While it is, or was, regionally known in some circles for decades, social media is just now shedding light on an old-timers trick to predicting the coming winter season.
It's now forecast to be one of the strongest hurricanes in history. Hurricane Lee has rapidly intensified into a monster category 5 storm and the question now is what track will it take and is the East Coast of the United States in danger.
Hurricane Idalia has made landfall along the Florida coast as a life-threatening category 3 storm bringing devastating wind and flooding to the Sunshine State.
Yes, it's an obvious fact that storm chasing is dangerous, but it's even more so in the rural areas of Illinois. One storm chaser recently discovered a 'monster lurking in the corn' - a massive EF-2 tornado that he couldn't see initially because a field of corn was blocking his view.
