1. Andrew -- Storm
   As Hurricane Andrew approached Louisiana, an isolated storm on one of Andrew's raindbands spawned a tornado that traveled west-northwestward through Laplace, Louisiana. The tornado damage path was 9 miles long and about 150 yards wide. The tornado was rated F3 on the Fujita damage scale. Damage to homes was more severe in the tornado than hurricane-caused damage to similarly constructed homes in Louisiana. The tornado lasted ten minutes beginning around 8:10pm.
2. Storm (Storm, Gale - People) -- Sun Goddess
   In published comics, Susan Storm has talked about how she and her brother Johnny (the "Human Torch") attended Sunday School while growing up. It has been well established that Susan Storm is the "most religious" member of the Fantastic Four.
3. Fantastic Four -- Johnny Storm
   Victor's elaborate plans to kill the Fantastic Four involve eliminating them one by one, beginning, so he thinks, with the emotionally insecure and physically unstoppable Ben. But even as it should be accelerating with spiffy action and smart repartee, Tim Story's movie becomes increasingly incoherent. The Four fight amongst themselves and take off for separate adventures, occasionally coming together for unbelievably convenient collisions. Johnny runs off with a nurse in snow-bunny drag for some snowboarding, and while out on the cold mountain, discovers that when she says he's "on fire," she means it literally.
4. Fantastic -- Johnny Storm
   When an experimental space voyage goes awry, four people are changed by cosmic rays into the superheroes known as The Fantastic Four. Reed Richards, brilliant scientist and team leader, is transformed into Mr. Fantastic --his body now impossibly elastic and resilient. Reeds shy girlfriend, Sue Storm, can now completely disappear and produce force fields as The Invisible Woman. Sue's little brother is Johnny Storm, and known to be a real "hot head". Now he has powers that match his fiery personality and ... give him the ability to fly--lighting up the night sky as the Human Torch. Pilot Benjamin Grimm was never much to look at, but now he dates blind women because the accident turned him into a monstrous Thing --completely covered by a rocky orange hide which makes him invunerable to harm and super-strong. Together, they become the Fantastic Four, using their incredible powers against any threat to the peace of Earth.

6. Hurricane Andrew -- Storm
   No one knew on Saturday, August 22, 1992, that Hurricane Andrew would turn out to be the largest natural disaster in the nation’s history. No one could predict that it would supersede Hurricane Hugo as the costliest disaster ever and cause over five times the damage of that 1989 storm.
7. Travis Tritt -- Storm
   With two Grammys, three Country Music Association (CMA) Awards and 25 million albums sold, Travis Tritt is a true music superstar. Now the Georgia-born singer/songwriter has taken things to a higher level with the summer release of The Storm, an album that reached no. 3 on the Billboard Top Country Album chart thanks to the single, "You Never Take Me Dancing.”
8. Gunpowder -- Century China
   Gunpowder or black powder is of great historical importance in chemistry. Although it can explode, its principal use is as a propellant. Gunpowder was invented by Chinese alchemists in the 9th century. Originally, it was made by mixing elemental sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter (potassium nitrate). The charcoal traditionally came from the willow tree, but grapevine, hazel, elder, laurel, and pine cones have all been used. Charcoal is not the only fuel that can be used.
9. Weather -- Snow
   "The Storm of the Century" continued to bring extreme weather to the eastern United States on this date in 1993. Parts of the Appalachian Mountains received up to 60 inches of new snow and Syracuse, N.Y. was covered with a fresh blanket of snow 43 inches thick. The storm caused $6 billion in damage and was responsible for 208 deaths.
10. Tropical Cyclone
    A Tropical Cyclone is the most fierce storm in the world. It has many names including: hurricane (North America), Cyclone (Around India) and Typhoon (Southeast of Asia). This fearsome storm is born when convection organizes around a low-level closed surface circulation. As the convection wraps around the center more and becomes more deeper, the cyclone intensifies.
