"Look out! A whole tire flew right at the back of your head!" That quote might be a little intense, but it could happen. The natural disaster that could cause this is a horrifying tornado. About 60 people die from debris torn off and released by tornadoes every year. 60 people may not seem like much out of 351 million, but they are people not statistics. To survive these horrible disasters, you would need to prepare, know how to get through it, and afterwards, clean up is mandatory since natural disasters do not clean up after themselves.
Preparation is the most important event that should take place at any time. If you are watching the news before a big thunderstorm, and you see that your county is even on tornado watch while

The tornado is here! Get everyone inside and brace for impact! Everyone should be balled up against and facing an inside wall that does not connect to the outside unless you want it torn off and want to fly away with it. The whole family should keep quiet and listen until no one hears anymore crashing or rumbling outside. The adults should get up first to check if the coast is clear. If it is, it would be safe for anyone else to get up.
In the hopes that your house is not completely destroyed, there will most likely be some clean up to do. There are usually a few trees down in the yard, so they need to be sawed up and saved for firewood. The little branches should be picked up, put in a fire and burned when the pile is dry. A while shelter might even be completely flipped upside down in your front lawn, so get a front-end loader to pick it up and put it in a big trash trailer.
In conclusion, you would need to prepare and have the knowledge and skill to at least survive when a tornado rips through the neighborhood. Also, repairing the multiple damages and cleaning up after the storm would get your house and landscape looking as good as new. With this information, I leave you in the hopes that you will be able to survive any tornado that comes your

A tornado watch when issued is just a reminder that the weather does have the potential to produce a tornado and that caution should be used when traveling and doing outdoor activities. However, when a tornado warning is issued this is a warning to take cover in a cellar, basement or other safe places; away from windows and other places where one may be harmed.
Tornadoes can tear apart buildings, cars, forests, and can kill numerous people. In the U.S. alone, tornadoes cause 70 fatalities and 1,500 injuries on average annually (“Tornado Facts And History”). A tornado swept through Yellowstone in the late 1980’s which left a path of destruction up and down a 10,000-foot mountain (“Tornado Facts”).
Each tornado differs, but they do have some common patterns to their travel and types of damage, which allow for a set of general predictions and precautions. In the interest of the preservation of life and property and to reduce the destructive effect of tornado pressures and flying debris, we have developed the following procedure.
Stay inside and go where there are no windows are. Find a basement or closet to stay in with no windows. If there is a flood turn off power at main breaker or if you do not want to I would go out of the storm where it is safe.

I feel that my community is adequately prepared for this type of disaster. Tornado sirens as a long with emergency alerts are tested to ensure they are properly working. Schools participate in multiple tornado drills preparing students if this event should ever happen. The media releases tornado watches along with warnings when weather conditions are appropriate. There is also a booth set up at the shocking County fair to provide information and educate individuals and families on proper steps when an emergency such as a tornado may arise (Emergency Management Agency, 2009). I feel there is a lot of information out there and many individuals are aware to take cover in a shelter, and take the siren seriously when not performed during a specific testing

For it to be an F0 it would have very little damage done, F1 would be minor damage, F2 your roof would be gone, F3 the walls would be down, F4 the house would be blown down, and for it to be an F5 everything would be blown down and you would have no house, and it would be in pieces. If you ever come to a tornado and it’s a F5, I suggest you get in cover and if you ever do, which you probably won’t because those types of tornados are really sacred, but they do happen once in a while. I would have some food and drinks packed up and already happening because they could come at any times and they could last for hours and no one wants you to die from starvation, or dehydration. I would also put a first aid kit together in case that someone gets hurt from glass or something else. You would also need blankets and pillows and get under those, I know it might not be the safest, but it would probably protect you in glass comes flying in from the
Hurricanes and tornadoes are both severe weather events that can potentially cause a great deal of damage to property. Both of these storms can threaten human life and in severe events with either a hurricane of a tornado there may well be a loss of life. They may be quite different in how they form and what they actually do but on the other hand those storms are both potentially devastating so they fall into the same category of potential severe weather danger. People who live in areas where hurricanes and tornadoes are known to appear during certain seasons of the year are always urged to be alert to weather warning systems. Those same residents know from experience to keep their radios tuned to weather emergency stations and they are in many cases prepared for the brunt of a storm by building basement shelters.
