Probably one of the best Timelapsed Videos I have ever seen - Only wish it had happened about 1 week earlier, this shows you how much these Supercells Rotate in the US.

From 17th June 2010

That's incredible footage! Really fascinating to see structures develop during the life-cycle of the supercell, especially the wall clouds....and damn! that thing was dropping funnels for fun!

I'm at work, but I presume it's Skip Talbot's Keister-Conger-Albert Lea timelapse video which is insane :) His timelapse of the May 22nd Bowdle-Roscoe, SD Wedge is almost as good also :) Do check it out. I so wish you could buy those robotic roof mounts from Walmart or something :)

I've got a few specialist DVDs showing some good rotation Paul - perhaps I'll pop them in the post.

Nice youtube clip :)

Double wow! That was incredible the way some of the low cloud bases rotated like that. That is one of the best cloud rotations I have seen from a Super Cell Thunderstorm. :)

Guess there must have been a lot of instability in the air, with updrafts at their strongest around the lowered cloud bases.

As excellent as that video is, it only serves to remind me of how bad mine of the same storm is in comparison :)

That is the best footage of a supercell I have seen, EVER!! Absolutely amazing!

For some of those on here who claim (in the UK) "we had a supercell this afternoon" or, "we had a supercellular storm this afternoon"...watch this and see what aspects of said storms really are supercellular! A bit of rotation in a cloud base is not a supercell :)

Still reeling for how staggering that video is...great find Paul!!

Fantastic video. The inflow belt at the beginning looks like a yoyo string being wound up into that HUGE system. Great to watch when sped up. :shok:
