Modern truths about violent weather event (12)
I believe the answer is:
thunderstorm
'violent weather event' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'modern truths about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'modern'+'truths'='moderntruths'
'moderntruths' is an anagram of 'THUNDERSTORM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thunderstorm that I've seen before include "Bad weather" , "Loud flashy display" , "Violent weather" , "Occasion for lightning" , "Brontophobe's torment" .)
