Clever text, Russell. As for Chris's comment about the temperature of the air: it's all relative, isn't it? A T-storm is often born of a column of rising air that is warmer than the surounding air.

Hey, thanks for the comments. You're right, Bill, it is all relative.
Chris, the sentence you mention refers to the warm, moist air that fuels T-storms. You're correct that the air cools as it rises, but if we're being sticklers, no thunderstorm is completely "full" of just hot or cold air.
