Tornadoes emit on the electromagnetic spectrum, with sferics and E-field effects detected. [49] [51] [52] There are observed correlations between tornadoes and patterns of lightning. Tornadic storms do not produce more lightning than other storms and some tornadic cells never produce lightning at all.
Tornadoes can also be spawned as a result of eyewall mesovortices, which persist until landfall. [162] Hurricane Ivan produced 120 tornadoes, more than any other tropical cyclone. [163] Lightning activity is produced within tropical cyclones. This activity is more intense within stronger storms and closer to and within the storm's eyewall.
Lightning is detected remotely using sensors that detect cloud-to-ground lightning strokes with 95 percent accuracy in detection and within 250 metres (820 ft) of their point of origin.

The extreme weather associated with Hurricane Milton has included tornadoes that have killed at least five in Florida’s St. Lucie County, a phenomenon known to occur as such storms move inland.

Hurricane Ian was a prolific lightning producer as it strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane on its approach to Florida. Storm chasers along the coast of Florida even witnessed cloud-to-ground ...
Shipwrecks are common with the passage of strong tropical cyclones. Such shipwrecks can change the course of history, [7] as well as influence art and literature. A hurricane led to a victory of the Spanish over the French for control of Fort Caroline, and ultimately the Atlantic coast of North America, in 1565. [8]
