Thunderstorms and Lightning

The destructive power of a tornado is primarily due to its strong winds, which can reach speeds of over 300 mph. Tornadoes can also cause damage through their ability to pick up and hurl debris at high speeds. Additionally, the intense low pressure inside a tornado can lead to structural damage to buildings and infrastructure.

Hail stones are stones that get sweeped up in thunder storms. Then they freeze and turn into Ice which can be slippy so watch wear boots that are not slippy and ones that is good for the snow or wear wellingtons they are good for ice and snow and even the rain never wear trainers cause they can be slippy would then get sweeped along in the clouds and start falling down as hail.they can hit your face,hands and your neck hard so if anytime there is hailstones be sure to wear a jacket with a hood and put the hood up and look down so that they don't hit you and wear gloves so that they wont hit your hands.

FLORIDA

Florida is known as the "Lightning Capital of the Nation" or the "Lightning Capital of the World." Florida has more injuries and deaths attributed to thunderstorms than any other US state.

The city of Tampa is also billed as "The Lightning Capital of the Nation" for its huge number of thunderstorms. In one month (June 1994), more than 50,000 lightning strikes occurred in the Tampa/St. Petersburg metropolitan area.

High pressure is useful in various applications, such as in industrial processes like waterjet cutting, cleaning, and forming. It is also used in hydraulic systems to generate high forces for lifting heavy objects or controlling machinery. In research, high pressure conditions are employed to study materials under extreme environments.

A clear sky refers to a sky without any visible clouds or significant obscuration, resulting in a bright blue appearance during the day and a dark, star-filled sky at night. Clear skies are often associated with good weather conditions and allow for better visibility of celestial objects such as stars and planets.

A basic condition required for a thunderstorm to form is the presence of warm, moist air rising rapidly into the atmosphere. As this air rises, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of cumulonimbus clouds which can develop into thunderstorms. Additional factors like instability in the atmosphere and a trigger mechanism, such as a cold front or sea breeze, can also contribute to the development of thunderstorms.

The lightning is electromagnetic waves that travel through the clouds. when these waves meet with with another set of its kind they create a lightning bolt of some shape. The thunder ia like a sonic boom but not quite. Thunder is made by when the eletromagnetic waves have touched. They sort of crash in to each other. In that case creating lightning and to the following the thunder!!

If you get hit by lightning, you could potentially lose your sense of hearing due to damage to the inner ear. This can result in temporary or permanent hearing loss.

Cumulonimbus clouds are large, towering clouds associated with thunderstorms and tornadoes. They can extend high into the atmosphere and bring heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds.

Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds made up of ice crystals and are not typically associated with thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are usually produced by cumulonimbus clouds, which are large, puffy clouds that form at lower altitudes and are associated with strong updrafts and severe weather.

1. The Daulatpur–Saturia tornado in Bangladesh in 1989 was one of the deadliest thunderstorms in history, killing over 1,300 people.
2. The Tri-State Tornado in 1925 in the United States holds the record for the longest tornado track and resulted in nearly 700 fatalities.
3. The 1974 Super Outbreak in the U.S. produced 148 tornadoes in 24 hours, causing widespread destruction and over 300 fatalities.

It depends. Like say you got struck and your neighbor saw you get struck and he/she calls 911 right away, you could be saved. But if you get struck and no one comes to help you for a long time then you're a goner.

No, lightning has only negative effects on humans. The effects lightning can cause includes killing people and animals, damaging property, and destroying wiring that runs a home's electricity or even for a whole area. Lighting is also annoying to humans, we have to close pools, cancel sports practices, and not take showers and/or baths(preferably). Lightning to some people is a beautiful effect in the nature of the sky, however the damage it can cause is something that humans do not need to live with.

When lightning is 6 miles away or less, seek shelter immediately indoors or in a hard-topped metal vehicle. Avoid open fields, high ground, trees, water, and metal objects. If caught in an open area, crouch down with feet close together and hands on knees to minimize contact with the ground. Avoid using electrical equipment and plumbing during a storm.

The recently discovered circular flashes of light above thunderstorms are called sprites or elves. So the answer you require is SPRITE

A lightning bolt occurs when there is a rapid discharge of built-up static electricity between charged regions in the atmosphere, typically between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. This discharge is not caused by the transfer of protons but rather by the movement of electrons. The rapid movement of electrons creates a visible flash of light and heat, which we perceive as a lightning bolt.

temperature sets the stage of conditions conducive to producing lightnin. When warm or hot air rises and meets the cooler or cold air in the upper atmosphere, the result we see are viewed as storms and in these conditions electricity is produced. It is this electricity that produces electrical discharges that travel from cloud to cloud or cloud to earth that we view as lightning. This discharge is so intense it produces a glare of light and the thunder we hear occurs from the atmosphere being super-heated as the lightning discharges.

Phoenix

Lightning comes when two weather "fronts" come together and moisture particles collide. Rain = moisture in one of those fronts, hence, lightning and rain are often together. Lightning does occur even when it is not raining. ==Answered By: whatrukidding==

No, not all fish die when lightning strikes the sea. Fish are generally insulated from the electrical current due to the water's resistance, and many can swim to deeper waters or hide in crevices to avoid direct contact with the electric discharge. However, some fish close to the strike may be affected.

The short answer is no. Or rather a severe storm is a very strong storm. The National Weather Service uses the term "severe" when a thunderstorm produces winds of 59 MPH or greater and/or large hail 3 quarters of an inch in diameter or greater. The National Weather Service usually describes storms as "strong" when they're not quite to those levels but still significant.

Lightning produces nitrogen oxides, which are pollutants that can contribute to smog and acid rain when they react with other compounds in the atmosphere.

The perfect storm was located along the northeat coast near maine.This storm generated waves up to ten stories high and had hurricane force winds.There is a book and movie about if you want to learn more.The book is more accurate.

It occurs most frequently in "Hail Alley", which runs from Nebraska to Colorado and up to Wyoming. Frequent thunderstorms combined with the air of orographic winds from the Rockies allows strong updrafts capable of supporting hail. Cheyenne, Wyoming is considered the hail capital of North America, with 9 or 10 days of hail annually on average.

Elsewhere, hail can and has occurred in all 50 states, but is least common on the coast and in some of the colder regions, particularly Alaska.

The sound that results from the rapid expansion of air along a lightning strike is called thunder. Thunder is caused by the heating and rapid expansion of air around the lightning bolt, creating shock waves that we hear as a loud rumbling noise.
