I was taling to the emgerency mangement in my city because I lost power during a storm. I had no way of acessing information because the only portable tv I had working at the time was a non digital tv. I was scared so I got in my car to drive to my mom’s 15 minutes away. I know it was dangerous but there was a break in the storms.
When I was a quarter of my way there a severe storm started again. I drove around trying to find a business that had a basement. The only place that did was a bar. After that incident I talked to the emergency management lady and she told me I should have stayed there and sheltered in place.
Sheltering in place is where you stay at home and create a tornado safe room for yourself. Has anyone heard of this and what exactly do you use? She told me I needed to attend the class to find out more.
I live in an apartment building so how good is sheltering in place when you are on a 2nd or 3rd floor or live in a mobile home. Most buildings are designed to only withstand up to 90 mph which is only an F1. If anything hits that is stronger what would happen?
How come they can’t come up with a better plan such as recquiring all mobile home complexes and apartment complexes to have safe shelters. How can sheltering in place overcome poor construction or uninforced buildings? For being 2010 it sure sounds like outdated advice. I expected more.
I agree with you that is why I don’t understand the whole sheltering in place. If someone lives in a home with a basement or lives on the lowest floor I could understand. What good would sheltering in place do if you are on the third floor and the roof is gone; the floor has collasped, windows are broken etc. My concern is people will be killed more this way by creating a safe space in their own homes such as a mobile home or upper level apartments.
I know what it takes to have a safe shelter; that would be reinforced concrete with steel bars; no windows. If I can figure this out why can’t builders. We have a prison that is built to withstand an f5 tornado; if this is possible why can’t builders do the same with the law abiding citzens by building them safe homes?
Can you have a safe room built into a rented apartment? I have a huge walk in closet if this was my place I would have it installed there. I also rent a garage that is partially underground. I doubt any apartment would let me do that.

Ok the other night i had a dream that there were two guys that were on their way to get me to sell/use me as a sex slave. they arrived at my house and told me that i had one minute to gather anything i wanted to bring. in my mind i knew that within that one minute i had to find a way to tell my mom what was going on without the two men knowing. i was so terrified.
Somehow i escaped outside but there were tornadoes so i had to stay with a sheltered area. The guys found me and started "messing" with me, then took me back into the house.
I dont know how it ended, it didnt really have an end.
I know this is a really random dream but i want to know if it has any meaning, thanks
I dont think about things like this though. So its really random for stuff lie this to come out in my dream…
I am NOT afraid of men and I am definately NOT lesbian!

So, last year was the first tornado outbreak near me for as long as I know… I’m guessing with how things are going thus far there will be more to come. I live near Toronto, ON, Canada in a condo on the 20th floor… If something hits again… What do I do… Yeah I hear get down stairs but it’s me, my mom who has knee/hip issues a cat and a dog… Could I really get down fast enough? And when should you take the percaution… When it’s a warning, a watch.. Or is there something more serious than that… I’ve also heared that it’s unlikely to have a tornado touch down in a built up area full of high buildings… Is that true? Last summer was too close for comfort.. If it hits our area again I’m not sure what to do… Please help.

I am 35 years old and my mother believes she can still tell me what to do. For example she used to date our insurance agent and now no longer does. She claims he beat her and is manipulative and wants us to change insurance agents. Well he came to see my daughter’s last concert, gave her flowers, and got every one ice cream after wards. When my mom and her new boyfriend came over for the other daughter’s concert she asked who the flowers were from so we told her, that got her all upset. To the point of calling me at work and said she does not want grand kidskids around her old boyfriend, we should chance insurance agents, and I broke her heart that we still talk to her old boyfriend. I told her he is a good agent helped us through a tornado and broken windshield and she still said well at least change agentsyouryoor brother found out after what he (the old boyfriend) did to my broth , my brother would be angry with me also. Another example is I can never be sick, if I do not feel good she thinks it is all a lie and should be at work. My husband has had enough, keeps on saying he will step in but never does to help me. I am to the point of "no return". Any one have any suggestions after reading that long rambling on and on? Many thanks

Early this morning i had a dream about the world ending, it went like this:
my family and i were living in a big nice house somewhere(it looked liked georgia which my mom plans on moving next year in a big house) and my mom had lost her mind, she was seeing things like spirits and doing strange things , so we found her one morning sleeping on the ground outside and everyone thought she had completely lost it and we were trying to figure out what was going on…so then we had a pet cat and i was trying to feed the cat but the cat was going crazy jumping all over the place trying to run away like something terrible was going to happen(i have heard that animals can sense things, and when they sense evil or trouble they act crazy or try to run far away)but anyways it started raining really hard and then a hurricane and then tornadoes then a blizzard, it was disaster everywhere…next thing i know i looked out a window and i seen the sun spinning and growing bigger and rays of sun shot out and started burning everything…my family and i fell to our knees and started praying for forgiveness, we were so scared b/c it reminded us of the book of revelations..then next thing i know we were in the car headed to a shelter and everythig was destroyed…we ended up at a shelter where a few others were and everyone was trying to figure out did the world end…i dont quite remember everything well…but my mom says that means i need to give my life over to God and that my stepdad use to have similar dreams before he was saved…it scared the mess out of me b/c i have had dreams about situations that actually happened not exacly like the dream but with the same meaning as the dream had and about people that at first i did not believe but then a situation would happened that made me remember what the dream was exactly trying to tell me…plus i went to this church were they had a lady preach and she prophecized to me that God wanted me and to keep my body(which was strange b/c i was thinking about losing my virginity a couple days before then)…..
family members and people who are close to the family already thinks my mom is a little bi-polar or mentally ill because of the way she acts(nice one second,mean the other, attitudes, tantrums when she doesnt get her way, etc….)

I don’t understand this. Why does this happen a lot?? I live in Centreville, VA in Fairfax, However, the weather is never comparable to the reports given for Fairfax when you are in Centreville. For example, we were issued severe thunderstorms. Then the warnings were canceled stating the storms have broken up. Then I get to Centreville driving home, I drive completely in tornado cell cloud central driving in. I was driving towards and in the activity. Large hail, witnessed a major funnel cloud form, but didn’t touch ground thankfully because it was right over my head! I didn’t have any where to take cover. I call Mom but she said nothing is happening in Fairfax at the moment. Yet the weather says tornado warning for Hay Market.

I checked the weather when I got home at first said bright and sunny. Chance of light rain. ?????

Wierd. I am a student studying meteorology and know what to look for etc.

So last year, on Good Friday, our block has hit by an F5 tornado. Well tornado season is here again and my mom is totally freaking out LOL. I know it’s not impossible to be hit twice but what are the chances of our house being hit twice? I guess I’m just wondering for my moms sake, ha ha. Anyway, if you’re interested in the photos here you go…

Last night I dreamed that I was at a grocery store with my mom. We leave the store and then begin to walk by a gym that has lots of windows. We both see the guy I was in-love with doing some sort of leg exercise. I’m frightened by seeing him again, but also a little thrilled.

My mom and I then get in the car with this one guy (my dad’s dream friend) and he precedes to drive in circles around the parking lot, which has mysteriously gone empty, in front of the gym. He continues this until the guy I was-love with leaves the gym. After which these cars start chasing us.

Dream switches, I’m ending a tennis practice (at courts I’ve never seen before) GIWILW (guy I was in-love with) is there too and is looking at me with a very soft expression. My mom is already there to pick me up and the three of us walk into the tennis shop. My asks him if he liked the practice and he says, yes, because I was there.

My mom then asks the head pro something that I can’t remember while GIWILW and I just walk around the shop, not looking at each other. My mom comes back and tells me it’s time to leave. GIWILW says he should probably go to. I feel sad all of a sudden. He opens the door for us, then asks me in a rush, would you like to hit some time with me?

I stare at him stunned because he’s ignored my asking him that very same question for awhile (in rl). Then after I recover, I reply a simple sure. He then gives me a small smile and heads up a hill away from us and to his car.

I stand there looking after him, wondering why after he has hurt me so many times that I immediatly give into him. I then realize it’s because I love him, always will, and that there is nothing I can do about it.

My mom and I turn to leave and see a massive storm brewing. Like huge, including two tornados. I want to go back inside the shop and hide, but mom wants to head for the car. So we run for the car.

Wind is blowing things around everywhere as we drive and everything looks orange. I keep wanting to pull over and seek shelter (I’m also really concerned about GIWILW), but my refuses, saying she could see just fine.

She then misses I turn and plows us off a hill and into a field of cows. I’m screaming at this point, but she still refuses to stop the car or turn around. Saying there has to be another road up ahead. We then go flying into a ocean (or lake, the world is to fuzzy). I’m freaking out because we’re going to die now.

Miraculously, we manage to stay above water and mom tries to turn the car around so we can get back to land. But a big wave pushes our car further out to sea, along with several cows (lol). Mom finally gets our car turned around when a water spout appears.

I then was woken up. What did my dream mean?

I was born in california but moved to minnesota when I was in 2nd grade and been living here ever since. I just turned 20 recently. I have no family here except my mom, 2bros and sis, and they are moving back to cali this summer.

I just found out that Minnesota, North dakota, and iowa are the only 3 states that dont get earthquakes. With all the earthquakes happening lately and I heard the other day that cali had an earthquake recently Im pretty scared to move back to california. I’ve only been thru tornadoes, they are pretty scary sometimes but they only come bout 2-3 during the summer and I havent been thru one in a year and a half.

People who live in california, what do you normally do for and earthquake? For tornadoes, sirens go off when one has touched the ground letting you know to go the basement or cellar, are there any warning for eathquakes?

My boyfriend lives in florida and I was considering moving there after a year in cali, if I can try and stay calm a year there, then I planned to move out in florida. What is the weather like in flordia?

Can someone please interpret my dream?
None of these people, except my mom are people in my life]
Here is my dream:
I walked to school with my twin sisters and went to some classes. When I arrived at home I was having a goodbye party. Everyone was crying and upset. So, my boyfriend packed all my things and we were on our way, We went about a half of a mile and he stopped at a store. My cousins and friends were there begging me to stay. When my boyfriend came back out to the car, I asked if he could possibly take them back before we left. He did and then we went about a half of a mile again. This time, I saw one of my friends and asked him to stop. I talked to my friend and he asked my boyfriend to take him home. Well, we were driving past the same place again and he wanted to stop before our road trip and get ice cream. We did and the same process with me seeing friends and cousins repeated for a long time. Finally, we were passing the store but all a sudden there were sirens for tornadoes and there was lightning. We pulled over and as we were getting ready to get into some type of shelter my boyfriend ran off and disappeared. Then I saw one of my best-friends climb up with a ladder to the top of an electricity pole[on purpose] and she died from electrocution. I then started running home and the winds picked up and lighting kept striking. I finally made it home and I could not find my mom. I kept calling for her and I finally found her. She said "What’s wrong with you" and I responded " there is a tornado and a whole bunch of things have gone wrong and I just ran a mile" she looked at me like I was crazy and she said "Where did you run from?" and then she turned on the weather forecast and it did not even say it was raining, yet I was wet. Then I woke up.

An ambulance moments ago rushed my dad and mom to the emergency room,they said only one person could ride in the ambulance(my mom went with him and me and my brother stayed home and started cleaning up to get our minds off things) I rushed to my bible and started reading Psalms 91 and I prayed to God, and then a moment after that I called my mom and got updates about my dad she said the blood pressure machine I used to check his blood here at the house was wrong because I didn’t check it right,I also used my meter to check his blood sugar and it was 103(I did all of this before minutes before my mom called 911)

It all started my mom was sleeping,my brother was in his room and it was about 12 something at night earlier) I was watching WWE videos on you tube and then I heard a big crash,so I rushed up the basement stairs to see what caused that noise and I saw my dad had passed out and his body hit the glass table and it looked like a small tornado has came through the living room,everything that was on the table was scattered out on the floor. I rushed into my dad’s room and my mom was already up(the noise had woken her up) and I told her to call an ambulance cause my dad passed out(I felt the feeling of death in me)

She felt my dad’s forehead and he was sweating and his body was very hot,he looked very pale,we had to help him walk, and he said he felt light headed.I checked his blood pressure and it was 62 over 25 and his pales was 59.

It is 2:50 A.M here in Chicago and I don’t feel like going to sleep,I did cry a little bit.
So doctors and nurses and hospital staff are doing all kinds of tests on him and like my mom said everything is coming back fine,his blood pressure was a little bit high,sugar was normal.

Even though my profile name is Mr.Funeral that is just here on Yahoo and I don’t want to learn my dad has died cause I don’t wanna go to anymore funerals unless God calls him home,I asked God not to call him home. My dad is just 50
Update

My dad and mom just got home and he is fine and they said he had something called Syncope,I am so happy.

When I was a kid I think I remember my mom telling me something about that rain and tornadoes couldn’t happen at the same time. Is this (or anything like it) true? And if so, why?

Technorati Tags: mom, rain, tornadoes

does any one know what happens in the end?there is a really funny story to why i didnt see the end. my mom and i went to the parks mall in arlington, tx, and we were at the poinnt where the bad guys had gotten the gold thingie when they turned off everything, and i mean everything and announced that there was a tornado watch where we were so we needed to get to the shelter.so got out of the thearter on the 2nd flore and went to the 1st flore and all the way around the mall. when we got tothe shelter they said that it was full. so ironically enough thay told us to go back to the amc arfind a safe place in sears. so here i am freakin out so my mom and i went to the blanket section but they were held up by bid sheets of glass.so my mom thought, the bathroom! we went to find the bathroom witch was of coarse next to the POWER TOOLS!!and we waited and waited. we called my g-pa and g-ma and they said that there was a tornado heading our way accross lake arlington so we went to the bathroom
and waited for them to call of the warnind though they locked us in for another hour. longstory short i leave you with one tip and one guestion. never go to a movie on a humid and rainy day with tornado warning and expect not to get trapped. and what happens on the end

I am 17 and I need to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life, my career. I wanted to be an Architect, but now I’m second guessing it. I am taking it as an elective at my high school, and its a lot of fun, but I know once i get to college, theres so much more to it than just making up floor plans.
Before Architecture, I wanted to become a Meteorologist. I kinda still do. I have an interest in weather and Natural Disasters(like tornadoes and earthquakes). My mom keeps telling me she can’t picture me in either career. I’m not sure if I can either all so much now I think about it.
So, What career is for me? I like drawing, designing, deciding where things go, music, weather, sports, helping others, nature, the environment, etc. I don’t like fashion and history.
I know for one, that I don’t want to become a nurse or doctor or dentist or vet or related fields. I am like, terrified of needles and stuff like that.
Thankyou for your responses

right now theres a storm outside bigger than any storm ive ever seen.

and now theres a tornado warning for my area… im so scared because ive never, ever seen really bad weather in my life ,and my dog is crying because of the thunder…

how do you calm yourself down when theres scary weather? considering i have really bad panic attacks and had just calm down until i woke up to my dog crying…

i know a sound like a little kid, but jeez im a southern california resident all my life, the worst ive seen was small earthquakes.. nothing like this rain, and never had a TORNADO warning so close to me! and the tree outside my window is looking pretty scary…
its not just a little rain, my street is flooded and im stuck at the house… :/

sorry, i sound stupid but ive literally never ever been in weather this bad.. i just need some reassurance.
we dont have a basement… :X or a room without windows… :X

where is the next safest place to go? cause we got an automated call from the city telling us to be careful and theres one of those clouds a few cities away…

whats safer… a bathtub, or a shower with a door? me and my mom need to know what to do if we have to hide… or would hiding under my bed work best? but i dont think we’d both fit down there… i dunno, they never gave us tornado drill practice when i was in elementary school or whatever, because we’ve never had to worry about it..!

We live in a terrible trailer park! Nobody is screened before they move in (there has been pedophiles and there’s still drug dealers out here), they don’t keep up ALL of the park, or anything! What I mean is, there is a long road, that leads to a dead end, about 3/4 of the way down the road, there’s mail boxes – supposedly, the road after the mail boxes is ‘private’ so everybody here has less rights than the people that live before the mail boxes. One of those lesser rights is the fact that the landlords won’t pay for a snow plow to remove the snow past the mail boxes (they plow up to the mail boxes, then stop – literally!!) Now because of that, when cars drive on that, the snow got packed – making the road VERY slippery…yesterday, my mom went to check the mail and slipped, fell backwards, and broke her wrist… (she has severe rheumatoid arthritis, too, so she’s in an awful lot of pain)..My mom had a brain aneurysm last may so we can’t really afford this bill (she went to the hospital, though)
Another one of the lesser rights is, (my neighbors have a dog that is forced to live in a very small kennel 24/7, with no stimulation what so ever – sometimes he’s not fed for days, etc.) one day, last summer, he got out of his kennel, (my dog was outside with me and my family – on her cable tie out) and he ATTACKED my dog! If my brother (who is very strong) wasn’t there, my dog could be dead…The owners saw what happened, but all they could say was, "If you kill my dog, I’ll kill you" and they tried getting by with saying, "He was just playing…" I called the police immediately and all they could tell me was that because the road past the mail boxes (where I live) is private road, so they couldn’t do squat about it! They wouldn’t even do anything about the dog being abused/neglected in the first place! The landlords are ‘friends’/related to my neighbors so there’s nothing they would have done about it…..for the longest time, we couldn’t even blink when letting our {elderly} dog out to go to the bathroom – I couldn’t even walk her for goodness sake…because the neighbors dog would get out so many times a day! (Now the neighbors boarded off the kennel completely so there’s no getting in or out of the kennel…except for a gate they have some locks attached too…)
As if it couldn’t get worse; the landlords son patrols the park (with illegal lights flashing on his car – there was a time he was pretending to be a cop, too..) and all he does is look for trouble (there’s a lot of retarded people out here – he picks fights with them, the cops favor the landlords son, the retarded people wind up in jail over night..). AND every single summer (particularly when we have tornado warnings) he’ll come and lock the gate that lets us into the storm shelter (our only form of protection from a tornado..it’s so old, though, I don’t know if it’d even save us..)

What I’d like to know is if there’s ANYTHING, anything at all we can do to have SOME rights, or to be treated fairly, or SOMETHING!! It’s RIDICULOUS out here….This trailer park has some fairly new trailers in it that are being rented out…that is until you get to the freakin mail boxes…all the trailers after that SHOULD be condemned (rotting holes in the floor… ceilings leak in more than 5 different places throughout the trailer) and there’s well over 30 stray cats roaming outside (but that’s due to another neighbor – he brings cats in until they reach maturity; then they’ll either start spraying or going into heat – then the tosses them back outside or keeps them and lets them get pregnant over and over and over – then he tosses the kittens outside (after weaning..)!!!

What can we do about all of this (neglected dog, mom breaking her wrist due to lazy landlords, strays, our lesser rights, etc.)???

By the way thanks so much for reading through everything!
I’m not sure if I posted in the correct section – if I didn’t could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
If we *could* move we most certainly would, but we don’t have enough money….we looked at another place we could afford, but it did’t have enough bedrooms for all of us

theres this movie that used to be on fox family/abc family a lot, and it has something to do with a tornado. i only remember certain parts including a guy chasing the tornados and then there was another part where everyone was in a shelter and someone was holding a baby. there was an old lady who got injured by the tornados and someone picked her up in a car to get her to a hospital or shelter.i think someone had a car on top of them but that could be a whole other movie im thinking of. i also think there was a teenager and that baby that someone was holding was actually his half brother or sister. like i think his mom or dad remarried idk. any ideas?
Yes it is the night of the twisters, thank you! and omg i knew everyone was going to say "twister"

I was at the house I used to live at, and my brothers were in the basement playing with a "remote" tarantula. Then it came upstairs really fast. I was really scared for a second while my sister was just standing there looking at it! Then for some reason, the doorbell rang and it was my sister’s ex-best friend. She wanted to know if I’d buy an animal encyclopedia (I was obsessed with animals when I had this dream) and I wanted one but my mom said, "That’s what Wikipedia and the internet are for." (By the way, I had no idea what Wikipedia was, I was only 9 when I had this dream) So I took a step where she was and she was gone, then I walked a couple of steps down our sidewalk (on the left is a big flowerbed) and there was my same sister digging a foot-deep hole right underneath a tree where there were no flowers. I asked her what she was doing, and there was a tornado right about to hit our house (which i had known about before – and i was SOOOOO scared of tornadoes since i had been in one at 5) and she said, "I’m trying to take shelter from the tornado."
I had the dream three years ago, but what does it mean? It’s recurred more than once.

Ok. Well first of all, i need some help. I need someone to tell me what these dreams might mean. Some recurring dreams i have are

going to school when the sky is DARK and/or evening, and not being able to go home.

being in a situation where theres a tornado and i cant seek shelter.

And i ALWAYS basically every month for a year i have a nightmare where i am in a car driving on an endless road, in the middle of a wide field and there is a huge funnel cloud over head. The last one i had of that dream was worse, where the funnel cloud was replaced with a face and hands reaching down.

I do have history where i was OBSESSED with weather (tornadoes specifically) i have never encountered one, and my obsession has stopped more than a year ago, but i keep having dreams with them involved and all i feel is absolute fear, even though my interest a while back was simply interest, and i wasnt "scared" at all. i still am obsessed being whenever its cloudy or stormy/windy i think theres going to be a tornado and i live in the mountains!!! but any way the main question is WHAT DO THESE NIGHTMARES MEAN? Both of the dreams i described are ALWAYS happening atleast 90% of my dreams include tornadoes.
EXAMPLE OF A DREAM I HAD THIS MORNING, literally lasted 9 minutes.
then it changed to a scene where the parking lot was my "drive way" and i lived in a mansion, the sky still dark brown and misty. i was in a car driving to town, mist everywhere, like fog. I called my dad in the dream, as my mom drove on this wide road, with no trees besides like 3 dead ones. in the dream i asked my dad what was wrong with the sky he said there might be a tornado. i simply replied, then me and mom will meet u at work and we can watch the tornado. in the dream the tornado then appeared. I knew it was just a dream. i asked my mom "is this a dream" she replied, no. i decided to ignore the tornado on the side of the roade any way. we continued to drive to my dads work, the mountains larger than usual (this took place in my town) we could see our house from my dads work which isnt true in reality. We saw a tornado passing by.
at one of the mansions there was a dog. my mom told me to go play with the dog with my dog (i dont have a dog in real life either, and in the dream the dog was fake, like a toy) and so i went over to the dog and started playing with it. in the dream i knew the story behind that dog, it was born from a human and dog and had an extra chromosome (someone in the dream, maybe it was my inner self who told me that. i woke up after that.. it was 7:09 am and all of that happened in the matter of 9 minutes.
and in the backround the whole time was depressing, slow, melodic music. it reminded me of
