Can you think of a time when your house or nearby buildings were damaged by extreme weather? What happened?

Hurricane low Q

·        Highest gust: 134 mph (216 km/h)

·        Damage: £30 million

·        Lowest pressure: 956 mb

·        Areas affected: Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Denmark

·        Casualties: 28 dead (56 injured)

·        Before the hurricane Glasgow’s housing estates were extremely poor

·        Due to the winds, half of  Glasgow’s  140,000 council houses were damaged

1968 Hurricane was a deadly storm that moved through the Central Belt of Scotland during mid January 1968. It was described as Central Scotland's worst natural disaster since records began and the worst gale in the United Kingdom.

House protects against:

Snow

Rain

Wind

Thunderstorms

Materials that help with each weather type:

Rain: you can instal a sump pump.a sump pump is used to remove water that may have entered the home like in a basement , it then pumps it outside of the house. This is normally used in floods.a change we can add to it is if the water does go out side you can direct it to some plans of soil with plant in it so then you can also water things and the water doesn’t go to waste.you could also instead of it just going outside maybe use it to power your electricity instead of using green house gasses.we can do this by hydroelectricity but instead of using water from sea’s we can use the water from the pump.this process can happen in a big pipe.

Damage done by rain: the rain can go through cracks in your roof and other places.

If gutters aren’t functional against heavy rain it can cause an overflow.the water can flow down the walls causing the wood inside the wall start to rot and get moldy.even though wall are designed to repel solace’s and rain drops the continued water will ruin the material to stop the rain.

Solutions: make sure gutters are clean and there are no crack in the roof or anywhere else

Rainfall won’t affect the structure of a building but it can ruin the materials.

Snow:you should insulate your pipes so the pipes don’t freeze of end up bursting.making sure your roof is a quipped to the heavy snow, a good thing to have is a sloped roof so the snow falls off.if you are making a sloped roof make sure the snow slides somewhere where it can melt later and not freeze again fainting the sun.also making sure your house is well insulated is also important so the house stays warm in the cold weather it also prevents you from using to much green house gasses to put your heating up.another thing you can do to keep the cold out is to get double or triple glazed windows.

Wind:A strong gale of wind blows at 47-54 mph and becomes a bigger threat to your home. doors are at risk during hurricane-speed gusts.this is especially true if the doors have glass in them. when winds run over 120 mph It can cause the glass to break.this can also happen with you windows. In most cases your roof will only be cracked or loose some tiles but sometimes you roof can literally blast off.this causes more damage to your house inside and on the part where it holds the roof but people can be crushed by chunk of the roof falling.

Storms can cause fire to trees. It can also make trees collapse on roads, house and electricity wires.bigger pieces of hail stones can break windows and cause dents in cars

Tilted roof - snow will slide off preventing the roof to collapse from extra weight of the snow
If the roof is flat the roof is mostly likely to cave in and damage the building

Solid structure- strong frame means the building will stand through strong winds
If the structure of the building is strong then the building will be less likely to topple over and collapse
If it is stronger at the bottom then  it will be less likely  to topple over
We could do that by inserting beams into the ground

Wind currents -  architects could design buildings with gaps so the wind currents would go over , past or through the building without damaging it
Here is an example of a skyscraper designed to withstand strong wind currents

Electricity wires and pipe - metal pipes could be put over the wires and pipes to keep them protected so that the don’t collapse and break
Metal makes the wires and pipes stronger so that they do not get damaged easily

Crumbling buildings - buildings start to crumble due to severe weather conditions
If the supports are made out of strong materials like metal , then it will prevent the building from toppling over

Floods - buildings topple over and collapse because the supports get water damaged
If the supports are made out of materials that can’t be water damaged then the building won’t come crashing down

Sea levels are rising, temperatures are rising and extreme weather is becoming more likely.

We have to make sure that the roofs are designed to withstand a high intensity of rain fall.this is also important if it snow a lot, which in that case you would have to make sure the roof it tilted so the snow slides off and not pile up.

Making sure your house is well insulated can be good because then you don’t have to use your heating to much which means theirs not a lot of green houses gasses being produced.

Protecting your house from strong winds can be as simple as cutting long branches of any trees near you house so they don’t break later and hit something.you can also check your roof to see if it’s sturdy and thiers no missing tiles.

Wind comes from the southwest so if there’s a way to build a house in away it’s facing away it can help.the wind is stronger when you higher up so places that expect a lot of wind(Glasgow) should possibly build there houses not so high up.since when somthing is taller it often has leaf support unless you put sopporters or ramps at the sides.

Climate change can affect roads, buildings and many types of pipes like sewage pipes.it can also cause telephone wires and electricity lines to collapse or break leaving people with no electricity or ways to contact for help.

Really heavy rain or strong storms can damage the structural support of the building especially if it wasn’t to standers already.when those supporters fall it causes the building to crumble and break because the rest or legs of the building are broken.

Inside the building shelves and every thing on them can collapse breaking any thing valuable.while the building breaks many electrical wires can be cut and in some cases cause a fire making it harder for people to evacuate the building.

The making of buildings or brides can also be delayed because of the bad weather not allowing the camber to harden, ruining the material or it all just gets swept away from the strong winds.

Floods can also occur if the city is near a large area of water.the floods can Make it difficult for people to transport around the city once it’s done and can damage a lot of homes.

Roads can break or have many cracks.Traffic light would collapse.the roads breaking means after many people won’t be able to attend work, school or be able to buy thing they would need.

High brides can collapse or tip over causing every one on the bridge to plummet off.any other buildings around it would also be damaged at the time.

Building can also break and chunk can fall and land on the roads/ground making more cracks or damage.

After the incident city/countries spend slot of time and money repairing or renewing the buildings, school and offices.Only for it all to be wasted when another storm approaches.

Snow can also affect building by clogging the gutters and can cause the gutters to freeze or burst.it can also trap people in there houses when the snow builds up to high.the snow can also make it hard for people who are driving since the roads can become slippery because of the layer of ice.the large amount of snow can prevent people from going to school or work.
