My Favorite Storm

My favorite storm is a thunderstorm, because it's the only storm with heavy rain, thunder, lightning, large hail, strong winds, and tornadoes if severe.

The cloud that produces it is called a cumulonimbus (kyoo MEW loh NIHM buss) cloud. Their flat tops are called the anvil, because it looks like a blacksmith's anvil for making things out of steel, like horeshoes. My next favorite storm is a tornado, because it's the only violent whirling wind that's funnel-shaped. It's a windstorm that travels over land as a funnel-shaped cloud. You'll know a severe thunderstorm is approaching if the clouds look green. See you next time.
