I mean, do they just get sucked up into all the flying debris and die, or do they know that something is about to happen and then hide?

I know they are smart enough to go underground like a culvert in cold winters in order to stay alive. This is what enables them to repopulate so quickly each spring. If they got that figured out, they probably also figured out the rain and wind.

You are probably thinking about the terrific wind while the mosquitoes likely must worry about the terrific rain. The fast driven rain drops should clear them out of the atmosphere and drown most. But then all the standing water would likely breed a lot of mosquitoes that would have been lost if the nymphs got too dry and they could make a comeback, stronger than ever.

Very good question. I don't think mosquitoes are as smart as other living organisms, hence they can't sense anything. Then again, if they're smart enough to find ways without our knowledge to suck our blood, they might have some instinct in them. I don't know, I'm just guessing.

they get sucked in and die because really, if cars and houses get sucked into a hurricane, then why would mosquitoes escape it?

I dunno, but I do know they don't go far enough. :-)
