A Majestic Supercell Timelapse

[@MrBlueboy6666]

There is no greater beauty. One of the best time lapse shots I've ever seen, and I have seen quite a few.

[@FreddyMcKinney]

Appreciate that man!!!!

[@TheFrozenMonkey]

I love the thunderhead at the start ❤​@@FreddyMcKinney

[@MIKEYPOOHBEARJACKSON]

For some of us who never have or seen a supercell. This video is stunning work of art. This formation of a storm is amazing, first I thought a tornado was gonna spin up from it. But it was just heavy rain. And the view from far away and just nothing but flat land no buildings and trees to block the view. I just stare in awe. Just stunning absolutely beautiful. I need to make a trip to those states.

[@jeffriediazramos6616]

But where is the rain shaft within the supercell?

[@tor-WX]

this is why i love the midwest/central plains, these things occur quite often in the spring and they are so easy to spot with no trees or buildings in the way

[@NatureLover-cc2hf]

One of the best cloud videos I’ve ever watched, the structure of the cloud and the rotation looks amazing.

[@lavamanherovlo684]

The churning, twisting clouds are absolutely mesmerizing, this is why i love watching storms

[@FreddyMcKinney]

Same here! Glad you enjoyed the video!

LP supercells just don't get enough love. What a friggin fantastic thing to see. I saw exactly one so far in my life and it was in the eastern plains of New Mexico. What a glorious thing it was to see. I didn't even care about the fact that I was originally cruising for tornadoes. Once I saw it I was floored. Made my month.

[@ponywriter6932]

I love them❤😊

[@paulvanhoevelaak619]

Man, what a show!! Beautiful at every stage. You couldn't have been at a better spot!

[@MorePi]

Nice catch!

[@MarkRosengarten]

What a gorgeous LP storm. Thank you!!!

[@itzrenzo8960]

Low precipitation.? Are low precipitation supercells the only supercells that have these base clouds?

[@MarkRosengarten]

@@itzrenzo8960 Yes, low precip. Nothing else looks like this. Classic supercells have a lot more rain in the core, HP supercells often have the updraft obscured by rain.

[@Cursed_catttt]

Poor thing just faded back to nothing!

[@Astro_Ayaz1]

:( true tho lol

[@RaindropsBleeding]

fantastic shot. you can clearly see the lower level winds in one direction and the higher level winds flowing a different direction, generating a wind shear vortex. very beautiful pedestal cloud too; I was almost expecting a tornado.

[@fbiagentmiyakohoshino8223]

low precipitation supercells are my favorite kind of supercells because you can see all the little details in it, unlike high precipitation supercells (or classic)

[@ExtremwetterDeutschland]

Incredible video! Would love to see such a beautiful LP one day... Greetings from Germany :)

[@StephenStormLog]

Holy moly that was such a good marriage of storm and music. Loved it.

[@Philippine_Navyist16]

Cool lp supercell with those cool laminar striations structures the flanking line so cool

[@theempoweredman7353]

That's a beauty of a supercell. She really wanted an audience.

[@lucasgoodding7857]

Fantastic job

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

Absolutely gorgeous. I would love to one day see such sights with my own eyes.

[@ChickFilA-official]

Guys, how do we tell him

[@1.4142]

Is the tiny hail shaft in the back the rfd?

[@FreddyMcKinney]

Maybe? I’ll be honest I really don’t know on this one.

Fantastic Freddy

[@wrightdobbs]

Lovely timelapse. What were the exposure settings on the images and the interval on images?

[@FreddyMcKinney]

Thank you! For this time lapse I actually just shot video and sped it up. I used a Go Pro Hero 7 with standard 4K settings and a Sony a6400. I’m trying to figure out how to use the interval shooting function for time-lapses myself!

[@matthewmille]

@@FreddyMcKinney I shoot storm and cloud time-lapse videos. I've had some pretty spectacular storms and videos but this is one I'd trade them all for. This is awesome. For storm time-lapse, I will typically take a photo every 2 seconds and create a 24fps video from it. That typically speeds it up to keep it interesting but not so much that's it's over too quickly. The favorite of my storm time-lapse videos is my channel feature video. It's not as removed from the storm as this one. I was right in the thick of it, but I thought it turned out awesome, especially the sunset at the end of the storm.

Nice video, Freddy!!! That was awesome!!! You and John take care and hope to see you guys out chasing soon...

[@larrylieb1049]

[@alphaomega657]

What a beautiful dissipation stage. I feel dissipation of supercells is somewhat overseen but it is very beautiful too.

[@AAARREUUUGHHHH]

That beginning clip is crazy... I've never actually seen wind shear like that !

[@SonOfKerro]

Imagine living in the 1600's and seeing this in the sky. They would struggle like hell trying to communicate what they saw.

[@GailColeman]

About 3 or 4 years ago, Linn County, Iowa had the sirens blow. They had actually stopped sounding, when my young son and I looked up. And right over our street was this weird "upside down bowl" cloud above us and it was slowly turning. We looked at each other, did the "Do you see what I see?!" bit and headed to the basement. It never did come down but I am sure that was a funnel cloud. I had never seen one except on videos. There really IS a beauty to them, if you also keep a healthy respect for what they can do, which is pretty scary!

[@jamiewinterstern2327]

Any lightning with it? Such a tiny, tight little thing ... nice shot

[@FreddyMcKinney]

I don’t believe so. Maybe some CCs but definitely no CGs.

[@alexbuilds706]

[@Philippine_Navyist16]

What a twisted work

[@originaljazzgirl]

Hoooooly canoli! This is amazing. I always wonder why when the storm is going counterclockwise, there seems to be clockwise movement too and I assume that's the inflow bands but it's confusing. This really shows that.

[@bronationgamingultimate6760]

Its amazing how there super powerful thunderstorms just form out in the middle of nowhere

[@roberttennyson3263]

Seriously, am I the only human on earth that can see the otherworldly heavenly beings in these storms?
