Which of the following is NOT a severe weather sign?

• A. Dark Clouds
• B. Lightning
• C. Thunder
• D. Sudden Wing Gusts

Answer: (B)

Understanding signs of severe weather helps you react quickly to protect yourself. Dark clouds indicate storm development as warm, moist air rises and condenses into heavy, towering clouds. Lightning shows that electrical charges are building and a storm is actively releasing energy, often a precursor to dangerous conditions. Thunder is the sound produced by that lightning and confirms the storm’s presence nearby. Sudden wind gusts reveal rapid changes in the atmosphere and can accompany fast-moving storms, squalls, or even tornadoes.

Because each of these cues signals an active or approaching storm, there isn’t an option here that isn’t a severe weather sign. If you observe any of them, seek shelter and stay tuned to local safety alerts.
