Lightning

The Storm Prediction Center suddenly has huge parts of Missouri and Illinois in a severe storm risk for this weekend.

A lightning bolt that traveled from Texas to Missouri has finally been confirmed as a new world record.

A recent thunderstorm over Illinois was captured on slow-motion video as lightning lit up the sky over a cornfield.

A new video that shows the moment a lightning bolt from recent storms send 300 million volts of power into a helpless Missouri tree.

Conditions appear to be right for potential explosive storm development over Illinois this weekend.

As a winter storm system began moving across Missouri early Wednesday morning, one traffic cam captured a rather shocking moment when thunder snow happened in Joplin.

Thanks to a Missouri drone wizard, a truly electrifying lightning storm over Missouri was captured on video and it's unlike any thunderstorm viewpoint you've ever seen.

If you've lived in Missouri for any length of time, you've no doubt seen a thunderstorm or two (or 1,000). But, I can almost guarantee that you've never seen a thunderstorm in Missouri that a plane passenger witnessed as they were aboard a plane ABOVE a storm.

I've heard it said that if you fail to learn history, you are doomed to repeat it. That's why it's important that we all know that the Missouri capital building has burned to the ground twice and for strange reasons.

Kaboom. If you were close enough to a Missouri highway vehicle, that would have been the deafening sound when lightning completely unloaded 200 million volts in a microsecond.
