Lightning storm

Australia has Hector, Venezuela has Catatumbo, but what does Solís have?
For those who don't know, Hector, also known as Hector the Convector, is a consistent lightning storm that occurs every afternoon from September to March. It is found on the Tiwi Islands in north Australia and is visible from the city of Darwin.
Catatumbo lightning is another example of a constant lightning storm. It is more frequent than Hector, occurring nearly every single night of the year. It occurs over Lake Maracaibo in the far western regions of Venezuela.
Here's a few links for more info.

Solís has its own constant lightning storm. In a hypothetical world, what do you think the storms in the rainforest would be called?
Just Cause 4 only!
Hello there! I have found a way to push tornadoes to Aeropuerto General Benitez, Quya or even Kunka. Ever wanted to have an electrical storm and a tornado together? Well now you can with this tutorial.
Firstly, you will need these three things.
Prospero Skycrane
Wind Cannon
Patience (and lots of it!)
Here's how to do it.
Grab a skycrane.
Attach a wind cannon to the skycrane.
Fly to a tornado.
SLOWLY push the tornado to anywhere you want (except the desert or northern mountain region). Please keep in mind that Black Hand will attack your wind cannon. AOC jets may fly into your skycrane (I found out the hard way.)
Chase the tornado.
With this, I have pushed tornadoes as far north as Umiña. I have activated the lightning storm while the tornado tore through Phuyu-Kuni, Kunka, and Urqu Verde. The results are amazing. You should have the ion coil storm chaser after beating the game. With said ion coil storm chaser, you can chase tornadoes through an electrical storm, which itself presents the hazards of low visibility and lightning.
I hope this tutorial helps.
I will really appreciate it if any of you can answer these questions I have after reading that article.
So I played JC4 on xbox only. Maybe those who contributed to that page played PC hence the difference in our experience but still.
1. It's written that the storms spawned by the lightning gun cannot occur when near a tornado or sandstorm but I've successfully spawned lightning storms in a sandstorm.
2. While I've seen the white and blue lightning, I've never seen the most powerful blue lightning described in the article.
Moreover, Rico never dies just by lightning alone if he's at full health. He may be near death but not dead really.
I will be grateful if any of you could share a video showing what was described in the article especially the 'illusion crate', the destruction of giant destructible objects, the remains of a destroyed objects as described as "it would be destroyed without a single remain (such as vehicle/military asset structures) nor a trace of its past existence except for flaming dust and ash".
3. Lastly has any of you ever had a storm spawned at random?

Arrange them in order, from favourite to least.
Here is my list of personal favourite storms:
Thunderstorm - Super-powerful storm. Lightning literally obliterates everything it strikes. I like to watch a huge bolt of lightning vaporises objects into oblivion. I love lightning storms. They make the affected area living hell. Well, to me it's entertainment, to the NPCs it's hell.
Tornado - This is likely more powerful than thunderstorms but I still like thunderstorms more, since there's lightning. Tornados are a column of destruction that send things spiralling into the air before disappearing into the tornado, never to be seen again.
Blizzard - Don't like this one as much. The snow is annoying but causes no destruction, the wind isn't as strong as the tornado so it doesn't cause things to slam into the ground and blow up. The lightning is just a duplicate of lightning storms. Ugh, I don't like blizzards as much.
Sandstorm - Sandstorms cause more destruction than blizzards (minus the lightning, obviously) because occasionally a jet or helicopter crashes to the ground. Chaos and destruction? Not nearly enough. Annoying? Very. I hate the poor visibility. It doesn't make these storms feel strong like thunderstorms or tornados, it just makes them feel annoying and desperate for attention.
Also, I purposely didn't make it a poll because most people would vote for the tornado. I want to see what people think about the other three storms as well.
