PURE PANIC: Watch as the small community of Minden, Iowa takes a direct hit from this violent tornado. During this chase we had @nelkboys with us on their first ever storm chase, which turned out to be a historic but devastating day. #weather #stormchasing #tornado #twister #iowa | Storm Chaser Jordan Hall

Why Does Lightning Strike with Such Deadly Power? 🌩️⚡ Lightning is one of nature’s most unstoppable forces — a massive electric discharge caused by opposite charges between storm clouds and the ground. ⚡ When the charge builds beyond the air’s limit, electricity explodes through the sky at over 30,000°C — five times hotter than the Sun’s surface! ☀️ When lightning hits a tree, the sap vaporizes instantly, making the trunk explode from the inside. Airplanes get struck regularly but stay safe tha
