mph is miles per hour for anything. What may confuse you is that the winds inside a Hurrican can be blowing 120mph but the EYE of the hurricane is slowly moving ahead at 12mph. Sometimes they express speed, espeically for naval applicartions, in Knots. Knots is a term for Nautical Miles per Hour and is a little faster than MPH. So, yes you could outrun a hurrican if you were driving a car IF you didn't get blown off the road by rotating winds.

Is it safe to be in your car in the garage during a tornado?
No. It doesn't take a very strong tornado to pick up or flip a car. If you are in a car and a tornado is coming you should go to the nearest sturdy building or underground shelter. If no shelter is nearby get out of the car and lie in a ditch or depression.
Is it safe to go in the beach during hurricane season?
For the most part, cruise operators reposition their ships out of hurricane frequented areas during hurricane season. However, all cruise ships operate with safety and comfort in mind. Reviewing weather frequently, itineraries may be adjusted to stay clear of any inbound storms. In some cases, ports of call may be skipped alltogether. You should also pack for rainy conditions during your voyage, as well. Happy Sailing!

Pretend you are driving 55 mph down highway and you notice a bug flying around in your car is the bug flying at 55 mph more than 55 mph or less than 55 mph?
Relative to your car, the bug is travelling at whatever speed the bug normally flies at; this would almost certainly be less than 55mph. Relative to the road, the bug is travelling at 55mph, plus whatever its speed inside the car is: * If the bug were moving from front to back (of the car), it is travelling at slightly less than 55mph; * if moving from back to front, it is moving at slightly more; * if travelling side to side, it is also traveling at slightly more than 55mph - vector addition of velocities shows this; * if staying still inside the car, it is travelling at 55mph.

Who is at fault if it is raining and a car traveling too fast in a parking lot failed to yield to a car that was already backing out?
Really that's kind of hard to answer. My answer might not help, but i think both because the car backing up should be paying closer attention, but the other car shouldn't be traveling so fast in a parking lot so I'm going to go with the car that was car traveling to fast.
