Darling Downs HP Monster 17th Nov 2012 Part 2

This second part shows the intense lightning that occurred during this storm. The sound was recorded in 5.1 surround, which sounded great until recode.Also it is after sunset hence the poor video quality. I try to outrun the storm to the east but get enveloped, at stage there is some suspect cloud motion. The last scenes are from my motel at Kilcoy. At this stage with the CAP decayed and a US style convective complex of thundery rain had broken out which lasted most of the night.

[@MadWXChasing]

Absolutely incredible! Easily one of the craziest thunderstorms I have ever seen! Nice video!

6:28 that is some very suspicious storm behavior. Clear rotation. I'm an advanced SKYWARN storm chaser in Texas. I've seen that before tornadoes strike.

Thanks Mate, another chase crew said they saw a funnel, appreciate you taking time to watch

It is scary outside with the storms in Darling Downs, Australia 🇦🇺

[@ozthunder]

It is one of the best places in Australia for severe storms and areas like Cecil plains look just like western Kansas. The flatness and lack of trees allows the sky to dominate the landscape.

[@Pranshu_Z]

So beautiful and darkest cumulonimbus cloud!

We storms like that in Texas, especially with all the open space. I've been caught in a downburst before, man that is a crazy experience.

[@ozthunder]

Much nastier storms in Texas, I have been there a couple of times

[@sunnyday9410]

I live in pennsylvania.the lightning we have is nothing compared to this.that is scary!

Thanks for your comments. if i lived Pennsylvania I would be doing miles every spring to the mid west where you will see lightning like this and more !

[@daquanbenson549]

I really wanna chase storms its actually on my bucket list but its also an interest of mine as a career

[@ozthunder]

A great past time, but if you want to do it at another level study meteorology. If still in high school maximize Math and physics. Good luck.

OH MY LORD!! I just want to witness a storm like this before I die, that's my wish! What is the best place in the world to find storms like these?

if you want a storm like that you best bet in USA Mid West in May. Here in Australia while we do get occasional good ones but there is too much down time between events.

HP - High Precipitation Supercell, LP = Low precipitation Supercell, and the one in between is called a Classic Supercell

I saw at least 4 other chase crews, but none in a position where you could just stroll up and have a chat. There was a small station wagon with what looked like Go pros on the roof at the location on the start of this clip.

[@ozthunder]

[@ItzSeanThatGuyTrainVids]

Then there was Emerald October 2018 with a monster HP tornic supercell and one that also came close to dropping a funnel and with huge hail stones

[@jaggass]

When a supercell is developing is there always a blue sky behind it or can it be cloudy too?

[@ozthunder]

Both, but good point as a supercell can start to dominate the environment around it and kill off nearby storms, thus becoming rather isolated

[@jaggass]

Here in the UK when we have a thunderstorm it just clouds over and rains. Ive seen one or 2 shelf clouds in the UK and a small wall cloud but not a supercell or tornado yet as most go unreported or very weak. Its my favorite type of weather.

[@amikutza16]

Beautiful! Thor was realy angry! :))

[@barbaralane9146]

INDEED HE SURE WAS!!!

[@jaggass]

How does a thunderstorm work opposed to a supercell?

[@ozthunder]

Probablt easier to explain a supercell - has a persistent single rotating updraft. Other thunderstorms fall into several categories, but the most common is just a multicell. Thunderstorms need vertical cloud growth

[@user-mm7dd6dy3y]
