Almost unimaginable amounts of rains fell along a swath of the U.S. more than 200 miles long, rushing from tall peaks and turning tumbling mountain streams into unrecognizable torrents.
Acid rain is also a frequent risk produced by lightning. Distilled water has a neutral pH of 7. "Clean" or unpolluted rain has a slightly acidic pH of about 5.2, because carbon dioxide and water in the air react together to form carbonic acid, a weak acid (pH 5.6 in distilled water), but unpolluted rain also contains other chemicals.

The first storm to be identified as the supercell type was the Wokingham storm over England, which was studied by Keith Browning and Frank Ludlam in 1962. [4] Browning did the initial work that was followed up by Lemon and Doswell to develop the modern conceptual model of the supercell. [ 5 ]
As with Fine Wind, Clear Morning, a thin line of Prussian blue is used in the upper portion of the sky, but here the clouds have a smoke-like quality and appear to cling to the mountain.

This image of the central Pacific, captured on Friday, Apr. 12, 2024, shows the storm with its bright-colored clouds spinning northwest of Hawaii (lower center). Intense rain was occurring in the ...
A watch may also be issued several hours ahead of the arrival of a mature and organized complex of storms (such as a mesoscale convective system), or more clustered or discrete storm activity (of the single-cell, multicell and/or supercell varieties). A severe thunderstorm watch, like a tornado watch, is not to be confused with a warning. A ...
