Thanks for the info polmac7. Good to know others seen it as well. I was amazed no thunder came from it either. A quiet beast. Cheers.

Hi Karen and thanks very much for the feedback!. Nice to hear from someone in Nebraska. I have have no idea why no lightning was produced although it could have been producing electrics before it arrived at my location. Sferic charts showed some strikes. I read on Wikipedia that some meso/LP supercells produce very little lightning compared to the HP version. This one was a quite giant. Thanks

I followed this link from Ukweatherworld. I'm in Nebraska and catching something like this is spectacular. I had one question? Why isn't there lightening. I've tried to watch storms of this magnitude but it's never safe to be outside.

BTW your website is awesome!

Hi Supercellstorm and thanks very much for your comments. I hope you get some storms soon. Would like to see some dust devils here. The camera I used was a Fujifilm S6500FD 6.3MP. It used a wide angle 28mm lens with superwide angle convsersion lens attached to this. The full field is near what the human naked eye sees!. Thanks

Menacing cumulonimbus supercelular! was a storm with rotating upwelling, large video that thunderstorm, Spain we have not yet been able to live a situation of storms in August, but we have opportunities to capture dust devils daily!

Greetings and great video, as you use wide-angle lens on your camera? that camera you use?
