Say, there was a line of thunderstorms, and from the clouds one could hear a
continual monotonous roar as if a jet plane or two were hanging stationary inside the clouds, for several minutes. Is this the sound of wind shear? |

Is this the sound of wind shear? No -- 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. Needless to say, use only the antenna, NOT a cable hookup! |

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? |
