| | French translation:éclair | Explanation:
A power flash is a flash that occurs during a tornado (see wikipedia link). I can't find an accurate translation, it seems it's simply calles "éclair" in French, but maybe it's because we don't get much tornadoes here ! I just found articles written by storm spotters from Québec, they say power flashes while the rest is in French, maybe there's no translation, but it's true they mix french and english a lot there... |
