Pre 2010 GWS storms in the "storm alley" occurred in mid-latitudes in the southern hemisphere (2002–2010 at 36.2°S; 1.5° wide). These storms appeared in episodes. The first three in early 2004, late 2004 (dragon storm) and early 2006 (observed by Erick Bondoux and Jean-Luc Dauvergne [8]) lasted for a couple of months. The episode beginning ...
A storm seen at the Baltic Sea near the island of Öland, Sweden.. A storm is any disturbed state of the natural environment or the atmosphere of an astronomical body. [citation needed] It may be marked by significant disruptions to normal conditions such as strong wind, tornadoes, hail, thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation (snowstorm, rainstorm), heavy freezing rain ...
During thunderstorm formation, winds move in a direction opposite to the storm's travel, and they move from all directions into the thunderstorm. When the storm collapses and begins to release precipitation, wind directions reverse, gusting outward from the storm and generally gusting the strongest in the direction of the storm's travel.

Ice storms are also known as a Silver storm, referring to the color of the freezing precipitation. [89] Ice storms are caused by liquid precipitation which freezes upon cold surfaces and leads to the gradual development of a thickening layer of ice. [89] The accumulations of ice during the storm can be extremely destructive.
The ominous eye of Hurricane Milton is visible in stunning detail from outer space in a timeplapse video released Tuesday by NASA. From 275 miles above Earth, the powerful storm can be seen ...
The main cause of storm-related fatalities had been shifting away from storm surge and towards freshwater (rain) flooding. [31] However, the median death rate per storm had increased through 1979, with a lull during the 1980–1995 period. This was due to greater numbers of people moving to the coastal margins and into harm's way.
Satellite photos from NASA Earth Observatory show water levels at Lake Shasta and Lake Oroville increasing dramatically after early-winter storms.
