severe weather learning

Deanna is very scared of storms (ever since two years ago when we had a storm break some windows in our home).  So this afternoon during the thunderstorm here, we took some time to research about the ingredients of storms in hopes of relieving some of her fear.  So we have learned about thunder, lightning, tornadoes, cloud types, hail, and more.  I even learned a few new things too.  :)
