Recently, we stumbled across a couple of intriguing facts about storms. Maybe you already know about these? But if not, we think we may blow your mind!

Fact #1

“Thousands of years ago philosophers such as Aristotle believed that thunder was caused by the collision of clouds” (https://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/weather/thunder.html). Honestly, we think that is a pretty good theory considering the time!

Fact #2

It can thunder when it’s snowing. Wait, what?! Yes, you read that right. “Intense bands of snow can develop during blizzards and effect snow events in much the same way that a regular thunderstorm would form when it’s warm out. These strong bands can produce lightening and loud cracks of thunder all while dumping copious amounts of snow in a short period of time” (https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/502190/11-booming-facts-about-thunderstorms).

And don’t forget...Fact #3: You can call SERVPRO® of South Madison County 24/7 365 for any storm-related water damage (256-533-5335).
