Tornadoes Tornadoes begin when air inside a thundercloud starts to spin. The air spins faster and faster and sucks warm air from the ground. They are funnel shaped storms which spin down from thunder clouds. When the cloud touches the ground, the tornado smashes everything in its path. Large tornadoes are about one kilometre wide, and their winds can reach speeds of 480 kilometres per hour. Thankfully, they only last a few minutes.



Lightning

Lightning is a powerful burst of electricity that happens very quickly during a storm. Lightning is caused by an electrical charge in the atmosphere that is unbalanced. Lightning can occur inside clouds, between clouds and from clouds to the ground. There are bolts of lightning on earth every second. In the 1700 Benjamin Franklin was struck by lightning at the age of 84. Most lightning occurs over land rather than oceans with around 70% of it occurring in the tropics. Lightning also happens during volcanic eruptions and other types of storms like dust storms, forest fires and tornadoes are usually noticed as a weather phenomenon.
