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;
By natural disaster I don’t just mean a hurricane or volcano..ect I mean a specific natural disaster that happened. Also by report I mean an information text.
I already thought of Haiti and the tsunami of japan, any others?
Thanks for the help!
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?
destination of the cruise Ex: a cruise ship scheduled to leave Baltimore this past Saturday heading to Bermuda where a hurricane is in progress at this time. Is the trip cancelled, diverted to another destination or does it cruise on as scheduled ?

are the chances of that happening?

Thank you for your contribution
I live in Kensington, Maryland and am really nervous about the hurricane. I don’t live near the beach but will it still be life threatening. It’s level 4.
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
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?
I was in Hurricane Ike and had to use all my rent money for supplies to survive on things such as "water, gas, propane, candles, food,and what Notus for my family. my rent was due the 15 now he is throwing me out can he legally do this??????? Please help..
What does the high and low pressure have to do to start a hurricane?
Could the hurricane pick up oil and spread it onto land?
I live in south texas and there’s a hurricane coming.
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.
I live in Denver, so I have no idea but I’ve always been curious. Call me crazy but I’ve kind of always wanted to be in a hurricane haha 
wow, great answers from everyone. Thanks!
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.

I sure hope you are right. Thanks for responding with a positive viewpoint.
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?
One, will the oil spill have an effect on the longevity of the season, the ferocity, or the damage caused?
Next, what will happen to the oil? I figure a lot of it will be blown depending on a potential hurricane’s path, but then do we have to deal with oil covered cities? Will the oil contaminate local water supplies?
Also, are oil rigs pre-designed to withstand a hurricane? Or is that something that we have to trust the regulators to ensure?
Finally, as of right now (the current distribution of oil), how long will it take for the cleanup to be complete? Months? Years? Decades? How long after that can we say that the environment is restored?
FYI- I put this in the Politics Section because I get answers more quickly, and they usually have better support/ sources, as biased as they may be.
I was just sitting here thinking about the high gas prices and the future. I drive a daily route that somedays consists of 200+ miles round trip by the time I get back home. Its my job and im glad to have one. I have cut,trimmed and am doing everything I can to counter the high gas prices.Im now just looking down the road a bit and was wondering,
"what impact would a large Hurricane or two, say a cat 4 or 5 in the Gulf do to the already high prices at the pump?"
If i want to make a hurricane in a bottle, for a project, how do i make it look real?
Also, what can I put in it?
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. Take into account your family’s daily water usage as determined in this activity, what steps would you take to ensure your family’s survival and comfort?
Consider this scenario:

Earthquake and hurricane for me.

We’re about to have a hurricane, which means we might be without water. I know that you can manually fill a toilet to get it to flush, but do you put the water in the bowl or the tank?
I’m in San Diego and we had a HUGE earthquake today, the biggest we’ve had in a long, long time. So far no major damage but it was pretty trippy when I was sitting on a wooden bench outside and all of a sudden it felt like someone grabbed the bench and started shaking it back and forth as hard as they could! My aunt lost some shingles off her roof, and we had some pictures fall off our wall, and apparently the library at my college was damaged somehow, but I don’t think it was anything major.
But they say dogs can sense things like earthquakes before they happen. Mine didn’t…they whined and shook while it was happening, but no abnormal behavior before it happened. Did your dogs sense the earthquake before it happened? Or if you’ve had an earthquake (or tornado/ hurricane/ cyclone/ etc) in your area in the past, did your dog sense that before it happened?
Uhavetobe: seriously??? I did a search and I didn’t come up with anything…then again I only went back maybe 3 or 4 pages. :/
I can’t. So I can sit back and watch how the media reports what happens.
Say when a hurricane hits Fla and people die. Will they call the Pres inhuman because he/she allowed people to die?
Or when gas prices continue to go up because of world supply. Will they say that He/She is in the pocket of big oil?
Or perhaps whenthere’s a world crisis and he/she sends the military to help and soldiers die. Will they ask for their impeachment because they lied to get us in there?
