Santa Clarita Acton Fire Smoke Plume Time lapse

A short video showing the time lapse footage captured from a forest fire in Acton, CA on 9/3/2007. The fire was intense for a while, sending water vapor and particulate matter high enough to create cumulus-like clouds over Palmdale. The music is "The Bass Voice (final version) from the "Solo" CD by Technician. More time lapse video and music by Technician at JCMDI.COM.

I love how it turned unto a pyro-cumulus cloud at the top. I still have pics of it

I hear that really intense fires can produce pyrocumulus with lightning! I haven't ever seen it myself, but it would be an interesting capture :-)

looks like a tornado when u think about it

[jcmegabyte]

Yea, it kinda does - thanks for checking it out!

cool to see in time lapse.

[jcmegabyte]

I thought so too. One thing for sure, there will be more to film with all the fires we have here! Thanks for stopping by :-)

As spectacular as these fire plumes can be, there's almost always some tragic event(s) associated with them... hopefully your losses weren't too bad..

why do you enable adds, it fucks up the sound if you click just when the adds pop up

This was a medium-sized forest/brush fire that broke out in the desert mountains nearby. The heat from the fire carried the smoke and water vapor up where it cooled and condensed into a cumulus cloud, called a "pyro-cumulus". Many forest fires do this, and I thought it would be interesting to time lapse it.
