Lightning Timelapse St.louis Supercell Tornadic Thunderstorm 4/22/2011

i took this timelapse during the tornado warning, two clips from it almost look like a funnel cloud. the hook echo part of the storm passed directly over my house so its looking in the right direction if it was one, who knows real hard to tell at night. monster storm hit st.louis april 22 2011 and the lightning was pure crazy. here is a timelapse of it.

Dude if theres a tornado get in the house

[StormsFishingNMore]

@kkloomis i had the radar on inside. was constantly going in and out to check it. this was as the storm was approaching the part where the tornado would be if there was one was still 20 mins behind this when i made this. Eventually went to the basement when it got closer.

2 spots in this video that could i guess be a possible funnel cloud. this is from the 2nd and southern storm just south of stl. (not the storm that tore up the airport) this storm did have a hook echo on it with tornado warning with the hook echo going directly over my house so i guess its possible that at the :58 mark that lowering could be a funnel, also maybe that finger extending down at at the 1:00 area in top left. hard to say with it this fast and at night. but possible i guess.

how long was your camera filming? i was blown away at some of those in the dark, totally zeus' thunderbolt.

@Thaddeus088 not long at all, the first 2 frames where you see the cloud moving in was maybe 10 mins, then when you see all the flashes and the clouds moving with it was maybe 20 mins.

it was a wicked storm even by st louis standards, we had some baseball size hail here in st charles

[StormsFishingNMore]

@carbonunit no hail here with tonights storms, but did have hail in the late morning ones.

Almost looks like a tornado on the ground, or very close, behind the tree area at the 0:59 mark. Definitely some rotation.

I cant believe there were EF3 tornadoes hitting southern Illinois...

[pinkladycms]

That's insane, it totally looked like a tornado! Where in St. Louis did you film this?

[whodunit4]

I had my husband watch (without telling him anything) and he said, there's a tornado on that frame! Wow!

[whodunit4]

Sorry, not :46, 1:00-1:01...somewhere in there

[whodunit4]

At :46, if you hold that frame, did you catch a bit of a tornado?!?
