Tornadoes are a devastating natural phenomenon, currently beyond our ability to predict or control. However, science marches on… Diligent scientists have tried for many years to connect the dots between the electrical properties of supercell thunderstorms and tornadogenesis. New measurements of electromagnetic waves could indicate they were on the right track. The history of electrical theories for tornadogenesis goes back quite a ways. There have been many anecdotal reports of luminous phenomena (most likely of an electrical nature) associated with tornado formation. In one instance, a fisherman...
