No other atmospheric event in Illinois carries with it the beauty, fear, and importance that thunderstorms produce.Thunderstorms are wonderfully complex natural machines that convert moisture and energy into rainfall, lightning, and many other severe weather phenomena that we all fear including tornadoes, heavy rainstorms, straight line winds, and hail.
