If there's a hurricane in your area and are told to evacuate, leave the area immediately.
If you live in a hurricane prone area, you should have hurricane insurance. People who live in the Midwest do not carry hurricane insurance on their property.
A hurricane watch means conditions are favorable for a hurricane to develop, or if it has developed, it may approach your area. This is when you should start planning on precautions to take should it turn into a hurricane warning. A hurricane warning means one has developed and is predicted to hit your area. This is when you should start taking immediate precautions. For information on what precautions to take during a hurricane, see the related link below.
During hurricane season I would suggest that you have your pets stay with a relative that does not live in an area prone to hurricanes.
If you know that a hurricane is approaching to/near your city and a hurricane warning is also issued and you don't evacuate the area you may get hit by a cyclone and get severely injured or it may even result in death.
Yes. Any hurricane threatening your area is cause for concern. You should never dismiss a hurricane because it does not have a high rating. Category 2 winds can still cause significant damage to homes and the rain from any hurricane can easily cause major flooding.
If a hurricane threatens your area you should leave if there are orders to evacuate before the hurricane is in your area. By the time the hurricane arrives it will likely be too dangerous to go outside.
The center of a hurricane is an area of calm winds called the eye of the hurricane.
The eye of a hurricane is an area of calm clear weather at a hurricane's center.
There is no such thing and never will be. Any hurricane with winds over 156 mph is a category 5, no matter how strong it gets.
No, you should not crack open a window during a hurricane. This can actually increase the destructive force of the storm and put you at risk of injury from flying debris. It's important to stay indoors and take shelter in the safest area of your home during a hurricane.
You should clean up the mess that the hurricane made. :)
yes and no because the area is still hurricane property and a hurricane can happen any second. besides that my friend lives in that area.
