Who's surprised about thunderstorms in Oregon & Washington? There's always someone who says we "never" get thunderstorms. I heard the same thing when I lived in California. Thunderstorms are weird that at least small ones happen far more often than most people realize. Meteorologists & pilots are trained to recognize cumulonimbus clouds, or storm cells on weather radar. Without such training, most people need to hear thunder or see lightning to recognize a thunderstorm. #weather #ORwx #WAwx #PNW
