mobile homes increased significantly

NOAA News Online (Story 1105) NOAA Magazine || NOAA Home Page Commerce Dept. MOBILE HOMES AND VEHICLES DEADLY IN TORNADOES March 5, 2003 — Now that spring is here—meteorologically speaking—NOAA reminds Americans to be prepared for tornadoes . Tornadoes occur most often in March through early July, but they can and do occur throughout the year. The number of tornado deaths in mobile homes increased significantly in 2002, totaling more than half of all tornado deaths in the United States, according NOAA. (Click NOAA image for larger view of tornado south of Dimmitt, Texas, taken June 2, 1995. Please credit “NOAA.”) In 2002, a total of 55 people died in tornadoes, 37 of whom were in mobile homes, 12 in permanent homes, four in cars and two outside. In 2001, 40 fatalities were recorded, 11 of those in mobile homes, 18 in permanent homes, six in vehicles, three outside and two in buildings. In 2000, 29 of the 40 tornado deaths, or nearly 78 percent, were in mobile homes, four were in permanent homes, four in vehicles, one was outside and two were in buildings. One reason for the growing rate of mobile home deaths is the increased population in such homes in the past 30 years, according to Harold Brooks, research meteorologist with the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory . The number of mobile homes per capita has grown the most in the Southeast, from Arkansas eastward, except for Florida, which has seen slower growth in mobile homes because of new higher building standards in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. Mobile homes are not safe during tornadoes. The NOAA National Weather Service recommends leaving a mobile home and going to the lowest floor of a sturdy nearby building or storm shelter. “Tornadoes are extremely violent and other than underground there is no good place in a tornado,” said Dan McCarthy, warning coordination meteorologist with the NOAA Storm Prediction Center . “If you can’t get underground, the best place is in the center of a permanent structure.” The NOAA National Weather Service’s aim, he said, is to make sure no one finds themselves in the middle of nowhere with a tornado bearing down on them. However, in that situation, the NOAA National Weather Service recommends abandoning vehicles when a tornado is approaching, and not take cover underneath overpasses. “Vehicles may not be appropriate shelter. We can provide numerous documented cases of vehicles being carried aloft and dropped by tornadoes, and vehicles impaled by flying debris such as 2x4s,” McCarthy said. “We realize when lying in a ditch you are also vulnerable to flying debris, but it may be better to get out of and away from the vehicle and taking cover by placing your hands over your head.” Then NOAA National Weather Service’s safety recommendations were made following a thorough study conducted by Centers for Disease Control epidemiologists in 1979 following the deadly Wichita Falls, Texas, tornado. They found that people in vehicles trying to escape tornadoes became stuck in traffic jams and on dead-end streets. Others were killed when the tornado curved back over them after they thought they had driven to a safe place. The CDC recommended at that time people in motor vehicles should seek shelter immediately upon hearing a tornado warning and should not attempt to drive from the tornado’s path. “Ultimately, it’s up to each person to decide what to do based on their circumstances,” McCarthy said. “Each situation is different, so making an informed decision provides the best chance for survival.” An average of 1,200 tornadoes cause more than $400 million in damage to homes and businesses, schools and churches annually. Considered nature’s most violent storms, peak tornado activity occurs during the months of March through early July. The NOAA National Weather Service, Red Cross, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency recommend the following actions if a tornado warning is issued. In a home or building, move to a pre-designated shelter, such as a basement or interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and away from windows. In a mobile home, even if tied down, seek shelter in a sturdy building. As a last resort, and if no sturdy building is available leave the mobile home and seek shelter in a nearby ditch. Do not stay in the mobile home. If caught outside or in a vehicle, and where no sturdy building is available lie flat in a nearby ditch away from overpasses and vehicles. NOAA measures spring from March 1 through May 31. NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and providing environmental stewardship of the nation’s coastal and marine resources.

" ALAMO PRESS RELEASES ALAMO PRESS RELEASES Return to Alamo Press Releases Index ALAMO ANNOUNCES TENSI AVIATION AS NEW GENERAL SALES AGENT FOR POLAND Traveling to the United States Becomes Easier for Polish Tourists Fort Lauderdale, FL, Oct. 8, 1999 Alamo Rent A Car announced today the appointment of Tensi Aviation as the new General Sales Agent for Poland. General Sales Agents are independent companies designated to represent Alamo Rent A Car in foreign markets when dealing with sales, marketing and reservation activities. "The appointment of Tensi Aviation as our General Sales Agent in Poland is perfect for such an emerging market," said Nick Harwood, senior director, international sales. "We already have a strong relationship with Tensi Aviation and look forward to them assisting us in increasing our profile in this region. Since Tensi has been working with us in Hungary for more than five years, they understand Alamo's commitment to the leisure market and its 'Drive Happy' philosophy," he continued. Alamo's products for the Polish market make renting with Alamo as easy and worry free as possible. For instance, "Alamo Gold" is a product available for North American rentals, which includes collision damage waiver (CDW), extended protection (EP), state/local taxes, airport fees, up to three additional drivers and one tank of fuel. This custom designed leisure product allows renters to get on the road quickly and easily, allowing more time for vacation fun. Polish travelers to the USA and Europe will be able to reserve an Alamo vehicle at competitive rates and receive prepaid reservation vouchers paid for in zloty. Additionally, renters can use their Polish driver's license to rent their cars, thus eliminating the need for an international driver's license - something other rental car companies often require. "We are excited about the prospect of representing Alamo Rent A Car," said Mr. Barna Tarnoczi, Managing Director Tensi Aviation. "Alamo's leisure market commitment corresponds with Tensi's existing network and expertise and I feel confident that we can continue to provide the highest level of service to Alamo customers."

Alamo, which specializes in meeting the needs of leisure travellers, operates the world's largest car rental plaza in Orlando, Florida and is among the largest in many other U.S. sun destinations. Alamo, owned by AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE: AN), currently serves more than 15 million travelers a year through 103 locations in the United States and Canada, and more than 400 international locations in Europe and Latin America. home | about alamo | travel agents | contact us | affiliate program | site map | privacy policy | user agreement © Vanguard Car Rental USA Inc. pdwap01.vanguardcar.com
