Strong storms often seem to leave behind random destruction: While the roof tiles of one house are blown away, the neighboring property may not be damaged at all. What causes these differences are wind gusts – or, as physicists say, local turbulence. It results from large-scale atmospheric flows, but up to now, it is impossible…
