Let's estimate. If the storm creates .2 inches of rain fall over a 10 square mile area, then the volume is 10 x 5280 x 5280 x 12 x 12 x 0.2 x (2.543) = 131571396005.0688 cm3 of rainwater. Assuming that each cm3 is the equivalent of 20 rain drops, then there are 2631427920101.376 raindrops. Since this is an estimate, let's round to 2630,000,000,000 raindrops.
Ice pellets, also known as sleet, are small balls of frozen raindrops. They form when rain freezes while falling through a layer of below-freezing air near the surface. As the frozen raindrops are carried up and down in a storm cloud, additional layers of ice can accumulate on them before reaching the ground.
Hurricane is to storm as cirrus is to cloud.
A cloud that indicates a storm is approaching is a cumulonimbus cloud. It is a large, dense cloud that forms due to strong upward air currents and is known for causing thunderstorms and severe weather. Cumulonimbus clouds are often characterized by their towering, anvil-shaped appearance.
Raindrops become charged through a process called charge separation, which occurs in storm clouds. As water droplets collide with each other and ice particles within the cloud, electrons can be transferred, leading to an imbalance of positive and negative charges. This charge separation causes the upper regions of the cloud to become positively charged while the lower regions become negatively charged. When the electrical potential difference becomes large enough, it can result in lightning or static discharge as the charges seek to equalize.
Yes, hail is a form of solid precipitation that consists of balls or lumps of ice. Hail is created when raindrops are carried into colder regions of a storm cloud and freeze into ice pellets before falling to the ground.

If you could build a form of RADAR that is able to bounce signals off the raindrops inside a storm cloud then you could detect storms by RADAR
A storm cloud can get taller when you tie it with a candy floss.

The storm cloud is in Laughing Springs. It's just right next to the seashell bridge!

When a storm develops into a tornado, it is typically associated with a type of cloud called a supercell. Supercells are large, rotating thunderstorms that have the potential to spawn tornadoes due to the strong updrafts and wind shear within the storm.
