'Old Weather Pics' is a Twitter account that — as the name suggests — takes you back in time with vintage photographs of weather phenomena. From stunning lightning strikes to powerful snowstorms and hurricanes, the account has plenty of reasons to remind everyone why we appreciate the power of nature.

It was created in 2014 and seems to have stopped posting in 2021, but during those seven years, it shared plenty of interesting and rarely seen images, so we decided to commemorate the work that went into this interesting little online project presenting to you, dear Pandas, their uploads that we enjoyed the most.
