What are some of the jobs that involves investigating natural disasters. I want to know jobs that involve investigating hurricanes, tornadoes and cyclones. Like a meteroligist. PLEASE DONT SAY A STORM CHASER. something scientific. Thanks.

my parents are up and down but im not sure anymore i dont wanna work to pack up my yard and set up my basement for a "sleepover" if we arent gonna get anything we already spent hundreds in supplies (food, a generater, and a chainsaw idk y a chainsaw) so will it hit if so what time and day, what catagory will suffolk get wind and rain and thuder? i kinda want it to ome but my dad made us pack cuz "hurricanes cause tornados then get in the basement" so now i got a bag of m fave stuff in the basement with the generator beds, tv and a fridge filled with 100s in food

I need help!

Im doing a Hurricane Project for TX History and I really dont know what to do.

So Far all I have is this:

The time of year is here. Hurricane Season. Except, this may be the strongest hurricane Galveston has ever experienced. Hurricane Celenia is on its way! Officials say that Hurricane Celenia is a category 5 at the moment, but may change to a category 4 when it hits dry land. Winds will be up to 154 MPH. The Hurricane was located at 86 latitude and 23 longitude October 2, 2009, and is planning to hit Galveston October 12, 2009 at 2:42 am

I need help.
Come someone help me?

I live in Orlando and they are obsessing about this tropical storm Fay and it’s hardly even as bad as the thunderstorms we get. I know it’s worse if you live by the ocean but I feel they go overboard with it sometimes. I was born and raised here and a lot of the time they do exaggerate things. It seems like the media gets excited about hurricanes or tropical storms.

Alrighty, I’ll be creating topics within the next few months basically every time something stronger than a tropical wave (storms or hurricanes) poses a serious threat to Barbados. I might do it also within the other Caribbean countries depending on how much i like the particular island.

I’m not a meteorologist nor am i a God. So please listen to bulletins regular along and our local meteorologist. The info i put up is subject to errors and flaws and is not intended to be used as a safety bible. I’m however gonna interpret what i see on weather maps, computer simulators, provide links and give the best possible advice i could.

I’ll advice everyone though to find out who’s in charge of your zoning area for the district emergency organisations just incase of an emergency you would know where to go and who to contact..

Also Subscribing to www.barbadosweather.org a good idea it sends u live updates of when the island is under a flood watch, hurricane watch etc and it also sends you updates every time the weather changes. *which is pretty damn regular* so beware of alot of emails.

It’s an informative post so if anyone have any questions feel free to ask me.
Nice article Adela
To voting it goes!!!

if hurricanes were in short supply and it needed to look like a natural disaster?…something really big that would cause a lot of deaths and panic the population…
maybe even something that put the regime in charge of medicine, food, water, utilities, industry, travel, trade, communications, media, fuel……..and such.
and would cause an immediate need for a civilian army.
and if it was planned. would it have a better chance if it started somewhere out of that democracy’s control where it could get a good head of steam up first?

Sorry about the length, but a lot of people won’t click on links. This sounds like a cover-up to me - your thoughts?

The Environmental Protection Agency is stifling a report hostile to the agency’s global warming agenda, a free-enterprise group revealed.

The EPA is keeping the report under wraps and silencing its author because the Obama administration is pressuring it to support carbon dioxide regulations, according to the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy group dedicated to the principles of free enterprise and limited government.

The suppressed report warns that the EPA’s adoption of the United Nations’ 2007 “Fourth Assessment” means that it is relying on outdated research and ignoring major new developments on the issue of climate change.

The enterprise institute, which released the report by analyst and economist/physicist Alan Carlin, explained that those new developments include the continued decline in global temperatures, a new consensus that hurricanes will not be more frequent or intense, and new findings that water vapor will moderate, rather than exacerbate, temperature.

Other new data indicates that ocean cycles probably are the most important single factor in explaining temperature fluctuations, though solar cycles may play a role as well, the institute said. Moreover, reliable satellite data undercut the likelihood of endangerment from greenhouse gases.

All of this demonstrates that the EPA should analyze the science independently, rather than just adopt the conclusions of outside organizations such as the United Nations, the institute said.

The institute’s general counsel, Sam Kazman, explained its release of the report by saying, “While we hoped the EPA would release the final report, we’re tired of waiting for this agency to become transparent, even though its administrator has been talking transparency since she took office. So we are releasing a draft version of the report ourselves."

do you love or hate hurricanes? what do you do when a hurricane hits? do you have to evacuate? any hurricane stories/experiences? ever had any severe hurricane damage to property?

I live off the Gulf in FL and I live for hurricanes! I hope every year that we get one. and when we do, I play in it for hours or hang out at the beach! I live in a non-evactuated zone, but I also go to a shelter and then leave a few hours into the storm to go home (they get mad at me).
I think my favorite storm was hurricane Charley though. I was at Busch Gardens on Montu ( a roller coaster) a few hours before it was supposed to hit. It was so windy and rocking the ride so much, that they had to close the park and secure the area. It was fun though!
the power at my house usually goes out during a hurricane (and wont come back on for a few days), and theres a few trees/debri that are all over the street, but no really severe damage. MY church however, had some damage. The sign came down and we had to fix up the roof and buy some new windows.
but even though theres damage and danger, and my parents argue with me, I still LOVE hurricanes and continue to go out in them.

President Bush can create and control hurricanes. He dictates the supply and price of oil worldwide. He forces people not to work, not get an education, skill or training. He makes people sign bad loans they can’t afford, invades civilized, God fearing nations, tricks Putin and Russia into invading neighbors, hides billions of barrels of oil in his back yard, controls the stock market, can lie and persuade a Democrat controlled Congress to keep funding a war they disagree with, personally sees to it nobody gets health care, designed and covered up the greatest terrorist attack in American history. Christ had nothing on W’s powers. What’s Obama ever done?
Ummm sorry I didn’t mention it. I;m being factitious

If you type in to google or any conventional search bar "proof that global warming exists" then you will get a host of information and data proving its happening but if you type in "proof that global warming is not happening" or something similar then you will get just as much proof and data proving that it iisn’treal, like that over the past three years the world has cooled and that 2009 had the fewest and smallest hurricanes on record. But if there is so much proof either way then how can i fully believe either of them?
I also have to say its not that i doubt their reliability or that I need more proof one way or another and i can understand what its saying without the need of a science degree. I just Want to know if there is so much proof either way how can you say whole heartedly that "there is no doubt that (point of view) is true".
Jackie did you just copy and paste what Blobbie wrote and add a link?
And not just the internet but movies and book as well.

Science has several basic rules that need to be followed to prove an idea, or theory.

1) The data needs to be repeatable. With "Global Warming" even NASA can’t get their numbers to come out the same when they crunch the numbers as they first had 1998 as the warmest year, then 1934, then 2006. Since the numbers aren’t repeatable, then science dictates that they are not proof of anything.

2) Other scientists need to get the same results. Now that the data has been deleted, there is no way the data can be verified, checked, or repeated by anyone else. Science dictates that all conclusions resulting from these numbers cannot prove any theory.

3) The theory should be tested. 30 years ago, computer models stated that today’s climate temperatures would be 15 degrees warmer than today, there would be more hurricanes and tornado’s, and floods and droughts would ravage the planet on a biblical scale. None of this has happened, yet believers still hold to the position that these computer models are accurate. Science states that if the theory can’t be calculated, then it doesn’t exist.

So why do believers just abandon all scientific principals and believe something that can’t pass basic scientific standards?

Do they have other non scientific motives?

Why is it that when oil drops by or more a barrel the gas prices barely come down. The gas station owners claim that they have "too much supply". Yet when there is even a threat of a hurricane, or a maintenance issue at a oil rig or derrick gas prices jump immediately. Why is this supply suddenly "gone"?

Is this greed on the part of the big oil companies, the local gas stations, or is some kind of collusion going on? Isn’t price fixing illegal?

How come hurricanes didn’t have a major impact on gas prices 10 or 20 years ago? How many people will freeze this winter?

During this weekend in the UK scientist admitted that they manipulated the data, there has not been any warming on the planet since 1995, even the Russians who would benefit from it, their scientist claim it is a bunch of crap. To the lemmings and nut jobs you know who you are the ones that accept the irrational belief that if the weather is cold, hot wet, dry,hurricanes , no hurricanes,snow, no snow, all is attributed to global warming…no wonder liberalism is labeled by some as a mental disorder?http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100020126/climategate-goes-serial-now-the-russians-confirm-that-uk-climate-scientists-manipulated-data-to-exaggerate-global-warming/

well why did Cindy McCain say its time to take off are republican Hats and put on are American Hats and donate to all these charities to help with the Relief of the Hurricanes.

but in other countries he US sends Medical Supplies, food, water, troops. how come they need are money? 10 billion in Irarq a month.
they help other countries, but we have to help our own country.

Wake up!!!!!

Going to Florida for a wedding till mid-August and really scared of hurricanes…Anything to calm me down? How much in advance can you prepare?

And all the plumes of oil get steered around like a huge salad dressing?You know that many of the oil clean up product that have been turned down you can’t retrieve the oil back out of it like a sponge.BP is hoping to still retrieve the oil and us it.When the hurricanes come that will be impossible.Think about this,a hurricane will suck this stuff up and disperse it over land.By Auguste comes it will be a rill big mess and the storms will hamper the use of the relief wells being used.

An English teacher was explaining to his students the concept of gender association in the English language.

He stated how hurricanes at one time were given feminine names and how ships and planes were usually referred to as "she". One of the students raised their hand and asked - "What gender is a computer"?

The teacher wasn’t certain which it was, so he divided the class into two groups, males in one, females in the other, and asked them to decide if a computer should be masculine or feminine. Both groups were asked to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The group of women concluded that computers should be referred to in the masculine gender because:
1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless.
3. They are supposed to help you solve your problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a better model.

The men, on the other hand, decided that computers should definitely be referred to in the feminine gender because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

Is anybody worried about this years hurricane season? Possibly up to 23 hurricanes? It worrys me because it gives the whole gulf coast a greater risk of getting hit by a hurricane. It’s crazy. Ive been thinking about buying hurricane supplies now to be better prepared. I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and I wasen’t prepared for Gustav at all and wasent too worried as it was a landfalling category 2. It ended up being the worst storm to ever hit Baton Rouge and I lost most of my roof in that storm, Along with my bathroom window and the pine trees in my yard. Should I start preparing now for possible storms this year? What are yall doing?

This is raw news footage taken by Miami Television Station WTVJ channel-4 during and after the arrival of Hurricane Betsy, a strong cat.-3 storm which hit South Florida on September 8th 1965. This footage was shot at various locations in and around the Miami-Ft.lauderdal area and the adjacent Beaches.

Dr. Jones whose emails exposed the LIES of the Global Warming Scientist has now admitted that there has been NO WARMING SINCE 1995 and that they left out the MUCH WARMER MEDIEVAL ERA from the famous Hockey Stick Graph which they used to prove man made global warming.

The UN’s IPCC report is continually being revised and claims withdrawn as the science behind them turns out to be NO SCIENCE.

Hurricanes will be more intense - WITHDRAWN - Used 1 year data 2005

Himalayan Glaciers Melting by 2035 - WITHDRAWN - used a student’s essay and a magazine article from 2002.

Rain Forest effected by small changes in rainfall - WITHDRAWN - turns out this came from 2 green peace activist NON-SCIENTIST who used NO RAINFALL DATA.

ARE YOU READY TO START AT LEAST QUESTIONING GLOBAL WARMING???
