#  For a strong wind as in a hurricane or tornado one should make the Bracha of Oseh Maaseh Beresheet. <Ref>S”A 227:1, Mishna Brurah 227:4 writes that any wind which is uncommon is sufficient for a Bracha. See also Vezot HaBracha (pg 156) who writes that it must be a very strong wind. </ref>

Halacha Brurah 227:6 agrees with Mishna Brurah and gives hurricanes and tornadoes as examples. See also Vezot HaBracha (pg 156) who writes that it must be a very strong wind. </ref>

# For lightning and thunder, if they come at the same time or right after one another and one didn’t start to make any Bracha, only make Oseh Maaseh Beresheet and it will cover both, however, if there’s a break and one already began to say Oseh Maaseh Beresheet on the lightning, then one should later say SheCocho UGevurato Maaleh Olam on the thunder. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 227:5, Vezot HaBracha (pg 153) in name of Rav Elyashiv </ref> Additionally, if one didn’t see the lighting and only heard thunder one should make a SheCocho UGevurato Maaleh Olam and then if later one sees lightning one should make Oseh Maaseh Beresheet. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 227:5 </ref>
