Thunder storms and winter snowstorms can do a certain amount of damage. It a good idea to be prepared, especially if you live in an area where they happen frequently. Thunderstorms can bring heavy rain (which can cause flash flooding), strong winds, hail, lightning and tornadoes. Lightning is a major threat during a thunderstorm.
A major winter storm can be deadly. Preparing for cold weather conditions and responding to them effectively can reduce the dangers caused by winter storms. Some things to keep in mind are, wind chill is how cold it feels outside when temperature and wind speed are combined. A strong wind combined with a temperature just below freezing can be dangerous. When a winter storm watch is announced, this means that severe winter weather may affect your area. When a winter storm warning is announced, this means that severe winter weather conditions are definitely on the way.
