Have you ever had a situation similar or the same as rain in your back yard and none in the front?

Asked by If about 7 years ago

Yup! Not too crazy. The rain has to start and stop someplace, why not over your house?! Thanks!

why is hurricane Irma going to make a right turn towards Florida ? why not just continue north west between cubs and Florida ?

Asked by lloyd over 8 years ago

Good question, Boyd. When we talk about a high pressure ridge and low pressure trough you can think about those like a hill and valley in the atmosphere. Irma is moving around the edge of the mountain (high) since it can't climb it and the computer forecast models are showing a valley (low) to the north of Florida so it will move to flow toward the valley (downhill). Still some very limited chance for changes, stay tuned.

We recently had a PVC waterline that “exploded” 3 feet underground during a bad thunderstorm. A tree near the line was struck then our water was lost. The pipe was found to have ruptured in 3 separate spots. Can lightning travel like this?

Asked by KCR over 7 years ago

So sorry about that! Yes, lightning can travel many feet away from the strike point as the energy dissipates. The explosion could have been a pressure build-up from the water boiling rapidly and increasing the pressure, the bolt can reach 50,000 degrees. https://www.weather.gov/safety/lightning-science-ground-currents

Why did the siren sound change form a long wail to shorter wails?

Asked by sdafdf about 7 years ago

Siren choice is up to each municipality. You might check with your local county emergency management office. Thanks!

We tried measuring the amount of rain using many different sized containers. We brought our containers inside and measured the rain using a measuring cup and everyone collected a different amount of rain! Any tips for an accurate way to measure rain?

Asked by Mrs. Dumond's Class over 9 years ago

I think I would do a search for rain gauge and buy one. It needs to be calibrated for the opening and bucket size. Have fun!
