Intro to the storm

This is an intro to the storm I'm following via the news: Storm Clodagh.
I actually find it quite amazing, whilst it's also scary. I find it amazing how it starts off, water vapour to cloud. Cloud to thunderstorm. This happened when unstable air and lift mix with a cumulonimbus cloud. From that you may be asking, what creates the harsh winds? Well, it's simply air moving from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. The smaller the distance of the pressure gradient, the stronger the winds. 
Now, back to the storm and its destruction. Today, (December 3rd) Clodagh is expected to leave thousands of homes without power. 
I find it amazing how nature can over power us sometimes. With this people won't have basic things like lights, working fridges/ freezers, etc. But worst of all... WIFI.
The worst of the storm is over now but I'm still going to write about the effects it had, until another storm pops up somewhere.
