Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, there became a strong concern in this country
about our ability to cope with natural disasters. Due to the expensive cost of
acquiring detailed data about the hazard before, during and after the event, many
agencies are putting systems forth to allow citizens affected by the events to
contribute details about their surroundings. This may be in the form of data sent
over a mobile phone, or Internet connection to a PC. Please weigh in your thoughts
about using this system as a method of coping with natural disasters by taking this
brief survey.

Yes
No
2.
Which of the following hazards have you experienced?
Flood
Hurricane
Earthquake

My thought is that the heat of the lightning would cause the tornado to swell a bit and then disipate.
As I understand it, the rearanging of positive and negative charges takes time. This could occur over a period of time with the posibility of a tornado passing under it.

Via the best thing, I mean. This has never happened before in history but what should you do if a tornado were to hit and an earthquake both in the same location simulataneously and you were upstairs full of windows to stay safe from the earthquake but puts you in danger of the tornado storm that is also going on or if you’re down basement, you’re safe from the tornado but also put yourself in danger of the earthquake. Please help! I don’t want to have one of my internet friends killed because of this and I’d do everything that’s right to protect my friends.

Our house is on a hill. Our "basement’ is not underground and there are sliding glass doors going to the front yard from the basement. Every room in our house has windows except for the closets and hallway. There are two adults and two small children. Where is the best spot for us to go if a tornado hits?

I live in FL & we supposedly never get ‘dangerous’ tornadoes, but earlier today everyone was saying that there was one. How big does a tornado have to be to pick up a car? And what about to destroy a typical house (you know — the houses that only have a thin layer of cement around the outside)? Thanks!

I understand that a tornado’s destructive path can go for miles and be anywhere from feet to a mile wide (F5). But how far into the ground does it disturb? I see storm shelters aren’t very deep, how shallow is considered safe?

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
