    Why Talk About Severe thunderstorms? Despite their small size, all thunderstorms are dangerous. Heavy rain from thunderstorms can lead to flash flooding.  
    http://www.redcross.org/services/disaster/keepsafe/thunder.html
    
    Extractions: Despite their small size, all thunderstorms are dangerous. Every thunderstorm produces lightning, which kills more people each year than tornadoes. Heavy rain from thunderstorms can lead to flash flooding. Strong winds, hail, and tornadoes are also dangers associated with some thunderstorms. Thunderstorms affect relatively small areas when compared with hurricanes and winter storms. The typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 20 to 30 minutes. Of the estimated 100,000 thunderstorms that occur each year in the United States, only about 10 percent are classified as severe.

    Oahu Civil Defense Agency. WHAT ARE thunderstorms? thunderstorms, generated by temperature imbalances in the atmosphere, are a violent example of convection.  
    http://www.co.honolulu.hi.us/ocda/thunder1.htm
    
    Extractions: Thunderstorms, generated by temperature imbalances in the atmosphere, are a violent example of convection. Warming of the air near the earth's surface and/or cooling of the air above puts warmer, lighter air layers below colder, denser layers. The resulting instability causes convective overturning of the layers, with heavier, denser layers sinking to the bottom and the lighter warmer air rising rapidly. Mechanical processes are also at work. Warm, buoyant air may be forced upward by the wedge-like undercutting of a cold air mass or by flowing up a mountain slope. Winds blowing into the center of a low-pressure area may force warm air near that center upward. In the first stage of thuderstorm development, an updraft carries warm air to a level where the air becomes saturated with moisture and visible droplets appear as a cloud begins to form. Continued upward movement produces large clouds resembling rising mounds, domes, or towers, known as cumulus clouds. Strong winds above the developing clouds may further enhance the updraft or convection. As the cloud forms, water vapor changes to liquid and/or frozen cloud particles. This results in a release of latent heat that takes over as the principal source of energy for the developing cloud. Once the cloud starts to form by other forces, this release of heat helps keep it growing.

    Extractions: Graphic developed by: Dan Bramer The Severe Storms Module is a combination of two elements. The first is the NOAA Severe Storms Spotters Guide. The second is a section recently added to discuss the efforts and results of modeling severe storms. The Severe Storms Spotters Guide contains supplemental instructional resources and a program designed to familiarize meteorologists and advanced severe storm spotters with the basic "building blocks" of convective storm structure. The focus of the training series is the development of a thunderstorm "spectrum" and a discussion of the physical characteristics and severe weather potential of the various storm types in the spectrum.

    Extractions: Types of Thunderstorms single cell, multicell clusters, multicell lines and supercells The array of thunderstorms within the spectrum reflects our current scientific understanding. Thus, while the spectrum is very useful, it is neither perfect nor a final solution. Nevertheless, arrangement of storms within the spectrum is dependent on updraft strength, here represented by different colors; relative frequencies of these updraft strength categories, as indicated by differing lengths on the upper bar graph; and relative threats of the updraft categories, here represented by the lengths on the bottom bar graph. Thus, while a "strong" updraft is less common than a "weak" updraft, the relative threat to life and property is greater with the "strong" updraft storm. Similarly, "intense" updraft storms are quite rare but inflict a disproportionate amount of damage and personal injury. The breakdown into single cell , multicell, and supercell covers the major storm types within the spectrum. One "cell" denotes one updraft/downdraft couplet. Thus, there are several updrafts and downdrafts in close proximity with a multicell storm. Multicell storms can be broken down further into the categories of multicell line and multicell cluster storms. The "intense" updraft storm is almost invariably the

The first images of a sprite were accidently obtained in 1989 (Franz et al. , 1990). Beginning in 1990, about twenty images have been obtained from the space shuttle (Vaughan et al. , 1992; Boeck et al. Since then, video sequences of well over a thousand sprites have been captured. These include measurements from the ground ( Lyons, 1994; Winckler, 1995) and from aircraft (Sentman and Wescott, 1993;

    Extractions: Xenia's Killer Tornado!! In all, 33 people died in Xenia's tornado, the deadliest of 148 storms that raged through 13 states during the infamous "Super Outbreak'' of tornadoes April 3-4, 1974. In 16 hours and 10 minutes, 330 people were killed and nearly 5,550 were injured from Illinois to Georgia. Though the Xenia death toll has been matched by other killer storms, the degree of devastation makes the city's tornado among U.S. history's most destructive. The storm still is studied in colleges by aspiring meteorologists, a textbook case of a rare Category F-5, the most intense of tornadoes. Read one young boy's account

    Extractions: (AP) Showers and thunderstorms continued Friday from southern New England south into the Tennessee and Mississippi valleys and Texas. Conditions were fair but skies were cloudy elsewhere. Thunderstorms were strong in western and central Texas, as well as northern Louisiana. Flooding was reported in Cass County, Texas, forcing the closure of roads. Wind damage was reported in Caddo County, Louisiana.
