TYPES OF STORMS
1. Derecho Storms
A Derecho is a large series of storms following each other over a path of at least 240 miles with wind gusts of at least 58mph. These types of storm are hard to predict, but often happen in warm weather in June and July.
2. Flooding
Floods occur due to rain and other water rising faster than the drains can handle. Flash floods can leave buildings and roads under several inches of water in a matter of minutes.
Flooding often leads to severe damage to homes and commercial buildings, other property and infrastructure. Flash floods are responsible for around 200 deaths in the US every year.
3. Hail Storms
Hail storms often cause a lot of damage as they are hard and can fall at speeds of up to 120mph.
Damage caused by hailstorms often includes roof, windows and skylights, siding, guttering, as well as other property and vehicle damage.

4. Snow Storms
Heavy snow may seem more of an inconvenience than a cause of damage to your home, however heavy build ups of snow can lead to collapsed roofs or gutters, and blocked drains can cause flooding.
5. Hurricanes
The hurricane is the most powerful type of tropical cyclone, and is identified by low pressure systems, high winds, heavy rainfall and storm surges and swells. Hurricanes that reach land can be extremely destructive damaging property and affecting infrastructure.
6. Ice Storms
Ice storms produce freezing rain which covers everything in ice, making everything slippery, and causing hazardous conditions and potentially affecting homes and vehicles.
7. Lightning
Lightning is often to blame for storm damage, and is usually the cause of falling trees, wildfires, structural fires and power outages.

8. Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms can cause a wide range of different types of weather, such as hail, tornadoes and flooding. This can cause damage to property. Lightning strikes from dry thunderstorms, where there is no rain, often cause wildfires.
9. Tornadoes
Tornadoes are extremely dangerous, from the high winds often in excess of 300mph, to the debris carried by these high winds. Tornadoes are so prevalent in certain states, including Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Missouri that the area is named “tornado alley”. Minnesota lies on the northern edge and sees around 26 tornadoes per year, an average of more than 2 a month.
10. Tropical Storms
Tropical storms must have wind speeds of between 39 and 73mph, and are prevalent in the Pacific and Atlantic. The main damage caused by tropical storms include damage caused by water, and damage caused by debris picked up by the wind.

WARNING SIGNS IN CASE OF A STORM
1. Clouds
Different cloud types indicate different types of weather.
• Do you know your cumulus from your stratus, or your cirrus from your nimbostratus?
If you spend a lot of time outdoors, then perhaps you need to know more about clouds.
2. Temperature
The temperature is likely to drop suddenly if a storm is on its way.
• If you’re outside and suddenly feel cold, look at the sky and see if the weather is about to change
3. Darkness often means thunder
It often gets darker when a thunder storm is approaching.
• If the sky suddenly goes black, now might be the time to get back inside, or perhaps find some shelter
4. Animal behavior
Animals are often a good indication of what the weather will do next as their sense of smell and hearing is far better than humans.
Many animals can smell rain from several miles away, and some will become more excitable as the stormy weather approaches.
Birds tend to fly lower if bad weather is on its way, whilst cows often lie down when it’s about to rain. Sheep will huddle together if they sense a storm is imminent.
• What are the animals near you doing?
• If you’re not in the city center or on the highway can you see what cattle and birds are doing?
5. Winds
Perhaps the wind has suddenly changed direction, or has got stronger.
This could indicate that a storm is on the way, and that you should keep your wits about you.
• Major weather moves from west to east
If you’re outside working, and can see the clouds moving from west to east, then perhaps it might be time to come inside
6. Common Sense
Sometimes you just sense something is wrong.
• Perhaps everybody is moving in the same direction trying to get indoors
• Perhaps there’s nobody around and there should be
It’s always a good idea to look at the weather forecast and have some idea of where you’re going and what you will be doing, in case the weather does change.
