Extractions: Listen to this story via streaming audio , a downloadable file , or get help October 30, 2003: There's much more to a thunderstorm than meets the eye. Literally. If you could see the invisible force fields around magnets and clothes that have "static cling," a storm on the horizon would look very different. Engulfing and dwarfing the storm clouds, ghostly ribbons of huge magnetic and electric fields would arch high above the thunder clouds to the top of the atmosphere, and would sprawl downward from the clouds like tendrils groping the landscape. These invisible fields are always in motion, swelling and contorting as the storm clouds churn, lurching suddenly as lightning bolts strike. Above: Thunderstorms are also huge electrical dynamos. Image courtesy The Aerospace Corporation. Scientists have long assumed that this mostly hidden side of thunderstorms serves as the electrical "pump" that maintains a huge difference in charge between the earth's surface and an upper layer of the atmosphere called the ionosphere. There's a voltage drop between the two, measuring somewhere between 150,000 and 600,000 volts. Left to itself, this difference should naturally balance out in about 15 minutes, but it doesn't.

WFAA-TV meteorologist Steve McCauley said some early storms developed about 100 miles west of the Dallas-Fort Worth area but moved into Oklahoma. He said a thin "cap" of warm air about 8,000 feet over North Texas Monday afternoon will likely keep the rain away — at least while the sun is out. "The air already here in North Texas is rising rapidly; it is trying to make thunderstorms as we speak," McCauley explained. "But that air is banging into the cap and cannot get any higher. Therefore, you're not seeing the big towering cumulus clouds towering out there right now."

Extractions: Lightning Safety Thunderstorms can occur anytime during the year, but are most common in the spring and summer. A typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 30 minutes. All thunderstorms produce lightning. Lightning often strikes outside of heavy rain and may occur as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Because light travels so much faster than sound, lightning flashes can be seen long before the resulting thunder is heard. Remember : if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning. North Carolina ranks third in the nation in number of lightning-related deaths, and fourth in lightning related injuries. If you are outdoors when a thunderstorm approaches, seek shelter immediately! Move to a sturdy building or car. Do not take shelter in small sheds, under isolated trees, or in convertible automobiles. Get out of boats and away from water. Telephones lines and metal pipes can conduct electricity. Unplug appliances if possible and avoid using the telephone (unless it is an emergency) or any electrical appliances.

Weatheradio Extreme Events Alberta Saskatchewan Manitoba J u s t F o r K i d s Summer Tips Weather Words Summer thunderstorms are a fairly common occurrence in most areas of Canada, providing much-needed precipitation for gardens, crops, and other purposes. Unfortunately, a small percentage of summer thunderstorms intensify to the extent that they become "severe", causing damage to property and threatening lives. Environment Canada will issue a severe thunderstorm or tornado warning if heavy rain, high winds, tornadoes, hail or intense lightning are present or expected. The storm's expected motion and developments are also provided in the weather warning. If you hear a weather warning and are in the area specified, take appropriate precautions. The following general precautions offer advice on how you can plan in advance to cope more safely with a severe thunderstorm. Choose a shelter in advance. Good places to be during severe storms are basements, storm cellars, and fall-out shelters, or underneath stairs or sturdy furniture in the centre of the house. See

The weather report promised an afternoon and evening of storms, and the little dog was gearing up for his panic. He drooled and paced, stopping frequently to press himself against Marsha's legs. When the trembling started, Marsha picked him up and cuddled his shaking body. It would be a long evening. Lightning crackled and thunder roared as the storm began overhead, and Rover raced down the hallway and scrabbled under the bed. There he would stay till the fury subsided. Misty followed Robert from room to room, never letting him out of her sight. She didn't whine, shake, or run in terror from the sturm and drang of the storm, but she shadowed Robert whenever he moved. Fear of thunderstorms is quite common in dogs, and the onset of the fear can be obscure. Sometimes a dog is afraid from puppyhood; sometimes a particularly bad storm is connected to another fearful event in the dog's life; and sometimes the origin of the fear cannot be pinpointed. Puppies may pick up fear or discomfort with storms from their people, so it is important to develop a matter-of-fact attitude when dealing with a frightened youngster. Let the pup stay close, reassure him that he's fine, and coax him to play to divert his attention, but don't hover over him, stroke him incessantly, or cuddle him anxiously.

http://www.terradaily.com/reports/Cities_Incite_Thunderstorms_999.html

Extractions: Summer thunderstorms become much more fierce when they collide with a city than they would otherwise be in the open countryside, according to research led by Princeton engineers. Alexandros A. Ntelekos and James A. Smith of Princeton University's School of Engineering and Applied Science based their conclusion on computer models and detailed observations of an extreme thunderstorm that hit Baltimore in July of 2004. Their modeling suggests that the city of Baltimore experienced about 30 percent more rainfall than the region it occupies would have experienced had there been no buildings where the city now sits. While thunderstorms are thought of as being purely forces of nature, the Princeton research suggests that man's built environment can radically alter a storm's life cycle. A storm of the intensity of the 2004 event in Baltimore is extremely rare, occurring only once every 200 years or so. However, climate change is expected to make such events more frequent, according to the fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Extractions: A severe thunderstorm watch is issued by the National Weather Service when the weather conditions are such that a severe thunderstorm (damaging winds 58 miles per hour or more, or hail three-fourths of an inch in diameter or greater) is likely to develop. This is the time to locate a safe place in the home and tell family members to watch the sky and listen to the radio or television for more information. A severe thunderstorm warning is issued when a severe thunderstorm has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. At this point, the danger is very serious and everyone should go to a safe place, turn on a battery-operated radio or television, and wait for the "all clear" by the authorities.

Extractions: (more information here) WHAT are thunderstorms? Thunderstorms are usually small, organized parcels of warm and moist air that produce lightning and thunder. They are one of Nature's frequent ways of balancing the amount of energy in the atmosphere - it is estimated that over 40,000 thunderstorms occur each day around the world. Although most last only 30 minutes, thunderstorms can create several dangerous phenomena: Torrential rain: rain produced by thunderstorms is usually intense, but short in duration - flash flooding is often associated with this type of precipitation. In fact, flooding is the greatest threat from thunderstorms, killing more people in the United States in an average year than tornadoes or lightning. Torrential rain can cause flooding many miles downstream of a thunderstorm's location, catching people off guard. Slope failures can also be triggered by the intense precipitation from thunderstorms in hilly and mountainous regions. Reduced visibility is common in the downdrafts of thunderstorms, where rainfall rates are the highest.

Extractions: Strong winds from a severe thunderstorm appear to be bending out the channel of this lightning bolt. The fast moving wind storm moved through western Oklahoma late at night. The cloud feature along the leading edge is called a gust front or shelf cloud. As it passes the winds shift and become much cooler. This particular storm line had 60 m.p.h. winds. Want to learn more about the lightning and understand what's going on in these storms? Kids can learn more about lightning by visiting sources such as the National Geographic Page on lightning . Lightning extending from thunderstorms into space is a new area of study and may be observed in special situations involving very clear dark skies. Cloud to Ground Strikes Cloud to ground lightning looks the best when it's out of the rain. The branching shows up best when there is no rain to blur the image. In the left shot taken near Dodge City, Kansas the precipitation is actually virga, it's evaporating before it hits the ground. Note the difference in the top of the lightning and the detail near the ground. The better contrast is lower in the image and out of the rain. The shot on the right is mostly rain free so the branching shows up throughout the shot. Using Lightning To Illuminate the Tornado Lightning is common in a tornadic thunderstorm, but often after the tornado is on the ground the lightning diminishes. This was a lucky shot, well not total luck, I was there. It's really hard to do this, as I have tried for years. On numerous occasions I have had a tornado in the lightning and something goes wrong to keep me from getting it. One time I had two tornadoes going on simultaneously in the lightning east of Wichita, Kansas. I broke out of the storm too close to the tornadoes and they roared by before I could get set up. For this shot I was on a little hand tripod setting on the car hood, which is fast to set up. Also, it wasn't raining and that made it possible to stand outside without soaking the camera equipment.
