How long does a hurricane usually last?
Q. I'm planning a trip to NOLA next week, and of course, there's a chance of a hurricane. If Gustav does make landfall this weekend, how long will it be before residents are back in New Orleans? We are supposed to arrive on Wednesday. Will it be safe or even habitable by then? Living in the Midwest, I have no idea how long or how damaging a hurricane can be, except for the catastrophic.

A. If the storm is to touch down on Tuesday, then you will be looking at rain and squalls of rain for at least four days to a week. I would definitely reschedule. The airlines and hotels will probably cancel your reservation without any fees due to the storm.

How can I make a hurricane resistant house with limited materials?
Q. For school I have to make a hurricane resistant house out of 2 pieces of construction paper and 4 straws. Does anybody have any ideas on a design for a house or how to use the straws correctly to support the house so the house doesn't fall apart? (The "hurricane" will be a leaf blower) Thank you!

What would happen if a hurricane was to form/pass thru the oil spill in the gulf?
Q. This is kinda like a "what if" question. This is a horrible disaster, and it is hurricane season. Would oil "get" into the rain, since water evaporates, to form rain? If this did happen it would be a disaster, or is it possible it would just be like a normal hurricane, with oil having no effect at all?
Asked by Jenna -- - Mon Jun 7 16:04:34 2010 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Hurricanes take evaporated water from the ocean to use an energy. Oil does not evaporate like water. The hurricane could evaporate the water from the oil, but it would not take the oil with it. In other words, do not expect to see it raining oil anytime soon. The hurricane would form just like normal, however, it's powerful storm serge could was a lot of oil up on shore. Think if the oil spill had happened in 2005. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the city would have been flooded with oil and water!

A. There is no most common. Typically they are anywhere from a one to a three. Five means devestation.. complete devestation. Living on the east coast of florida, there will be more hurricane scares. Living on the west coast means there will be less of them. Living in the center of Florida up by Orlando means there will be hardly any worries at all... but it's blistering hot in orlando area.

Is Gustav an exagerated hurricane for Republicans to pretend they care and are now going to raise money?
Q. It's a relatively minor hurricane in power, way off the coast too, yet the GOP makes it seem like the world's coming to an end, the convention is postponed and now it's opening with a fundraiser - a little too fake I think! What do you think? Can they make up for Katrina last minute by turning Gustav into Katrina?
Asked by simple - Mon Sep 1 17:01:02 2008 - - 6 Answers - 2 Comments
A. It's the RNC taking advantage of a relatively minor hurricane. Gustav is now a category 1, with winds up to 85 mph. Big deal, we get that sometimes all the way up in Colorado. Not only that, but New Orleans is virtually deserted right now anyway. There is no way they can make up for Katrina, not with that many deaths and destruction. McCain just wants to appear presidential, even though since he's still just a senator right now, he can't do squat except sit in his hotel and twiddle his thumbs in worry.

What makes the hurricane season from the June to November?
Q. I mean do the hurricanes just say okay, it's June I'm gonna start now, and when November comes, it says I'm gonna stop now. How do we know the exact month that a hurricane could pop up and how do we know the exact month that it stops? Who's to say we couldn't have a hurricane in December?

A. Warm water temperature... December tropical cyclones, while exceedingly rare, aren't unheard of. Since 1851, 10 tropical storms have formed in the Atlantic basin. That's an average of about one tropical storm every 15 years. Of those 10 named tropical storms, five became hurricanes. The strongest was Hurricane Lili, which attained a peak wind speed of 80 mph in mid-December, 1984. The latest hurricane was Alice, which formed on Dec. 30, 1954, and didn't dissipate until Jan. 6, 1955.

How can I reattach a hurricane bolt anchor that has come out of my concrete block wall?
Q. I moved into a new concrete block and stucco house that has permanent anchors around the windows for bolting on the hurricane shutters (metal panels). Some of the screw-in anchors have come out. Can I plug the holes with cement and drill a new hole to reattach the anchors? Or is there a better fix? What type of cement or substance should I use to plug the holes?
Asked by bh912vny609 - Fri Jun 1 12:34:07 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I would recommend using an epoxy to install the anchors. You get a better hold, with no crumbling of the mortar. Just remove the loose anchors, and fill the holes with epoxy, to reset the anchors. I would recommend using NEW anchors too, go ahead and replace the hold ones, so your bolt/screw will get a new grip on the inner surface of the anchor. Good Luck

What are the risk and challenges one must face when riding out a hurricane?
Q. When a hurricane hits any coastal city in the United States, it is advised either mandatory or voluntarily to evacuate from where you are located. Throughout history of major hurricanes such as Hurricane Andrew (1992), Hugo (1989), Opal (1995) and Katrina (2005), many residents of coastal cities stayed even though they were told to leave.

A. Yes and no. Impact resistant windows are made in different ways--tempered glass with a film between layers of glass (think car windshields), Plexiglass (acrylic), and Lexan (polycarbonate). The key to the answer is "impact". These windows will protect against breakage from impact by flying objects. The acrylic would be my last choice if I picked. Protection from damage by large flying objects in high velocity wind would also be dependent on the quality of the frame. Even if the window did not shatter, a poorly made frame may allow the entire window panel come out of the frame if it was struck with a large enough object at high enough speeds.

What would be the effect on a hurricane if it met a sizable mass of dust?
Q. 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?
Asked by alactasic - Thu Jul 1 07:47:47 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. In my humble opinion, the kind of dust comimg from the Sahara will reduce the chances to see a hurricane to form. I have experienced it on the Canary islands and it really veils the sun, thus reducing the heat and the thermal difference needed to see the strong convection associated wtih a hurricane. Furthermore, the dust from the Sahara that moves westward with the trade winds (and northward as the Sirroco, in Italy!) is more north than the usual path of the tropical storms that end as hurricanes. Those are usually born west of the Cape Verde islands when the sea temperature reaches above 27 degrees Celsius. An already formed hurricane, i.e. a tropical storm with wind forces equal or superior to Beaufort scale 12, will not be affected… [cont.]

A. Tornado : A violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground or Water (WaterSpout) and extending from the base of a thunderstorm. Cyclone: An atmospheric closed circulation rotating counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The term hurricane is used for Northern Hemisphere tropical cyclones east of the International Dateline to the Greenwich Meridian. The term typhoon is used for Pacific tropical cyclones north of the Equator west of the International Dateline. All of these Storm are in the Cyclone Famliy, because of the atmospheric closed circulation rotation.

A. A Yahoo search for "florida hurricane building codes" (include the quotation marks in the search box) yields 87 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I'm sure that you will quickly find the information you seek. Good luck with your search.

A. a) katrina was in 2005, not 2004. 2004 saw frances, ivan and charley (the worst hurricane to hit florida since andrew in 1992, i think it was 1992 anyway) b) meteorology is a very hard field of science to study, as it does involve predicting the future. fancy doing that on a day to day basis and never making a mistake? people make mistakes, it's nigh on impossible to predict weather so far in advance, and the things meteorologists base the predictions on, they have valid reasons for doing, but these things are liable to change, and a weather condidtion across the other side of the world, 6 months away from the main hurricane season, could affect how it will turn out. c) the fact is, hurricane seasons are getting 'busier' and hurricanes… [cont.]
