Understanding Thunderstorms and Tornadoes: Nature's Powerful Storms

Thunderstorms predominantly occur in spring and summer across North America, featuring thunder and lightning. Lightning is created by electric charges within clouds that can discharge to the ground, rapidly heating and expanding the air, resulting in the sound of thunder. Tornadoes are violent, localized storms that form over land, exhibiting winds that can reach up to 500 miles per hour. These swirling winds create a characteristic funnel-shaped cloud, representing one of nature's most intense weather phenomena.
