Damages Caused by Thunderstorms

Many people would say hurricanes, and tornadoes are much for dangerous than a thunderstorm. Unfortunately what they say isn't true. Under the right conditions, rainfall from thunderstorms can cause flash flooding which kills more people each year than hurricanes, tornadoes or lightning. What exactly is a thunderstorm? A thunderstorm is a normal rain shower with the addition of thunder, and since thunder comes from lightning, all thunderstorms have lightning. Thunderstorms have caused millions of dollars in damages just with the basics like rain and lighting. Thunderstorms have caused power outages that have lasted weeks at a time. Here at SERVPRO of Katy/Cypress we take these matters very seriously and always have a protective eye on such storm moving in on our community.
