What damage is caused by thunder?

Answer 1

Many times when storm damage occurs to buildings, trees or other objects, people automatically say it was a tornado.But in most years, thunderstorm winds cause more damage, and thunderstorms are more frequent than tornadoes. In addition, property and crop damage can be more severe from thunderstorm winds than from tornadoes. Thunderstorms winds can exceed 100 mph.The most frequently encountered type of damaging straight-line wind in a thunderstorm is that associated with the leading edge of the rain-cooled outflow, known as the gust front. Although most thunderstorm outflow winds range from 30 to 50 mph, on occasion these winds can exceed 100 mph. Downburst-producing storms often give little advance indications of the imminent danger on weather radar or to the spotter, so warnings are difficult to issue.To be safe from strong thunderstorm winds, go inside a sturdy building, but stay away from windows that could break. If available, get to a basement or underground shelter.Large hail and flooding rains may accompany strong winds, so be alert to these dangers, also. Stay informed about the weather at all times.
