Incredible video of a rapidly rotating supercell just north of Santa Rosa, Argentina on January 5, 2010. This storm came so close to producing a tornado, with a textbook wall cloud and intense clockwise rotation. Note how the mesocyclone is rotating the opposite of what we have in the Northern Hemisphere. Video shot by JR Hehnly. Storm chasing team Scott Currens, JR Hehnly, Reed Timmer, Chris Chittick, Chris Whiteneck, Bobo, Seamone, and Argentinian meteorology students Ramiro and Matias.

  • this is a high speed video or a timelapsed picture?

  • It's a timelapse! J.R. had the camera on a tripod and just sped up the video.

  • It looked like the rotation was counterclockwise, though I know weather systems are clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

  • we are looking west at it!  Note how the rain free base is on the north side. it's clockwise I promise!
