I live in the Highlands of Scotland, at the moment we are due to get very stormy weather due to ex hurricane katia tomorrow night/Monday morning. I just read on a weather website that katia could also form tornadoes in the uk. I am now very worried! I am 23 and a mum so please don’t make fun of me for worrying for myself & my 4 year old, I have never experienced something like this before! Reasurance would be great. Anyone with info about katia please post thank you

The hurricane is supposed to pass through Connecticut on sunday but I’m not sure if I have anything to worry about or not. I’ve lived in CT my entire life so I’m not very familiar with hurricanes. Will I be safe?

Like exactly what time will it start? And from a one through a ten how bad will it be? Also, what are smart things to have while the hurricane is happening? Like if the power goes out….

I live in NY state, and I saw on the Weather Channel that the hurricane may bring tornadoes to NY, NJ, DE, and surrounding states. How does that happen? How could the tornado produce tornadoes for this area and do you think it’s likely it’ll happen?
And I meant to write, "How could the hurricane produce tornadoes?"

I live in NJ, about 45 minutes drive west of the shore in central Jersey. I’m really excited about this hurricane as it will be my first. I was originally going to Atlantic City for the weekend to get a closer look but I read now that they’ve put in mandatory evacuation. How can I go about experiencing the storm up close? The only thing I’m worried about during the storm is falling trees and being in wooded areas.

lose electricity.
Since that time, the area has had many days that have been very windy.
Why have there been so many windy days this year since Hurricane Ike passed through this summer?

The house was built in 1995 and is roughly 2000 square feet. The straps would connect the roof to the support beams, to prevent the roof from flying off during a hurricane. Google left me empty-handed.
Ballpark figure? 00? 000? I can do paint, and probably tear down drywall and put up new drywall myself, tho I’d have a bit of a learning curve to deal with.

if there was a storm in a hurricane and it hit the oil spill, would it be a huge fireball?
Its more of a hypothetical question. I’m not really assuming or referring to anything.

how the winds have a role in the hurricanes? where do hurricanes occur and what time of year? What types of clouds are in the hurricane the altitude and composition? Can you answer some of these questions?

or do they feel the hurricane should be negotiated with, and talked to?

Why is Australia’s storm being called a cyclone instead of a hurricane when the winds were noted over 180 miles per hour?

I’ve heard cyclones were listed as being 20-30 miles per hour and a hurricane is listed as 70 miles per hour and above.

Could it be location?

I’m living in the uk. It is very windy outside. Has there ever been a hurricane recorder here? If so, will there be one tonight? I have to get supplies!

I’m interested if I can buy a 4×4 pickup that was involved in the floods from the hurricane. Did the dealers or insurance companies scrap all the vehicles? I’m a professional auto technician @ my hometown General Motors dealership for 20 years and I’m not afraid to buy one [if avaliable] and restore it for my own personal use. How would I get in contact with the dealers or insurance companies?

What are they really trying to do? sorry, once you’ve seen 1 tornado video, you’ve seen them all.
And why do weathermen find the need to stand outside durring a hurricane? Are they trying to show us that hurricanes are really really windy? And how long till one of them is killed by a flying street sign on live TV?
Edit, I still dont see the point, we have 10,000s of videos of tornados, what good is 1 more video going to prove. I fail to see the need to risk your life for a TV show. granted, Ive never seen the show, but the commercials for it annoy me. Seems like there’re just grand standing.
I don’t think American Idol is a dangerous as people chasing killer storms, and the fact that they are so nonchalant about it kind of make its look like these storms really are not that dangerous. "Hell, why should I take cover, these guys are right next to it filming it, it cant be all that bad".
and again, why during every hurricane does some dumb-ass reporter stand out there and tell us how windy it is? Ratings I guess? Cant want to see how high his ratings are when a stop sign takes his head off on live TVs. Its just a matter of time. Sorry, thats just a pet peeve of mine, I dont expect an answer.
And I don’t watch any "reality" shows, they all seem contrived to me.

yesterday’s news of tornadoes in Massachusetts shocked me, i didn’t think they were possible way out there, the area is more likely to be hit by hurricanes instead. its not in or anywhere near the "tornado alley" parts of the US. but as i read more, apparently Massachusetts does have tornadoes (historically).

makes me wonder, are tornadoes possible where i live, Los Angeles Metro area of California?
what about hurricanes? I learned in school that both tornadoes and hurricanes are impossible, but that was also when we had 9 planets around the sun.

I need to now whether they’re possible and if any has ever been recorded in my area. I want to know because I want to be prepared for them if they were to come. (our homes have no basements, violates earthquake codes)
well, could southern California, specially the areas around los angeles, have those conditions for tornado/hurricane happen?

In many houses in Houston area, water rose up THROUGH the floor and came out through the grout during hurricane Ike. Why is this? Is it because the ground is saturated with water and the low or high pressure created by the storm pushes or sucks the water up? I can’t explain it.

This thing has its own eye like a hurricane. Holy moly.

This has been bugging me for quite a while now. Why is it that every photograph of a hurricane is taken by satellite, rather than from ground view? And how come people never see the actual funnel cloud? Is it too far away? Every time I google image search for a hurricane, I get either satellite photos of a cyclone or pictures of rain and wind blowing things away. No funnel cloud.

Does the actual funnel cloud reach land and cause damage like tornadoes do?

Also, do you need the eye on the center for the hurricane to weaken?

With the oil spill, and a layer of oil coating the gulf with more on the way, potentially being even bigger than the exxon valdez spill…what would happen if we suddenly got a hurricane headed for the gulf area? Would it rain oil on everything? Bring it all ashore? clean it up in a natural way but deposit it on land? I am curious.
