Welcome back! In episode 4, we answer two questions about weather. What causes thunder? What is thunder made of? These great questions were sent to us by a third grader from Illinois.

Mike Caplan, a TV meteorologist at FOX 32 Chicago, was kind enough to answer our questions via messaging. Listen to learn the answers, some background on Mike Caplan, and his tips for success.

You can find Mike on Facebook @MikeCaplanMeteorologist or at https://www.fox32chicago.com/person/c/mike-caplan. You can also watch him do the morning weather report on Good Day Chicago.
