hey, was this the supercell that later produced the 7 inch hailstone in aurora nebraska? I need to know!

No it wasn't that storm. The Aurora, NE storm happened on June 22, 2003.

One of the best time-lapse videos I've yet to see.....this really captures the rolling, churning, and awe-striking nature of the great plains supercell....and thankfully it is not distracted with music! Excellent job!

In theory: If the atomic bomb exploded under Normal Storm.This is the normal storm will turn into a Tropical Storm?And if the atom bomb explodes in the ocean under a tropical storm.Then Tropical Storm becomes Supercell Storm or Hurricane.When there is more energy and water vapour Then the transition occurs. Is that it works?

@egyptianlily I'm a storm chaser and Is actually horizontally rotating column of air within the supercell itself caused by atmospheric shear or (changing of winds with height )it is then forced vertically by the updraft of the thunderstorm creating a mesocyclone within the supercell. And with enough low level shear and instability would create a rotating wall cloud to form and depending on how strong the rotation is can either than cause a funnel cloud or a tornado to form.

It did formed a tornado, because I saw a little thing coming out of that storm.!!!!

@McSWTHART this is just a super cell storm, although many of these can form tornadoes, this one didn't. a tornado occurs when horizontal wind shear on the ground is forced up by the super cells updraft, which then creates a vertical, rotating, wind shear in the supercell, this usually causes a funnel cloud to come down from the storm and touch the ground as a tornado.

Why would anyone be on the road?

[MalusBam]

this video shows just perfectly how a wallcloud develops from the humidity that comes into the lift of the cell

absolutely fantastic, well done!
