Keep in mind that the outer bands of a hurricane may have embedded supercells. This one is particularly impressive.

@molonlave2010 . That is a rain band or outer squall. Certainly Hurricanes and tropical storms have super cells in the feeder bands that rotate into a hurricane and they look exactly like this. They can contain a lot of lightning or none, they can spawn weak F0,1, 2, & rarely 3 tornados and high straight line winds as they rapidly move through a area. Outer bands rapidly move and from high winds to calm and light overcast in minutes

You people trying to sound educated actually sound dumb. When they say approach of hurricane gustav they mean probably the first rain bands. Which is still the hurricane approaching! I am from Louisiana born and raised, and went through Katrina and Gustav and it's not just instant bad weather like a tornado. It starts off with storms, then severe storms, then the actual hurricane, then some more rain and wind(light) but it's all part of the hurricane! Geeze
I agree with you, hurricanes don't look like that. I studied meterology, that is a supercell thunderstorm.

You can see the greenish tint of the hail in it. Worst thing I ever saw was a supercell above my head before it let loose. Almost directly above me was a funnel cloud, smooth and solid in appearance, and wide open on the bottom so that I could look partially inside and up into it. THAT was something.
