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!

A. A hurricane starts with a few basics, one of which is a very warm ocean to serve as a source of energy. The second is some kind of disturbance in the atmosphere, which we call instability such as a front, a depression, or a wind shear (change) area. With some energy, lots of moisture, proper upper level winds, and a trigger, up blows a tropical storm that can grow into a hurricane.

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

A. To my knowledge, hurricanes are born in the southern part of the North Atlantic, west of the Cape Verde islands, when the sea temperature reaches or exceed 27 C. That happens, usually in August. I have never read that it moves north or south with the season but I can't exclude it.

What happens if a hurricane collides into a cold front?
Q. Won't this cause the warm air in the hurricane to be pushed out and soon dissipate? Just curious. Cuz it's in the 30's here at night, but 70's during the day.

Asked by Kay08 - Sat Oct 18 20:43:59 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It really depends on the strength of the hurricane and that of the front. Generally speaking, the stronger the hurricane, the more likely it is to be sheared off by and absorbed into the front.(The precip will stay with the front though, so this still means flooding and gusty winds) This is because hurricanes tend to develop vertically, and the wind shear (change in speed and direction) associated with a transition of air masses (front) is most strongly felt in the upper levels of the atmosphere. However, do not rely on a front to protect your life and property. Numerous times have fronts stalled or hurricanes weakened enough to "punch" right through them. Going back to your original question, yes, hurricanes are warm-core storms,… [cont.]

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.]

What is the difference between a tornado, hurricane, cyclone and typhoon?

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.

During a Hurricane Storm is it possible to stay in the center?
Q. The hurricane is strong because its center is calm. If you were on a fishing boat and managed to find the center, can you stay their until the storm settles down? How wide is the center? I was just wondering?
Asked by gorge - Tue Oct 21 08:24:46 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You could IF you could move fast enough. Hurricanes "move" about 35 MPH (on the average). This is different than their wind speed, which can be 75 - 150 MPH. A hurricane eye is usually several miles in diameter. So far as that is concerned you would have no trouble staying "in it". REALLY big target, actually. Airplanes (hurricane hunters) fly through them all the time. So if you had a boat that could move, say 50 MPH, your could probably stay in the eye -- at least until it reached land. Then, of course, your boat is going to do no good, and you are going to get hammered by the "backside" of the hurricane.
