Answer 2

Thunderstorms and tornadoes are both meteorological events that can produce severe weather. Thunderstorms are large, organized weather systems that can bring heavy rain, strong winds, lightning, and hail. Tornadoes, on the other hand, are violent rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms to the ground. While both thunderstorms and tornadoes can be dangerous, tornadoes are typically more localized and have the potential to cause more significant damage in a concentrated area compared to thunderstorms.
