Have you ever experienced a storm if you had done, look into it. How violent it is! Storms do not behave sweet and silent; they used to be violent every time.

Thunderstorms: They are the most basic forms of storms ever studied. During this summer season, The Air becomes drier and the rate of evaporation is quick. This evaporated air is built in such a way they form Cumulonimbus clouds and usually rise up to 32000 feet. All these heated air has enormous amount of energy. They condense to form dark clouds which precipitate to form rain.

Each gram of water condense to release approximately 2500J of energy and this energy in the storm generates electrons, these huge number of electrons generate cloud to cloud lightning and cloud to ground lightning. So, the roaring thunders and flashing lightning can be seen in thunder storms.

Hurricanes: Do you know that small thunderstorms can develop into the world’s most powerful storm systems in the world? Let us take the continent of Africa in to account. Some thunderstorms originate in equatorial Africa and also a very few storms have the ability to cross the continent and enter the Atlantic Ocean.

It is a known fact that water is the ultimate feeder of any kind of storms and the evaporated water vapours condense to form clouds for several thousand miles and the storm gains enormous amount of strength. Its strength is several thousand times than the equatorial thunderstorm. They develop in to tropical depressions and cyclonic storms. Later on reaching the middle of the ocean they develop to hurricanes. It is told that a single hurricane has enough power of 1000 nuclear bombs. Thus hurricanes are mutually the world’s most powerful storms.

They can drive sea water inside coastal cities. Every year USA alone looses millions of dollars in mitigation and reconstruction in the affected areas. Pacific hurricanes are even more dangerous than hurricanes
