Storm chasers recorded a powerful tornado in Chickasha, Oklahoma southwest of Oklahoma City. Authorities say a woman died when a tornado hit a mobile home park there, while a dozen people were injured, and hundreds were displaced. (May 25)

I wonder what makes people in Florida live in Florida, inspite of the hurricanes, storms and continous loss of life? There must be a core driving factor…?

What does the american government do about the destroyed houses due to the tornadoes. Do the government pay for new houses? Or are the americans supposed to pay a tax to the government for natural disasters? Sorry, I’m not american so I cannot really understand how americans get by while they have their houses destroyed. How long does it take to start living normally again?

Personal experiences are welcome =)

Monday was a classic storm chasing day in south central Nebraska as multiple tornadoes hit Hamilton and York counties. We have put together this compilation video from several of our StormChasingVideo.com freelance chasers to show the power and the beauty of the violent tornadoes in Nebraska on Monday. In the first part of the video was shot by Meteorologist Brandon Ivey who is with the TIV or Tornado Intercept Vehicle for Discovery Channels TV show “Storm Chasers”. The video shows some extreme close up tornado footage including one scene where a train is hit by the tornado. The tornado then moves across a road about a quarter mile in front of them while picking up and destroying buildings and power lines in its path. The tornado moved off into a farm field as the TIV crew continued to keep with the storm At one minute and thirty six second into the video, it show the footage from Eric Treece who caught the Bradshaw,NE tornado from near the beginning of its life cycle and continued to chase it until it roped-out or dissipated. The footage by Eric Treece shows a classic tornado that is back lit by as it rips up a farm field. At one point it passes right behind a farm but does not destroy the buildings. Eric keeps on chasing the tornado after it passed by his location until it dissipated. Tony Laubach continues the video at the two minute and fifty four second mark of the video with the tornadoes from Pleasanton, NE. Tony’s video starts with amazing up close footage of a …

Hi, I’ve done photography for 5 years, and have my own equipment and lighting to shoot high key, and regular studio photography.
However, I am a nursing student, and I’ve just gotten out of classes for the semester. I do not have a studio of my own, but I shoot free lance for a set charge occasionally.

My family lives in Joplin, I grew up there. Though I don’t know any of the dead, I do know that my aunts church as destroyed, and so were the homes of several acquaintances.

I read an article about a lady who volunteered her photography services and had ALL proceeds go to Tuscaloosa Alabama tornado victims (ironically, she was from Joplin). I would like to do the same for the people of Joplin. I probably know more people in Joplin than I do here in Fort Worth though. I know some of the people in my church choir, but that’s about it. I’m not a bad photographer, and I have the equipment. I just don’t want to sound needy for attention. All I would need is 1 room on a Sunday afternoon and a small blurb in the bulletin about a charity photoshoot that would benefit a Charity that is helping Joplin currently (like convoy of hope).
I’ve been going for almost a year, but it is a big church. I know the music minister, but not the pastor. Who should I talk to if anyone? Or should I just forget about it? I think that it’s a decent idea, and I know how I can pull it off. I don’t mind donating a day or more of my time in photoshoots as long as some money goes to the charities that are helping those affected by this years storms that are in need. What do you think? Should I go for it, or just forget about it?! Thanks!
FTR, since I outright OWN all of the equipment needed, I plan on digitally delivering all photos at no extra charge. No printing necessary. I will send a copyright release, and their print at full resolution. All I ask is that they make a donation to Convoy of Hope or another organization that is working hard at helping Joplin.

A tornado has leveled parts of Joplin Missouri. 117 deaths confirmed so far. Joplin was a town of 50000 people.

Blondy came in Thursday evening with a nice cut on her leg. In the five years I’ve had her she has not been injured. My bf has had her since she was two, she is now 11, and she was treated like a cow, basically sprayed some furason on and let her go. Her cut does not look bad but I know from the swelling their is more than meets the eye. She let me cold hose it once, but won’t let me clean it and barely lets me put ointment on it. This was from the storms that rolled through, we had golf ball and quarter size hail, tornado warnings and swirling clouds, so I left them out. Do not lecture me on that my horse was the only one out years ago when tornadoes came through and the only one to survive when the barn collapsed. I have cleaned and taken care of countless counts on countless horses including a car accident victim. I know how to clean it but have never had a horse so wimpy. She won’t let me get near it now without her lashing out at me. If i try to cold hose she starts to rear, and lash out. It is getting dangerous for her and me. Any ideas? She is actually not lame at all, which is surprising given how swollen and hot it is.
Pics of wound and swelling.

Front view shows the swelling in her front right leg other is of the wound which really doens’t look like much but the top might me deep but I have no idea. Any ideas on cleaning a wound on a horse with no pain tolerance?
Its not infected, yet. She has let me clean it once and it was not there wednesday and there on thursday. It has not had time to get infected. I have been fighting with her cleaning it so i know its not infected yet but if she continues with her attitude it likely will get infected.

This is a sample of my Hurricane Wilma storm chase video. The footage was taken during the peak of the storm on the Southwest Florida coast in Belle Meade, near Marco Island. Peak winds occur after the lull, associated with the passage of the storm’s eye, and are near 100mph with gusts to 120mph.

I wonder what makes people in Florida live in Florida, inspite of the hurricanes, storms and continous loss of life? There must be a core driving factor…?

Ok so I live in Louisville KY and we have always had severe weather but I have NEVER been in a tornado. I live in the Ohio Valley so Tornados aren’t too common and I have never really been worried. But now that I have a child I am for some reason terrified of the thought of a tornado! We’re suppose to be having serious storms tonight that could produce tornados and my question is, is my basement that I have to walk outside to get into, safe? It’s underneath the house but I have to walk out the back door to get into it. The door isn’t secure at all and can’t lock from the inside. It’s also un-finished and not big at all. Now my house is old and brick. The basement walls are 5 feet of concrete so I feel like thats a very good thing. My fear would be that the door could fly open and then we get ripped out of the basement or something! I don’t understand why I am so terrified. I guess because before I only had to worry about my own life but now I have a child I have to worry about as well!!! Any reassurance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hurricane Ivan was a classic, long-lived Cape Verde hurricane that reached Category 5 strength three times during its lifespan. Ivan caused tremendous damage as it crossed Grenada, the Cayman Islands and made landfall near the Alabama/Florida border. Maximum sustained winds at landfall in the US are estimated at 120mph with gusts to 140mph, Category Three intensity. At landfall, the storm’s minimum central pressure was 946mb (27.94in). This video also includes some behind-the-scenes footage from the National Hurricane Center including clips of my good friends and hurricane forecasters, Lixion Avila, Jack Beven, Max Mayfield (the center’s director at that time)… as well as another good friend, Monroe County ex-Civil Defense Director Billy Wagner. Also in the background is Florida Governor, Charlie Crist.

The government will not allow a manufacturer to make a product claim if:

A. The evidence they use to back up the claim is based on research that has not been reviewed by other scientists and shown to be reproducible.
B. The evidence used to back up the claim is free from any bias.
C. The manufacturer cannot provide evidence that there is no other product out there that can make this claim.
D. The manufacturer has not filed the proper forms and paid the fee.

Which scientific tools, or technologies, could help governments set policies and procedures to follow during a natural disaster?

A. Medicines and Satellite Imaging
B. Satellite communication devices and emergency response equipment
C. Scientific models and medicines
D. Scientific models and satellite technology

Select the scenario that best illustrates how science can benefit society.

A. After Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast area, there were many hazardous spills. Government asked scientists for their help cleaning up the spills. Scientists used techniques that quickly eliminated the hazard and risks to the people and the environment.
B. After Hurricane Katrina hit, there were people stranded in the city. The roads were down and the water was still rising from the broken levees. Satellite towers were destroyed and land lines were out so there was no way for the people to communicate that they needed help.
C. Scientists all over the world use satellite imaging to evaluate large storms. The satellite data that they gathered from Hurricane Katrina was combined with the data that they gathered from the hurricane hunter planes and entered into the scientific computer model to classify the storm.
D. Scientists make all kinds of predictions. Some of these predictions relate to extreme weather events. Every year some of these predictions come true but others do not. It is hard for people to know when to trust a prediction.

If you were asked for an example of how science helps government set policies and procedures, a correct response could be:

A. At times, governments rely on scientists to determine if an action is right or wrong so they can set laws about the action.
B. At times, governments rely on scientists to make predictions that can help them decide how to react in times of emergencies.
C. In the past, governments depended on scientists to give them scientific data so they could determine the truth about religious beliefs.
D. In the past, governments have relied on scientists to provide information on the safety of certain superstitions so they could choose which ones to allow.

which example best shows how scientific discoveries benefit society in times of disaster?

A. Advances in science have lead to important medical discoveries which can be used to treat illnesses.
B. Scientific models help scientists predict the path of storms.
C. Scientific study has enabled scientists to learn more about disease.
D. Scientists depend on technology to learn more about the universe.

A manufacturer ran advertisements claiming that the competition’s product did not work. They ended up getting in trouble with the government because:

A. They did not run ads for their own product.
B. They did not have enough scientific evidence to support their claim.
C. They failed to disclose information.
D. They participated in product disparagement.

Joe Bastardi from accuweather keeps hyping away and still 18-21 storms this year. NHC has some sense and took their numbers down to 14-20 instead of 14 to 23 named storms. Here we are almost to september and we’ve only had 5 storms, (1 hurricane, 2 storms and 2 depressions). What are we going to see for the rest of the season. I imagine JB is very wrong even though you never know.
and a record quiet August as far as storms and hurricanes.
