it depends on the conditions, if it is not that bad it could take a couple days, if it is really bad, it could take a couple weeks

I'd also ask that you report it to your local National Weather Service office or law enforcement.  You can find your local NWS office by going to weather.gov and clicking on your area.  There should be a link somewhere for storm reports.\n\nThen, go about getting it fixed.\n\nHope it turns out alright,\nGod bless,\nShane

Depends on your connection speed.  It takes 20 min or so on my connection.

I have been through a Tornado. We moved down into the basement. Do they have anything underground in your building? Storage or parking? I would go down as low and you can in the building and stay in a doorway.\n\nIt has been several hours since you posted, I am wondering if everything is ok now.

It is impossible to forecast weather any specific area will be hit "as hard as......"\nor "worst than......"\n\nWe cant do it.  We have medium, and long range forecast models that can give us a "2 weeks notice" of possible severe weather in a REGION (be it a very large region).\n\nThe only other thing we have to go by is large-scale--global--patters, such as ElNino, or LaNina.\n\n*** Bottom Line ***\n\nGET PREPARED, and STAY PREPARED!  Weather you live on the east coast of the US, smack in the middle of Tornado Alley, or anywhere in between....... do it!\n\n\n\nTake care...\nWeather_Wise911

Connection times out. Unless you have cable - I wouldn't leave it idle for longer than 2-3 hours. Shut it down, save the energy and further headache and frustration. :)

depends on your local Internet Service Provider(ISP), but at most it takes 10 second.

lots of things can affect commo, everything there is satalite linked so really bad sandstorms can knock them out.  also your brother is probably in balad.  i was there in a helicopter unit and the power goes out all the time.  send him an email he'll get back to you when he can.  don't call the red cross.

If you turn the power of to your modem and leave it for about 5 mins then switch it back on.

If you get cable or satellite TV, you can see all you want, mostly on The Weather Channel.\n\nCheck TORNADOES entry in blog at http://360.yahoo.com/ki_te_moana for urls to places with lots of tornado info.  Such videos are highly sought after and dangerous to acquire, not likely to be free.  But there are many now in existence.\n\nThey have GOT to be FOR SALE somewhere, but you cannot see how good one is until you view it.\n\nDid you Google 'Tornado Videos for Sale' ???\n\nAlso try 'Kansas Tornado Videos'\n         'Oklahoma Tornado Videos'\n          'Texas Tornado Videos'\n\nThe meteorology professors must use them in class, too.\n\nTherefore, try 'Instructional Tornado Videos'

I live right in tornado alley and some things that we get are flash light, a radio the runs off batteries, blankets, if you don't know how long you are go to have to take cover get some food like that you doesn't need to be refridgerated, you also hhave to have a first aide kit. If yo don't have a basement or storm shelter you may need a matterss, so you can cover yourself with while in a bathtub or a closet.

The tornado picks up tons of debris,and the howling winds\ncreate the most of the sound.\n            Old Fujita Scale:                New Fujita Scale:\nF-0       40-72 mph                           65-85 mph\nF-1      73-112 mph                          86-110 mph\nF-2     113-157 mph                       111-135 mph\nF-3     158-206 mph                       136-165 mph\nF-4      207-259 mph                      166-200 mph\nF-5      260-318 mph                      More than 200 mph
