frequency spectrum of tornados
 

it is the sound of a tornado! You can verify by taking an old B&W
TV set, tuning to Channel 2, reducing the brightness till the picture
goes away. The lightning will show up as lines of hash. A tornado emits
so much RF that it will turn the screen white, if it is within about 15
miles of the set.

I checked the web but couldn't find the frequency spectrum for
tornados, etc. weather phenomena.

Being the owner of a scanner radio that can receive most any
frequency, I am wondering if there are even better frequencies than
just the TV bands to hear tornados on?

Lightning's frequency spectrum is concentrated where?

Hurricanes listenable? Any other phenomena listen able?

Low end of AM radio band... Havent you ever heard lightning crashes on your car
radio?

Try contacting TV weatherman Tom Skilling of WGN TV in Chicago. He has a
web site called ask Tom. He is also very well connected with tornado
chasers. The local College of DuPage has a very active storm chaser
contingent.
