It is rainin' like crazy here in Laurel County Kentucky and now it is hailin'. Now there is a Tornado warnin' out for Laurel County cause there is alot of rotation in the sky. Well, Gotta go for shelter.
I agree 100% I'm out there for the "ominous beauty " of the storm as a whole, if we see a tornado, excellent! ( of course, if we see anything dangerous the SKYWARN aspect kicks in.)
That formation is called the "Mammatus", a very distinctive cloud and also most admired by everyone - often makes the most popular shots in weather photography.
They do indeed signal a good chance for hail as the Mammatus is indicative of the storm's strongest phase. However, this isn't always the case since hail formations have to do with the actual strength of the updraft and the amount of precipitable water that exists in the storm. Windshear is also ideal.
Fantastic captures - were the storms in the UK or USA? Doesn't matter - beautifully terrifying to a StormFraider like me - weather fascinates, but scares me (especially when approaching or overhead). And that last shot - of the lightning - WOW Adding to favorites, thank you -
omg i just love this video i love watching tornado form and deform, it is just so cool i hope i can do this at least once in my life ,one of the funnel clouds that i saw in the video looks like one that i saw here in midland ontario canada , we had a freak storm the sky was green after witch meant that there could of been a tornado i am glad that there wasnt on thow... thx for the video !!!:):):):D
Yes! This is very much so true, the chaser who goes out with only catching a tornado as a success on his mind will experience a very disappointing season. A good, photogenic supercell is all I need to have a great chase and I've even had some good blue sky busts that were worth the trip.
wow. this is what storm chasing is REALLY about, it's not all tornadoes, folks. Excellent collection, love the backlit mammatus clouds near the beginning. Wish i coulda been there.
I experience much of the same during a chase with NCAR meteorologists as the videographer/storm chaser has documented here. It brings back excitement, fascination and the joy we experienced. We weren't disappointed that a tornado didn't cross our path, though the sale of good tornado footage would pay for the gas. This is the reality of storm chasing in its truest form. Chase on, my friends! I'm subscribing!
Nature is full of wonder. Even Issac Newton said before he died," I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shall than ordniary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." Time and Scientists will cave more truth out from our nature.
wow, beautiful. question for anyone here, i'm sure i'm not alone.. but does anyone else get that gut feeling of sheer energy as a storm approaches? i know i do, it's so intense, it's like i can feel the pulse of the storm within me.
nice,i also agree with the fact there is more to chasing than just tornadoes.exesally were i live.if all i did was tornadoes then i wouldnt have much chases.this is a great vid
Had to watch it again!!! Eyepopping and spectacular. I especially liked the roll clouds rolling. Doing the time lapse makes it easier to see what's actually happening. Otherwise storms seem to move rather slowly.
amazing they way some of those clouds shapes are, i've only seen clouds spinning and twisting like that a couple of times, bubblin95 it was probably hail, when clouds touching the ground that thick, or it was very heavy rain, nice video
