Yes, to a limited degree. There have been a number of cases of people of have taken cover in ditches and only suffered minor scrapes while their cars were carried away.
Yes. Slave gangs did most of the laying of track in the South.
To find out how many people are needed to dig the ditch in 12 days, we first calculate the total work needed in terms of person-days. The total work is 7 people × 8 days = 56 person-days. If the ditch needs to be dug in 12 days, we divide the total work by the number of days: 56 person-days ÷ 12 days = approximately 4.67 people. Since you can't have a fraction of a person, you would need at least 5 people to complete the work in 12 days.
Laying pipe.
The queen bees do not do work, besides laying eggs.
To find out how many people it would take to dig the ditch in half a day, we first calculate the total amount of work in "person-days." If 7 people can complete the work in 8 days, that amounts to 7 people × 8 days = 56 person-days. To complete the work in half a day, you would need 56 person-days ÷ 0.5 days = 112 people. Therefore, it would take 112 people to dig the ditch in half a day.
It is impossible to know when the "next tornado" or other weather event will be anywhere. Weather forecasts don't work that way.
Doppler radar is able to measure wind speed within a storm. If the radar detects a small portion of a storm with strong winds traveling in opposite direction, it means there is intense rotation which may be a precursor to the tornado or even the tornado itself. This can allow us to see a tornado ahead of time and warn people so they can get to safety. Some mobile doppler radar can yield high resolution data from within the tornado itself, allowing us to learn more about its internal dynamics and how tornadoes work.
if u can ditch school and get away with it yes
The openting windows myth is based on the idea that the low pressure inside a tornado causes houses, where pressure remains high, to explode and that opening windows equalizes pressure. This does not work for several reasons: It is wind and debris in a tornado that causes damage, not the pressure difference.The pressure difference created even inside a violent tornado is a fraction of what is needed to cause significant damage.Houses are not airtight, even with the windows closed.A tornado strong enough to cause major damage will create plenty of openings and break the windows anywayIn a weak tornado or a glacing blow, opening windows exposes the interior to strong winds, which can cause damage inside as well as outside.
it helps in laying out the work accurately
News articles don't seem to say, but given the time of day that the tornado hit Henryville, there is a good chance he was at work.
Seek shelter. In a structure with a basement or cellar, shelter there. In a structure with no basement or cellar, find an interior room on the main floor away from windows; old cast iron bathtubs are best. If you are out in the open, shelter in a deep ditch, or at the top of the incline under an overpass; storm culverts that do not have water rushing through them work well too.
