OK, here a few good test questions:
1. Which is not a form of obscuration? a. fog b. smoke c. mist d. rain e. volcanic ash
2. Theory that explains why it is a bad idea to hide under and underpass during a tornado?
3. Number 1 weather related killer (hint: it has recently been updated)
4. True/False The size of the eye of a hurricane is directly proportional to the intensity of the storm?
Good Luck

Follow up questions:
1. When the positive and negative charges separate, which are higher and which are closer to the ground?
2. What is the "feeler" stage of a lightning strike and what is the postive upward stroke from the ground called?

Negative charges build up in the clouds and positive charges on the Earth's surface. When the difference is big enough, the electrons in the clouds find the fastest path to the ground which creates lightning. The lightning heats up the air quickly which creates thunder.
