What Can Be Done To Stop Destructive Tornados ?

"Stop building above ground cities..."

Taxcutter says:
Good idea. The digging is easy in Oklahoma and the water table is usually hundreds of feet down. All you have to do is get the drainage right.

The old boy who bought an old missile silo out in Kansas looks like a genius. Even an F4 won't faze a structure made to stand up to nuclear blasts.

 

might just be me but I don't figure life will ever be completely safe. You ain't gonna stop mother nature

 

How about not rebuilding homes right back in the same path of one that is supposedly the "worst one ever".

 

no.way

cat 5 hurricanes are 150-175 mph

f-5 has speeds of 261-318 mph

an f-6 (inconcievable tornado) 319-379 mph

no.way a building can stop that.

 

Clearly, the answer is massive tax increases on the income of those not rich and elite enough to shelter their wealth and new income in tax sheltered investments.

That is ALWAYS the answer.

 

That's a gamble. If Christianity turns out to be true, bashing it would probably pizz God off and that would most likely not be a very practical strategy for stopping destructive tornadoes.

 

i'm not saying that it would still function as a buliding, but 4 concrete walls would still be standing up and not laying on you...assuming you're not sucked out the roof or thru what us to be a window.

 

This meathead blames the GOP and Global Warming.

Of course forty years ago they were caused by Global Cooling.

Since Democrat Senators seem to think weather events are evidence of Global Warming (which requires ruinous increases in taxation and regulation to address) then weather events such as this are evidence that AGW is hogwash.

But this will keep you alive. From yesterday, in OK

 

Wow!!! Now there's a testimony to family responsibility and being prepared.

 

Since these things happen when the air is hot and cold why not figure out someway to neutralize the air to one solid temperature at the onslaught?

 

Here are some guaranteed tornado-proof properties on the market.

Seriously, tornado-prone states like Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas should have state banking laws making it easier to get mortgages on "unconventional" underground buildings.

 

that's pretty much destroyed....

 

Look at this map and caption:



Paths: This map shows the paths of tornadoes over the years in the Moore, Oklahoma area, with red showing the May 3rd, 1999 tornado path; blue the May 8th, 2003 tornado path and green the May 20th, 2013 tornado path You can see how a portion of the 2013 storm (green) overlaps the 1999 storm (red), which was an F5 tornado that did around 1.1 billion dollars in damage. 36 people died in that storm and 8,000 homes were badly damaged or destroyed.

Yep. That green 1999 F5 had the highest wind speeds ever recorded on the planet - depending on sources, between 302 and 318 mph - at Bridge Creek, Oklahoma (about where that Interstate 44 sign is shown, west of Newcastle..

 

Those states are run by Republicans...who won't even provide funds for shelters in schools.

 

Informative post. I bet people learn a lot from you.

 

"...provide funds for shelters in schools..."

All the money got eaten up by public employee pensions and free stuff.

 

a twister can throw a 2x4 up to 200 MPH. that's what kills. falling and flying debris

one of many available. should be a code. not an option

For years around here the Dumocrats have been systematically destroying the well built schools with fallout shelters under them and replacing them with substantially less robust structures.

When is the last time you saw one of these signs....



... on a new school building?


The old school buildings were built as solid as a bomb shelter, because they actually were bomb shelters.

 

sure, the rain would suck, but your house wouldn't be scattered over 4 counties after a direct hit or on top of you after a near miss. that counts for something.

 

Wrong. Climate Change was used as early as 1956; the two terms mean different but not unrelated things.

...Oh, added bonus: Frank Luntz, GOP advisor, recommended that FOX and the GOP use Climate Change instead of Global Warming back in 2002.

Said literally nobody ever. The claim is simply that anthropogenic CO2 emissions have become the primary driver of climate, as CO2 has long been shown to be the primary driver of climate.

Clown.

 

if a 'shelter' is destroyed, that is not "giving an f-5 a run for it's money" like you said. Plus, it exposes you to all the flying debri that is what kills people during tornadoes.

no building can withstand an f-5. You just have to hope it misses you. but since an f-5 can be 2 miles wide.... that's tough.

 

these aren't stick built homes with some concrete plastered on the wall, they're more like WWII pillboxes with slightly thinner walls....a saferoom with more than one room.

you count success as having A/C still working, i count success as not dying because your neighbor's lawnmower came in one end and went out the other.
