Hurricane Hazel!! :)

On Friday, October 15th, 1954 hurricane Hazel happened. It went threw the Caribbean and ultimately land on at North Carolina on the mourning of October 15th. Hazel regained strength. The wind was going 100-150 km per hour. It dumped close to 25 centimeters of rainfall in the Toronto  are, causing massive flooding.

Safe as Houses-Research

I was looking through the book until I found out that there was information about the hurricane on one of the last few pages.  The wind was going 100 - 150 km per hour and it rained 25 cm. It was a huge flood! It says that over 4000 people were left homeless! Could you imagine? It also says that 112 people died in the disaster. Houses, supplies and bridges were all washed away in the flood's current. It sounds like a terrible disaster!

The Weather! :O

The weather out side is similar to the weather in my book...last night I was afraid to read it because of all the scary things that are happening to the main characters Elizabeth, David and Suzie.


 Here is some updates on the Thunder Bay flood.

My Opinion

I think that Emily and Ally's structure was the most stable out of everyone else's because it

#1 The building was more stable when the mass was put on the bottom floor rather then the top because the centre of gravity was down lower and that makes things more sturdy.


#2 The centre of gravity moved to the edge of the building when the mass was moved to the top floors because the building was off balance.


#3 When we moved the mass to the edge of the building on the bottom floor it really unstable because it didn't have a wide enough base to level out the mass and keep it sturdy, but when we put it on the top floors it got more stable because the building was quite balanced through out.


#4 The changes that we could make to are building would be to put more straws on the bottom because a wider base would male it so it wouldn't tip as easily.

Other Structures

In your opinion out of all the structures built which building was the most stable at each floor for both tests? Why do you think this is?
