I’m terrified of tornadoes. I think it’s because I’ve never experienced one, and the thought of like being in my house and just watching a giant tornado of doom come toward me; scares the crap out of me.
Is it safe to seek shelter in the basement of a 13 story hospital during a tornado? My other option is to remain home. I have no windows in my bathroom, but live on a hill with plenty of trees surrounding my property. I have a one story, brick, simple home.
what are some sighns of a tornado??
please hurry!!!
oh crap the sky is a greenish color and there are flash flood and t-storm watches
Which would be scariest to happen do you think? Don’t answer based on which one’s actually happen where you live.
Sandstorm? Fire? Earthquake? Blizzard? Monsoon? Tornado? Avalanche? Mud slide? Volcano?
Why does a batub and a matress help u from a tornado i mean if u lay in the bathtub and a tornado comes wouldnt the tornado suck u out and if u stay under a bed wouldnt the tornado suck tht out too?
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 want to know what i should do with my horse when their is a tornado on the way. I have been told to open the gate and let’r go. Is that what i should do?

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?
I want to know when there is a tornado nearby. I would also like to get a photo of a tornado. Is there a service any place that will send me an email when there is a tornado in the area?
I am told so many times to hold my tongue when trying to convince designers and builders that improving their building frames would stop a tornado in destroying their product.
They all say not to worry, because we are all insured against disasters.
thanks for the sympathy, morgan, and knightrider; if you had a new method for buildings to resist wind and seismic forces, which didn’t change the design of the building, just the frame, was easier and less expensive to assemble/install, and proved to upgrade the frames to be more resistant than the forces, what would you do?
this might sound Crazy but when i took a bath i Felt the Ground move, Than my Body started to get chills Than when i got on usgs, their was a Earthquake Magnitude of 4.3 in New Mexico at 6 pm

i’m in to Earthquake’s and tornado’s and Science alot
Do you hit your brakes or do you put the car in reverse and try to floor it to escape the tornado’s pull?
Maybe in a HP supercell, the tornado could suck in a lot of rain drops, that it makes the tornado primarily composed of rain. Would that make it a water spout, or would it still be a tornado?
I thought so. Matt V, you will be given best answer later on.
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!!! 
Is it OK to spread the wealth for said residents of tornado ravaged trailer park?
What if they had no insurance maybe they were too lazy to buy it or maybe they used the money on NASCAR and six packs. Is this the same as spreading the wealth? Does FEMA print their own money or does it come from the taxpayers?
Which would be scariest to happen do you think? Don’t answer based on which one’s actually happen where you live.
Sandstorm? Fire? Earthquake? Blizzard? Monsoon? Tornado? Avalanche? Mud slide? Volcano?

Have you ever been involved with a Tornado, driving away from it, or running away from it, or it going through your home? If so, what was it like and what advice do you have to offer? Do you hear it coming? How loud is it?

I dreamt of a tornado. What does it mean to dream seeing a tornado in the distance. The scene was that I was in a home with some people I know and we saw a lot of police cars driving in the distance making a line as if it was a barricade. The barricade was to prevent people to enter into the tornado’s path.
How do you calculate on how much weight a 70 miles per hour tornado can lift?
Three women are about to be executed. One’s a brunette, one’s a redhead, and one’s a blond. Two guards brings the brunette forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests.
She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ." Suddenly the brunette yells, "earthquake!!" Everyone is startled and looks around. She manages to escape. The angry guards then bring the redhead forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests.
She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ." The redhead then screams, "tornado!!" Yet again, everyone is startled and looks around. She too escapes execution. By this point, the blonde had figured out what the others did. The guards bring her forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests.
She also says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ."
The blond shouts, "fire!!"

My home was recently damaged in a tornado and I have a ,000 deductible. When I look at my policy, I also have a ,000 deductible for personal property. If my personal property was damaged during this tornado, do I pay the ,000 for the home coverage and an additional ,000 for personal property or is the personal property considered part of the home claim?
I have never experienced a tornado, earthquake, hurricane or flood or anything other than heavy rain and strong winds. But I am leaving the country soon for university and I am going to the states. I am going to Arizona. I was wondering what I should do incase of an earthquake, tornado or hurricane? I have absoloutely no idea and realized that I should know what to do just incase.

I am on a crew team. I will be taking a trip out to Oklahoma this weekend and am wondering what I should do if I am rowing on a river and a tornado comes. My first thought was to dive under water, but I am not sure.
We are doing a research project dealing about the eye of the tornado. Especially if why is the air calm in the eye of the tornado? Thanks!
We had our home destroyed by a Tornado in February of this year. We got about 2,000 from the government to help us in recuperation what we lost as well. I’m using taxact.com to do our taxes as I’ve done every year for a while now and I’m stuck on how to enter this in and exactly what to put, as I’ve never had to do this before.
Yes it was declared a national disaster. It was the Tornadoes that hit Tennessee earlier this year.
