Is it possible for a person to survive a Hurricane if they are sucked into it? (Read Description)?

Question

I dont mean anything like "yes just hide under a table" I mean if a person was physically pulled up into a hurricane.

I dont know much about geography or hurricanes but if this person was pulled into a hurricane and had a tank of air, breathing equipment and a parachute of some kind, would they be able to survive a hurricane?

How much debri would be in the hurricane? Too much to make this even slightly possible? Or is it possible at all?

Interested to know! Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes it could possibly happen because you can hold on to something near you but if you don't have anything to hold on to use your strengh to reach out to safety. and stay come because there is a way for you to be safe

Answer 2

Don't try it.  I don't think you'd get "sucked into it", but the winds are very strong, with all kinds of debris being blown about.  If you're outside during a hurricane, you could get seriously hurt or killed.

Answer 3

Hurricanes aren't tornadoes, there is no "funnel" as such for someone to be sucked into to. The core of a hurricane, incidentally, is the point of calm in a hurricane.

Answer 4

A hurricane isn't like a tornado.  They don't suck you in.  The winds are blowing horizontally.  Tornadoes can exist within hurricanes.  And there are reports of people being sucked into a tornado in tornado alley and blown far away from where they were picked up and survived, although with injuries sustained.  

Answer 5

Why don't you buy a parachute and find out

Answer 6

You may be confusing a hurricane with a tornado. I don't think you can get sucked into a hurricane like that. The center of a hurricane, called the eye of the storm, is actually very very calm.
