Is an underground parking garage safe if there is a tornado?
An underground parking garage is generally a safer place to be during a tornado than being in an open area, as it provides more protection from strong winds and flying debris. However, there may still be risks such as flooding or structural damage, so it is important to stay informed and follow any safety protocols in place.
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.
What can you do to minimize damage to your home and property during a tornado?
To minimize damage during a tornado, you should have a designated safe room or shelter in your home, preferably in a basement or interior room with no windows. Additionally, securing outdoor furniture, trimming trees and shrubs, and reinforcing your garage door can help reduce potential hazards during a tornado. Stay informed by monitoring weather alerts and have a family emergency plan in place.
What to do with trampoline in hurricane?
During a hurricane, it is best to secure the trampoline by taking it down and storing it in a safe place to prevent it from causing damage or becoming a hazard. Flying debris in high winds can turn the trampoline into a dangerous projectile.
What is the difference between the Saffir-Simpson scale and the Fujita scale?
Answer The original F-scale developed and introduced by Dr. T. Theodore Fujita was a damage scale for winds, including tornadoes, which was supposed to relate the degree of damage to the intensity of the wind. This scale was the result. The original F-scale should not be used anymore, because it has been replaced by an enhanced version. Tornado wind speeds are still largely unknown; and the wind speeds on the original F-scale have never been scientifically tested and proven. Different winds may be needed to cause the same damage depending on how well-built a structure is, wind direction, wind duration, battering by flying debris, and a bunch of other factors. Also, the process of rating the damage itself is largely a judgment call -- quite inconsistent and arbitrary (Doswell and Burgess, 1988). Even meteorologists and engineers highly experienced in damage survey techniques often came up with different F-scale ratings for the same damage. Even with all its flaws, the original F-scale was the only widely used tornado rating method for over three decades. The enhanced F-scale took effect 1 February 2007. The Enhanced F-scale is a much more precise and robust way to assess tornado damage than the original. It classifies F0-F5 damage as calibrated by engineers and meteorologists across 28 different types of damage indicators (mainly various kinds of buildings, but also a few other structures as well as trees). The idea is that a "one size fits all" approach just doesn't work in rating tornado damage, and that a tornado scale needs to take into account the typical strengths and weaknesses of different types of construction. This is because the same wind does different things to different kinds of structures. In the Enhanced F-scale, there will be different, customized standards for assigning any given F rating to a well built, well anchored wood-frame house compared to a garage, school, skyscraper, unanchored house, barn, factory, utility pole or other type of structure. In a real-life tornado track, these ratings can be mapped together more smoothly to make a damage analysis. Of course, there still will be gaps and weaknesses on a track where there was little or nothing to damage, but such problems will be less common than under the original F-scale. As with the original F-scale, the enhanced version will rate the tornado as a whole based on most intense damage within the path. There are no plans to systematically re-evaluate historical tornadoes using the Enhanced F-scale. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/index.html To See the Complete Scale and comparison see this link. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/ef-scale.html To Learn More about Tornados see these links TORNADO INFORMATION http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/tstorms/tornado.htm http://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/ http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/faq/faq_tor.php http://www.srh.noaa.gov/srh/jetstream/tstorms/tstorms_intro.htm http://www.srh.noaa.gov/srh/jetstream/tstorms/tornado.htm http://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/ http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/faq/faq_tor.php http://www.usatoday.com/weather/tornado/wtfaq.htm http://library.thinkquest.org/03oct/00758/en/disaster/tornado.html http://www.hubbard.lib.oh.us/tornado/tornado_faqs.htm http://www.tornadohistoryproject.com/ http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/hazard/ Tornado Climatology http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/briefings/vol2_no3/new_findings.htmlTornados and El Nino / La Nina http://www.spc.noaa.gov/publications/schaefer/el_nino.htm
