Description
Not all rain clouds lead to rainbows. Some form into ravaging thunderstorms, bringing pounding hail, wild winds, and bolts of lightning. Winter storms are equally threatening, bringing terrible wind chills and mountains of snow. This book looks at the severe side of storms, including: • hail, wind, and the kinds and causes of lightning • famous storms and blizzards, including the deadly Blizzard of 1888 • how severe weather is tracked using Doppler radar • activity/observation page
