In the Midwest we call these “thunderstorms”.
Your thunderstorms come with tidal surges that overtop levees and back up rivers?
I remember that growing up in south Florida 60 some years ago they didn’t give names to storms unless they became hurricanes and the names were all feminine, Alice, Barbara, Carol etc. These days they start naming tropical depressions that have winds around 30 mph. I have my suspicions that the reason is somehow tied to the climate change idiots.
Here we in NJ we call them ‘’thunderstorms’’ too.
