Do you live near it? How has it affected you personally?

I live in one of the towns in Iowa experiencing moderate flooding. Two roads in and out of town are closed. The heavy rain has really affected things at my house because our driveway floods and that means getting up when I hear rain. Also, our backyard is saturated, and we have a septic field. It’s meant using the plumbing as little as possible. Showering and flushing is fine, but any more than that isn’t!
Here’s a picture of my backyard. It’s normally dry with NO water.

Tonight we’re supposed to get even more rain and possible tornadoes. How’s the weather in your town?
My hometown is Des Moines, and the flooding there is supposed to be just as bad, if not worse as 1993, when we lost water for 12 days. Luckily this time the water plant is nowhere near being flooded because they overbuilt the levees. A lot of cities around Central Iowa are getting hit hard, and for me what’s sad is in New Hartford, they were devastated by an F5 tornado two weeks ago, and now they’re pretty much under water. I feel bad for those folks!

What would happen if someone shot at a tornado. More specifically what would happen to the bullet traveling toward a powerful F5 tornado. Will the bullet go right through it or will the bullet be "pushed" to a different direction (deflected)?

Of all natural disasters that could possibly occur, which would you be most frightened to be in the heart of, and why?

Would knowing that you’re in the heart of a 9.0 earthquake terrify you? Would being with 5 miles of a major errupting volcano horrify you? How about living on the ocean side during an enormous tsunami? Witnessing an F5 Tornado in the middle of a city? Living near a major mountain during an avalanche? How about living in the heart of a flood, and as you go out your door, the water from the flood rushes inside your house?

ok, here’s the situation, you arestandingg in the middle of a 10×10 mile square of concrete. there are no objects anywhere and an F5 tornado is coming at you, would you die if there was no flying debree?
Some people dint agree with my spelling…
[this is a non-real situation]
You are standing smack in the middle of a 10×10 square of dry concrete. 1/4 mile in front of you there is an F5 tornado. if there are no objects for it to pick up and smash into you, would you survive this event?

Who do you think would win?honestly I think Storm would win why/ Cuz she also has an ultimate power that she is controling and read on wiki and it says she can break through physic barriers with her lighting and I dont think Jean can disinagreat Lighting and everyone has seen wat the weather can do with a F5 Tornado and a big Hurricane but who do you think would win and why?
but she is not as fast as lighting and she cant block it
well I luv all ur guys answers! they were great I luv them Both there a both my Favorite but i still dont know because I know it even says that storm is holding back and we havent seen her like blow up like jean grey did so Idk who would win but I kno if it was the regular jean grey storm would win all the way!

If I were an employee or a customer at a large retailer like walmart and there was a tornado warning (with emergency alert sirens on), is walmart allowed to round me up into the middle of their store when they page a code black and tell everyone to go into the middle of the store. Their managers stand at the front doors and tell you that you cant go outside, they tell you to go to the middle of the store…to me it just seems like a deathwish to go into the middle. I hate to sound morbid but it just seems like it would just make it easier to find the bodies if the store was ripped apart by an F5 tornado.
So legally i think i could do something if I was a customer, however I’m not sure if I were an employee I can do anything if I want to leave the store to escape the impending doom.

Years ago, "awesome" had real impact. It would be pulled out upon the witnessing of an F5 tornado or some unbelievable act of God which one could barely describe. Now, it’s every other word. I’ve heard it used to describe a good chocolate chip cookie. It’s been worn down to meaninglessness. What word is there now to use to convey something that it could once describe? Apparently the Grand Canyon is no greater than a good cookie now. Kids ruin everything.

If a nuclear device was detonated in the center of a F5 tornado or the strongest of current hurricanes, would the implosion nullifly the kinetic energy of the winds and appear as a normal explosion, or would it somehow change the look and effects (strength, temperature, etc.) of the nuclear device uppon the explosion?

Its unusually warm today in Massachusetts, but i dont think any type of weather except maybe an F5 Tornado could help the Jags, what will it be like in Green bay and who do you think it will help?

Well, was born and raised in New York until I was 10 and the moved to Altanta and then went back to New York for 2 years and then back to Altanta, since then I never wnet back. Recently, I nearly escaped a tornado in Atlanta and Atlanta rarely gets those types storms espically where it hit in March of this year where it got the GA Dome (where my shift just ended 15 minutes before), I was really scared because I had to ride public transportation and all. Coming from New York or up north period, that was scary so I just wanted to know what would the rest of the northerners do if some where like New York, Maine and Etc and a F5 tornado?

I’m making a documentary movie for youtube of the deadliest tornado outbreak of history of the may 3 1999 oklahoma tornado outbreak. The tornado outbreak of may 3 1999 had an F5 tornado that reached winds of 319 MPH which is the strongest. A lot of people died from that terrible supercell storm and i want to make something to tribute to those who are victims. It’s not an sketch comedy film but an drama film that i expect to be approximate of 45 minutes. I will try to have big youtube stars like shane dawson, dave days, lisa nova and ryan higa from nigahiga along with some of my friends, the youtube stars i’m still trying to contact them and only one replied and said yes. Could anyone please tell me where can i get information on this biggest tornado outbreak ? Also, where could i find clips of an F5 tornado so i could put into my movie ? Could anyone please help me out ?
