Time Lapse: Developing Thunderstorms Over Erie County PA 8/18/11

I was lucky enough to catch one storm forming an anvil. We don't get such a sight very often here since it's usually overcast before the storms come over the horizon. It's funny, as I remarked to another YouTuber about how I had been unable to get a time lapse of a thunderstorm, and then I got two in just a few days. Shot from Erie PA. The storms were probably near the Erie-Crawford line. I might have made it longer, but the batteries on may camera died.

I see you got the thunderstorm. Nice. I would like to get a tornadic supercell vid like this, but my urge to see the tornado will over power me and keep me from ever getting the timelapse of a tornadic supercell from this kind of distance.

This was something of a rare treat form me. There have only been a handful of times that I've gotten a god view of a thunderstorm anvil.
