A tornado is a fast spinning column of air that stretches all the way from a thunderstorm cloud in the sky down to the earth's surface.

Blizzards are storms with blowing or falling snow, high winds, and cold temperatures.

Hurricanes are storms with high winds and heavy rain that start off as tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters.

A flood is an act of nature that occurs when too much rain forces streams, rivers, and lakes to overflow.

A thunderstorm is a storm with lightning, rain and thunder.

False, tornadoes can have wind speeds up to 300km and hour.

Some intensive blizzards can have wind speeds as strong as a category one or category two hurricane.

Hurricanes can also be called typhoons.

Floods can be caused by too much rain or melting ice in rivers.

Supercells are strong thunderstorms. They can produce strong winds, heavy rain, flooding, hail and tornadoes.
