is a colorless and odorless chemical compound found in water supplies around the world, most often in large reservoirs and water treatment facilities. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of Hydric acid are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerin and Ethyl Alcohol. Tests have shown that Styrofoam and plastic cups contain the highest concentrations of Hydric Acid, with plastic bottles taking a close second. Inhalation of the compound is known to cause death, or in some cases severe brain damage. Yet, no ones doing anything about it. Furthermore, Hydric Acid has been shown to have severe impact in the environment. Post hurricane Katrina, Hydric Acid was found to have caused great loss of life in New Orleans, with many deaths attributed to exposure of the compound alone.

Considering all this, do you think we should do something to better control the environmental impact caused by Hydric Acid?
Actually, I wanted to see if I could make someone giggle. An environmentalist friend of mine sent me it in a mail.

Dust from the Sahara frequently crosses the Atlantic and wreaks havoc with the quality of air in the Caribbean. However, I don’t remember any hurricane meeting a large mass of Saharan dust. What do you think would happen?

Oil covered farmland, hospitals, water reservoirs, power generating stations. Is a response being prepared to clean people covered by Hurricane deposited oil?
If I lived in a hurricane effected are I would be making a few phone calls and sending emails.

A major hurricane is category 3 and up.
Does the house or building really shake from the wind?
I’ve heard the wind can sound like a plane taking off. Is this true?
