How does the seasonal pattern of hurricane origin points change from the early season, to midseason, to the late season, and how do these changes relate to sea-surface temperatures?

What is the difference between a Hurricane and a Tornado?

Tornado
Everyone keeps telling me that a Hurricane isn’t a funnel cloud and I always thought that the only difference between a Hurricane and a Tornadowas that a Hurricane is tropical and forms over water and that a Tornado fromed over land, could someone please fill me in?
Why does a hurricane rarely sustain the windspeeds it sustained over water, even a few miles inland? What happ?

Why does a hurricane rarely sustain the windspeeds it sustained over water, even a few miles inland? What happens to such winds as the move from being over the ocean, to over land. [Hint: We haven't gotten to hurricanes yet; we're not talking about effects of the storm weakening] Why might the winds be more difficult to stand in just a few blocks inland, compared to the beach?
This is a question in my meterology class. Can you help? A source would be nice.
What are some of FEMA plans when it comes to preparing for natural disaster emergencies such as hurricane, tornados and earthquakes. Are they well published in terms of what the plans are depending on the area, the type of disaster, the severity of disaster, etc? Is FEMA well prepared for every type of natural disaster that can happen in the US?
Help me with this freakin question for my chemistry class! thankz in advance!?

Consider this scenario:
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?
Has any hurricane ever crossed over Mexico or Central America from the Caribbean to the Pacific and survived?
Apr 01, 2010 in
Hurricane
That is, have any of these monsters survived as hurricanes and continued on westwards after crossing land? I suppose while over land, they would probably be downgraded to a tropical storm, but has any of them become a hurricane again on the other side?
I’ve seen what a hurricane can do to land and people, its devastating. But I have always wondered, what happens to the life in the sea? Is the hurricane just as bad at sea? What are the effects on the sea and oceans when hurricanes, typhoons or monsoons occur?
I hope I get some good answers…:)
What was the last natural disaster you went through?

Disaster
I was in Hurricane Ike when it passed. My power was cut for two weeks, and I was hot and sweaty. Luckily we had no flood damage but a big tree fell on the garage.
You?
I am hearing all over about a cyclone in Oman. It’s terrible.
But I am confused. I thought the words "cyclone" and "tornado" were interchangeable. But this looks like a hurricane.
Wow! So many GREAT answers ! Thanks to you all!!! 
Why do people still refuse to heed hurricane warnings only to suffer in the end?

Several fires were burning untended across Houston and 911 operators received about 1,250 calls in 24 hours, said Frank Michel, spokesman for Houston Mayor Bill White.
I don’t get it. I really don’t. Houston and Galveston residents were repeatedly told about the dangers of Hurricane Ike, and still some choose to stay?! ( o _ 0 ) I’m not trying to sound mean. I’ve been through super typhoons, hurricanes, and earth quakes.

A hurricane destroys most of the fishing boats on the Macro Islands but leaves the lobster traps untouched. Boats are not needed to collect the trapped lobsters. People enjoy eating fresh fish with tartar sauce and lobster with drawn butter equally. Explain the effect of the hurricane on the demand and supply for fresh fish.
Demand / Supply
The last hurricane that passed through were the gas stations equipped with backup generators, were the shelters properly surveyed for proper usage, were inventory made on food and medical supplies that could be made available for use after the disaster passed away. Were the hospital and other emergency establishments equipment with backup generators. We should always be prepared,the season will soon be here again. Just look around you and what do you see?

I’m trying to understand how supply and demand works but I’m overthinking it and could use some pointers.
Assume that a major hurricane wipes out over 50% of all rubber trees in Central America. How would this effect the demand, supply, equilibrium price, and equilibrium quantity (Increase, Decrease, or No Change) of Rubber.

… or just the ones I date or marry? My last girlfriend called me this afternoon and was actually being real nice and offered to give me some hurricane supplies since I’m planing on staying here and riding it out. That evil woman drove up to my house and tossed a rope (with a noose tied in it) onto my driveway and told me to tie it around my neck when the storm hits, then she drove off in a cloud of dust. Does anyone else have problems like I do?

Does a hurricane start to weaken when the outer bands make lanfall, or only once the eye makes landfall?
are we selfish enough to rely on other countries to help us and carry us while we help other countries to help us more with our economy?For example we responded to the Haiti earthquake when we first got news of it. But hurricane Katrina we responded to a few days later and we knew that was coming. Is it the president or are we selfish?

I know that I am safe, I have sprinkled holy water and garlic cloves all around the perimeter of my home, drawn the blinds, and locked the doors. Should I board up my windows as well? I am also well-stocked with hurricane supplies. My neighbors think that I am insane, do you? Nothing has happened yet, do you think all the bad stuff will happen after it gets dark?
I live on the Gulf Coast and have a 3 month old. In case of a hurricane I need a checklist so I wont forget anything.

Obama has proposed to draw down America’s Oil reserve to ease gas supplies??

Isn’t this foolhardy as there is so many threats of violence in the middle east.
Won’t prices double or triple should another hurricane hit the gulf coast, and our reserves are low? Remember 2005?
What will happen to our economy if we actually run out of oil???
NO TO DIPPING IN TO THE RESERVES!!!
Can anyone tell me about the supposed hurricane in the Pacific Ocean, near Hawaii?
Jan 27, 2010 in
Hurricane
I live on O’ahu, Hawaii, and I have been told that we should be expecting a hurricane shortly. Can anyone tell me anything about this hurricane? I cant find it on the news channels, nor the internet. Thanks.
Good grief does anybody know anything about how are government works? Federal goverment can not step in until the state asks for help. And LA knew the hurricane was going to hit them for about 3+ days so why didn’t they ask for help before the hurricane hit? Why did they wait till afterwards? B/c if you read the news that day and in the following weeks, the fed gave ~ billion dollars to LA. And now you have Dems running around saying Bush didn’t do anything. He should have helped sooner. Why doesn’t he care. Like I stated before, Bush could not step in into the governor of LA, which is by the way a Dem, asked him for help. When she did ask for help though, noticed Bush sent military trucks in with food, medicine, and supplies to those people in New Orleans.
And for all those who said the fed could have done a better job, like one of the users stated below, how in the world do you plan for a whole city to become wiped out?
hey map that would have been nice but we have a balance system for a reason. If the Federal gov decided to do that with Katrina, then that means they can just but in whenever they feel like it into state business. That is what you are stating.
