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?

Is anybody worried about this years hurricane season? Possibly up to 23 hurricanes? It worrys me because it gives the whole gulf coast a greater risk of getting hit by a hurricane. It’s crazy. Ive been thinking about buying hurricane supplies now to be better prepared. I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and I wasen’t prepared for Gustav at all and wasent too worried as it was a landfalling category 2. It ended up being the worst storm to ever hit Baton Rouge and I lost most of my roof in that storm, Along with my bathroom window and the pine trees in my yard. Should I start preparing now for possible storms this year? What are yall doing?

Earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes. Can they ever damage to a nuclear power plant, causing a radiation leak, or worse? Maybe this needs to be asked by our government, in light of the oil leak in the gulf.. We need to investigate and prepare for ANY potential disaster.

how strong a tornado has to be to become a tropical named storm and start deep convection? when does it get an eye? how deep is the mesocyclon?

when it gets to water, it becomes a water sprout, but when they start to issue hurricane warnings, how string has the water sprout to be to develop an eye and become a named storm

conversely, what processes cause hurricane to degenerate into simple single mesocyclonic tornado when they touch land

do hurricanes retain their names once they become a simple tornado and become extratropical

I have lived in New Orleans for 7 months. Obviously there is not a huge supply of used furniture, household goods, etc., in the city due to the extensive damage from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. With that said, does anyone know of any good used stores, still up and running, or newly opened in the area? I am looking for great old furniture, pottery, etc.. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I have a project and I must include the following:
-natural disasters
*earthquakes
*floods
*hurricanes
*volcanoes
*tsunamis
*mud slides
*wild fires
*and so forth

I must have a good bit of natural disasters.. I also have to have as much detail as possible.
Detail must include: the event its self, and the impact on the land and people.

I also need pictures. As much as possible.

I have to give a 3-5 minutes presentation, so details are nice.
Not tooo many but you get my point.
If you can give me websites too that would be great!
I also need this before the end of the day… cause I have to finish putting this on notecards and a poster and practice talking about it by the end of the day… so yeah.
thank you but i still need more than just floods…
blizzerd?
maybe avolanch?

I saw a study today that said the bees are mysteriously vanishing and that this is a major threat to the world’s food supply. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/honeybee_die_off

I’m trying to think of all the reasons Miami is better than L.A.
Well it has no earthquakes…at least you have a chance to escape hurricanes
earthquakes just sneak up on you like rape.
I watched the pictures of the 1994 or something L.A. earthquake and it looks like
a horrible way to die.
It’s smaller and it’s a real city…it’s not just a bunch of cities stuck together.
The beaches are better..warmer water and white sand.
Also there is no hills and mountains everywhere.
The air quality is better too.

There are zones where natural disasters such as flooding/tornados/hurricanes/and wildfires can be easily expected!
Is it anyone else’s responsibility to "help" rebuild or the people who have chosen to live there?

I am proud that most citizens are willing to give when called upon to do so….but would it lessen the burden if we stopped populating areas of the country where natural disasters are prevelant?

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.

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?

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.

I have some concerns about moving to Florida, because of all of the natural disasters that’s been going on lately..

Do you think Florida can be hit by a tsunami or a earthquake or any other major natural disasters?

I am aware of the hurricanes, but usually they give you a head-sup on those. I am talking about disaster that people can’t "predict" hitting a certain area 100% and that will just hit without no time of warning that could help people escape?!

Even after all the devastation last year people are still not ready for this hurricane season (that started today).
Are you ready?

The news said that over 80% of people have done nothing to strengthen their home.
Over 2/3 of the people have NO hurricane plan (they do not stock any supplies or have any evacuation plan if the need arises)!

If I lived in Florida or Louisiana I would be scared of hurricanes (the hurricane season is getting worse every year because of Global Warming). How can they not have plans to get out?!?

I came accross various articles on this subject online, here’s one:

The Russian Navy reports that the U.S. created the earthquake in Haiti

The Northern Fleet has been monitoring the movements and activities of U.S. Marines in the Caribbean since 2008 when the Americans announced their intention to reestablish the Fourth Fleet, which was disbanded in 1950, and that Russia responded a year later, with the Fleet led by the nuclear-powered cruiser Peter the Great "by starting its first exercises in this region since the end of the Cold War.”
Since the end of the decade of the 70′s in the last century, the U.S. "advanced a lot" in the state of its earthquake weapons and, according to these reports, they now use equipment with Pulse, Plasma and Tesla Electromagnetic and Sonic technology together with "shock wave bombs."

The report also compares the experiences of these two earthquake weapons of the U.S. Navy last week, when the test in the Pacific caused an earthquake of magnitude 6.5 to strike in the area around the town of Eureka, Calif., causing no casualties. But the test in the Caribbean caused the death of at least 140 thousand innocent people.

According to the report, it is "more than likely" that the U.S. Navy had "full knowledge" of the catastrophic damage that this test earthquake could potentially have on Haiti and had pre-positioned its Deputy Commander of the Southern Command, General PK Keen, on the island to oversee aid work if needed.

As regards the final result of the tests of these weapons, the report warns that there is a U.S. plan to destroy Iran through a series of earthquakes designed to overthrow its current Islamic regime. Additionally, according to the report, the system being tested by the USA (HAARP Project) would also create anomalies in the climate causing floods, droughts and hurricanes.

According to another report, coincidentally, facts exist establishing that the earthquake in Sichuan, China on 12 May 2008, a magnitude 7.8 on the Richter scale, was also caused by HAARP radio frequencies. It can be observed that there is a correlation between seismic activity and the ionosphere, through the control of Radio Frequencies Induced by force fields, which is a HAARP feature, and it can be concluded that:

1 .- Earthquakes identical in depth and linearly on the same fault are caused by induced frequency linear projection.

2 .- A coordinated satellite configuration can generate concentrated frequency projections targeting specific points (force fields).

3. A diagram shows that earthquakes considered to be artificial propagate linearly at the same depth.

-Venezuela, on January 8, 2010. Depth: 10 km.

- Honduras, on 11 January 2010. Depth: 10 km.

- Haiti, on 12 January 2010. Depth: 10 km.

The rest of the aftershocks occurred at depths close to 10 km.

Soon after the earthquake, the Pentagon said the hospital ship USS Comfort, which was docked in Baltimore, summoned its crew and sailed to Haiti, despite the fact that several days would elapse before arrival in Haiti. Nevertheless, Navy Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the U.S. armed forces were preparing an emergency response to the disaster.

General Douglas Fraser, Commander-in-Chief of USSSOUTHCOM, said that Coast Guard and U.S. Navy vessels in the region were sent to offer help even if they had limited resources and helicopters.

The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson was sent from the naval base at Norfolk, Virginia, with a complete consignment of aircraft and helicopters. It arrived in Haiti early on the afternoon of January 14. Other additional groups of helicopters will attach with the Carl Vinson, said Fraser.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), operated in Haiti before the earthquake. President Obama was informed of the earthquake at 17.52 on January 12 and asked his staff to ensure that embassy officials were safe and began preparations to provide needed humanitarian assistance.

According to the Russian report, the State Department, USAID and the U.S. Southern Command began its work of "humanitarian invasion" by sending at least 10,000 soldiers and contractors, to control Haitian territory, rather than the UN, after the devastating "experimental earthquake."

First we were told it was because of hurricanes in the gulf and the need to shut down platforms; then we were told the supplies were low; then we were told it was because of the fear of terrorists attacks. As the price continues to climb what do you think are the REAL reasons oil is at 0 a barrel?

It looks like President Obama found George Bush’s hurricane machine – you know, the one he used to send Katrina to hurt all those poor black people in New Orleans – and has now used it to send Hurricane Bill to hurt the white people in New England. Does it actually make the hurricanes or just attract them like a magnet? And if the latter why did President Obama take such a risk bringing it to Martha’s Vinyard himself?

I’m really interested in meteorology and hope to become a meteorologist some day. My high school is having a science fair. I chose to do a tornado. My question is Why are tornadoes more powerful than hurricanes but don’t last nearly as long as hurricanes. How am I supposed to do this experiment? I really want to do this topic so I need help on how I can do this experiment or if there’s another experiment related to weather that I can actually do.

gas price gouging: "blame it on the hurricanes"
Bush/Chaney? They are heavily invested in big oil; don’t expect any help from them. Congress? Asleep at the wheel or paid off.
Gas companies should have been warned not to take advantage of the hurricane situation or they would be put on trial like those Enron crooks.
Just last week, they said that supplies were so high that production would be cut. Now why a sudden shortage? It is time the American people got some answers, not doubletalk and more windfall profits for the oil companies.

In the fall of 2004 the price of tomatoes dramatically increased. Which of the following could have caused this change?
A. Hurricanes during the late summer damaged the Florida crop, shifting supply left.
B. A reduction in tariffs of tomatoes from Central American, shifting supply right.
C. A news report stating that a pesticide used on tomatoes might cause cancer, shifting the demand to the right.
D. Advertising for catsup increased demand for catsup, shifting the demand curve to the left.

Very warm water and air meets cold and high air and generates a hurricane. Hurricanes start they development in oceans. Should it be that underwater volcanoes make a major contribution to hurricane phenomenon?

Technorati Tags: Hurricane, hurricanes, oceans, phenomenon, underwater volcanoes, warm water

Volcanos for instance. How often on average is there an eruption around the world? One every year? Every 5-15 years?

Lightning? I seem to recall hearing that there is a lightning bolt every 4 seconds or something somewhere in the world

Hurricanes? Fifty or so I would guess?

Earthquakes above, say, 4.0? Maybe….. 150-200?

Tsunami waves? Maybe 1 every 10 years?

Tornado? No idea……

It’d be interesting to know how often these things occur.
