Fascinating to watch it at work. It can, as we saw here, tear a hurricane apart in just a few hours.

You can watch it in the desert (Tucson AZ, for instance) during the monsoon season. Thunderheads start building up, get higher and higher, and then suddenly the top gets knocked off of them and streams off in another direction.
