HURRICANE AS ENERGY TO SURVIVE

The large amount of hurricanes, which happen every year, is a huge disaster. By mapping the routines of the hurricane, we can find that the hurricanes very concentrate on certain area. That means this area will repeatedly encounter hurricane every year. Although compared to big earthquake, the death caused by hurricanes might not be considerable; the wealth spent on repeatedly repairing or even rebuilding homes is even larger than big earthquake. Also hurricanes will cause big wind and rains, which on one hand destroy the local infrastructure such as electricity towers, water supply, which will influence the life during hurricanes, on the other hand, will retard or even stop the outside aiding by damaging the roads. Therefore what can we do with the hurricanes? Is there any possibilities that the hurricane can provide help to survive during the disaster?

So what if in the case, I make a box represent the low rise house in fishing village. The reason I choose low rise house in fishing village is that, first fishing village always locates front line area of hurricanes tracks, secondly house in fishing village is always low-rise has a shallow foundation which is more vulnerable to hurricanes. There is a huge wind turbine on each box. When hurricane comes, wind turbine rotates which move the box to the underground. In this way, houses will not be destroyed by hurricane. Rain always comes with hurricanes; rain will be collected as drinkable water. Also wind turbine can continuously generates electricity during hurricane. In this way, this box gains water and electricity, which is the very basic element for living, from hurricane.
