A study of the characteristics of thunderstorm

In the period of 2010-2012, there are several cases reported where thunderstorms that occurred in the North of Peninsular Malaysia causes damage to the structure of the building, especially the roof and other structural parts of the building. There are several factors, which contribute to the thunde...
