Night Supercell South of Us -About 10pm Tonight -Tremonton UT -081924 Lightning Every Second -Part 1

That was an incredible display of lightning! I saw that storm on NWS radar and as it was approaching from the SW it was very large and intense! Definitely looked like a supercell to me! It was severe warned too. I looked at radar later and noticed it was impacting your area and it had split into a couple of cores. I figured you were probably getting hammered by it! I knew a video would be out haha!

@@johngligo4049 When I got home from dinner at Ruth's Diner up Emigration Canyon, I also saw a notification on my Midland WR400 weather radio for a severe thunderstorm warning. About an hour later, I got another SVR for what was probably another piece of the same thunderstorm. Jo mentioned that the thunderstorm split and the two halves of the storm curved onto the same east-northeast path up the canyons near Ogden toward Evanston, Wyoming.

I saw one just before this over the northern sky on the way home from dinner at Ruth's Diner this evening, coming back into the Salt Lake Valley from Emigration Canyon. Nighttime thunderstorms like this are so beautiful. I agree: thunderstorms that are this electrically active are a treat to behold, especially here in Utah. You would expect such an electrically active thunderstorm in the Midwest. Pecos Hank did a video on a thunderstorm with this magnitude of electrical activity, but I think he is based in Texas or Oklahoma.

Yes Pecos Hank is my FAV storm chaser. My older brother first introduced me to Pecos' video channel on KZbin a few years ago. The storm you saw, and I saw tonight (I think) was a supercell. It was nice and compact, then a couple pieces broke off and headed north to where I am. Thanks for watching!

@joharrison6014 Ah, now that you mention it, we could have easily been looking at the same thunderstorm from different angles. I was looking at the southern elevation of the storm from Salt Lake City, and you were looking at the northern elevation of the storm from your home near Tremonton, which is about an hour's drive north of me. Yes, supercell thunderstorms are not very common here in Utah, that's for sure! It also had the classic structure of a supercell, with a towering body and an anvil at the top of the cloud.

I think the credit should be given to the BIG Storm, I was just ready with all my recording devices... Thats all I accomplished XD

Did you see that storm from August 17th night

[@Jharrison6014]

August 17th yes :) I will find the best of ones I videoed. I'll have it posted later today.
