Violent Supercell Thunderstorm- Silverton, TX June 13th, 2009

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

I'm glad that you have found my videos informative! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch them. As you've seen, we like to get close, but not too close. Always respect nature is our motto and we put safety first.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Many of my British friends have said the same exact thing! I hope you get the chance to come over here and chase one day :) Thanks so much for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@L12weather Thanks for watching Leonardo! Glad you enjoyed the video, and yep....here in the US we do get a lot of incredible storms. Hope you are able to travel to the US one of these years to see them for yourself!!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Thank you for watching it! Much appreciated! And yes, I don't like obscuring my videos with music, etc. Let the storms do the talking!

[@DuBBleXX]

Thanks for the awesome video ! It will vastly help to get through the cold winter until the next season starts again ! Greetings from Germany

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@ExtremeSpinner99 Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@123Oreoz4u Thanks for watching!!! Really glad you enjoyed my video :) And yes, can't wait for storm season either!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@finalis70 Thank you for watching!! So happy you enjoyed the video!!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@robrob18 Will do! And thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed the vid

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Florida gets some incredible lightning displays for sure! I'll be going back there in early August to document more storms!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@extremeweatherfilms Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. And yes, I was using a small HDV cam mounted to my windshield for the in the car shots. I'm a stickler for steady video, lol. I try to use my tripod as much as possible when outside the vehicle, but there are times where you have to shoot hand held. And I love 16:9 too! Thanks again for watching and commenting

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Will do! Thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@lexx0703 That was an incredible storm without a doubt!! Thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@The2Coolest2 Thanks!! And during that segment you mention that was dust and dirt getting picked up and pulled into the storms updraft region. The inflow with this supercell storm was amazing!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Will do and thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@LuvsTstormTapes Glad you enjoyed James! Yes, this storm was amazing and intense for sure!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@STICKGUYMB That was the wall cloud so there would be minimal precipitation in that area, but what you could have driven right into would have been a tornado. Definitely not an area you want to drive under that's for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@OfficialYoungAve Absolutely perfect! lol....doesn't get better than that! Thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@1weathernut You're welcome Mike! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@TallSky]

Looks like a good adrenaline rush. Glad to see you're driving safely in spite of wanting to reach viewpoints quickly.

[@Jazzgirl8888]

Hi Scott ! This sure was an intense storm . This footage is truly amazing ! Love watching your great vids :) Thanks for posting !

[@extremeweatherfilms]

Thx for posting, beautiful structure. As always, very professionally filmed -- even in your vehicle, your footage is steady (looks tripoded). Looks liked it was filmed in 16:9 -- can't beat that panoramic effect !! Very cool !!!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@MartiniStrom Thanks for watching!! Next spring I plan on doing a lot more time lapse sequences! Definitely a good idea there :) Too bad about your storm season though, I hope next years is better for you!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Nope, that was a very large wall cloud with a ton of inflow dust getting pulled into the updraft area. A very intense storm for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@McSWTHART Hi! And thanks for watching my video :) A supercell storm is defined as a single cell storm (one dominate updraft, and one dominant downdraft) that has a persistant, rotating updraft. Only about 25% of all supercells produce tornadoes.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@Jazzgirl8888 Thank you for watching! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video :)

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@cardounts92 It was an amazing storm without a doubt. Thanks for watching!!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@NathansNatureVideos Thanks Nathan!!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@Torn80cj Thanks!! And yes, I've been there myself where you want to drive just a little more so you can get into a good position to film, just to have the damn tornado fizzle on you, lol. Ugh that is so frustrating! Thanks for watching once again :)

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@larry2043 Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed :) I've been going through some of my master tapes and I'm coming across some chase days that were only up until now on my dvd, but not here on KZbin.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@26bengalsfan Thanks for the kind words! Hopefully you'll make your dream come true one day soon! Thanks so much for watching and commenting

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@ganzfan9 Yep, you got that right! dangerous but fascinating at the same time. Thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@lightningchaser111 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the vid. And yeah, here in NYC we don't see anything like this either for the most part :)

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@GonzaMart24 Thank you!! :)

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@manga4774 I have a lot of friends from Toronto that come down to Tornado Alley and chase storms every year. These storms are really an amazing sight to see, as long as they are out over open country. unfortunately that isn't always the case. Thanks so much for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

LOL...yeah it was a pretty hairy situation for sure. Thanks for watching!

wwooww Thas's really amazing. great video Scott !! :D

[@MrAman707]

this is why I want to move to the states - in england you'd never get to experiance something as exciting as this - the only time i have seen an immense thunderstorm was in florida and it was like a light show illuminating the night sky - so epic

[@Swanty32eMachineVideos]

Rolling Shutter effects on the car wipers, they get bended every time they moving in the front of the lens, typical CMOS sensor artifact...But from a other side, the video seems pretty awesome...Great footage....

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@huracanado1 Thanks!! And hopefully you'll be able to get out to the plains at some point next year!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@louigyboss Glad you enjoyed!!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@TallSky Yes, lol......it was pretty hairy but we still did our best to keep the driving safe :) Thanks for watching!!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@GermanFireFighter95 Thanks!!!

[@Torn80cj]

Great storm footage. I was in Kansas on this day and saw a brief tornado in Cimmaron. I got greedy and missed filming it because I was trying to get closer. It fizzled as I was finally getting to the spot I wanted to film it from. Another storm formed and cut the inflow off of the one I was on.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@DuBBleXX Yes, the dreaded SDS sets in until next spring, lol. Hopefully we'll get a few good snow storms here this winter to get me through until then! All the best to you and thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@skateboy159 Rain X is great! We actually did apply it that day but it all washed off pretty quickly, lol

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Not everyone loves storms that's for sure. They are incredibly beautiful at times, but can be terribly destructive at the same time.

[@L12weather]

VERY Very very very beautiful and unusual, here in Italy we never see tornadoes or other. You're very lucky! Leonardo

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Thanks for watching! Yes, as amazing as these storms are, nature has to be respected too. We always put safety first. No shot is worth putting yourself in unnecessary danger.

[@JeanAlexandre707]

That was a kinda strong mesocyclone for pushing that impressive inflow! Great chase! And you just emerged from the rain lol

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@Lukasz564 Same here in NYC. We very rarely, if ever get storms like this here in my area either. Well, with the exception of last month of course. lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@MissWWE20 It doesn't want to end here either in NYC! ha ha...got another noreaster on the way for this Friday, what the hell!!?? Bring on spring already :) Thanks for watching

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@DigitEditRelease Thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@chemicalwarfare224 The inflow was insane! Thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@Thunderbolt1000T It was loud! Definitely a storm that meant business!! Thanks for watching!

[@1weathernut]

Great Job Scott!!! Thanks for sharing. Mike

[@robrob18]

You always Capture amazing weather, I am so jelouse, hehehe. Be safe out there buddy!!

[@123Oreoz4u]

This is soooooooo awsome. Ive always loved tornadoes and thunderstorms..OMG i can't wait until storm season(:

[@christophevidallouigy11]

Beautiful chase and imresive supercell

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@swanty32e Yep, my dash cam is a Canon HV20 HDV Cam (CMOS sensor)...the other camera I use which is my main one is the Sony Z1, LOVE that one! Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

LOL....my old 86' Camaro had slow wipers, I know what you mean! thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@skateboy159 Good call! We'll definitely look into that for next season :)

[@MartiniStrom]

Impressive structures ! Great Video. Thought about making a timelapse especially of the rotating structures ? This year we had a bad season in germany - thunderstroms where quite rare in 2010.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Ah yes, lol....they look strange indeed. That was light refraction from the filter I was using on my lens. The Ambulance lights is what triggered that. Thanks for watching!

[@WetPooooopie]

Awesomely made and nature is great to do that

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@RebornLayneStaley Thanks for watching! Actually, I don't have any employees at all...just me and my friend Dave and my SUV full of gear. We foot the bill for the entire thing too but we love getting out there on the road every year so it's all worth it :)

[@manga4774]

I love storms. i never get anything near this beautiful in toronto

[@ExtremeSpinner99]

Very nice supercell thunderstorm, greate video !

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@lelsieldeleon37 Supercells can occur anywhere in the world. They are more common in places like the mid west USA, but they can and do occur anywhere as long as the conditions are there.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Thankfully I haven't! I take lightning very seriously all though just doing what I do comes with certain risk. I try to minimize that risk as much as I possibly can

[@rokkendokken82]

keeps ur vids up!! there great! :D

[@Theweatherlady90]

Very nice! Hopeing for a good storm season this year. Here in MO winter don't seem to want to end lol.

[@chemicalwarfare224]

Wow! Those scuds are getting sucked into the updraft like a vacuum!

[@lexx0703]

Lucky to be in a prime position like that. A dust bowl somewhere back and the inflow coming from it so you can actually see dust getting sucked into it!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

There are several great chase tour companies that while are a bit expensive, will give you two weeks on the road and you'll get to see some incredible storms. Cloud 9 Tours is the best in my opinion

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Wait, I'm confused lol. Not a violent supercell thunderstorm?? This was a classic violent supercell thunderstorm. This storm was putting out baseball hail (which we managed to avoid but several friends got caught in it. It had screaming inflow, a huge wall cloud, and did produce a tornado, albeit short lived. It had the classic flying eagle shape to it as well on radar.

[@bengorski6069]

This is the exact day I was born. My mom told me when I got older that during my birth there had been a tornado warning. This may have been it.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Wow that's crazy! I bet you're right and that this was the actual storm. Thanks for watching!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@alfru94 Thank you!!! :)

[@LindaKitch]

Keep them comming Scott!

[@lightningchaser111]

we struggle to get OUTFLOW strong enough to raise dust here in oz :( nice video

[@STICKGUYMB]

2:27 If you were to go into the middle of that thing, what exactly would there be? Just a thick 'fog' with heavy rain/hail and lightning?

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

@JeanAlexandre707 That storm was a beast for sure! Great chase indeed :)

[@SessRoarkeCianNaruLv]

Wish my wipers were that fast! They're like old grandparents...

[@MrCITYBOI01]

Crazy

[@LuQGames]

Wow beautiful storm! It is a pity that in Poland, such storms are very local: ( Regards Scott ^^

[@RhodianColossus]

Damn. We don't get things this intense in Europe :P

[@luiscanamarvega]

2:30 .. is that a downburst?

[@Plaguebob]

and I'm glad for that..

[@LisaLossong]

wow

[@zippybomb]

Hi, a few years back when I was 8 or 9 I was camping and I got caught in what I think was either a microburst or a supercell in Algonquin Park. I was wondering which you would think it would have been. Trees fell everywhere around us, crisscrossing our campsite, it was a hugely powerful storm and very dangerous. We found a huge circle in the forest where all the trees had been pushed outwards from the center. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

[@Tstorms]

There is lightning throughout this video, how exactly did you miss it?

[@Copilotdave]

I would be scared and wowed

[@rokkendokken82]

no prob :)

[@miyasdad1]

Wow..

[@MrAman707]

lol, you sit in your bathtub, I love storms xD

[@Tstorms]

I didn't miss what you wrote, I wrote lightning because without lightning it wouldn't be a thunderstorm at all. Also, it was a violent supercell thunderstorm, obviously. Just look at it.

[@Musicplay30]

You could actualy hear the wind!!!

@zippybomb maybe it was a downburst caused by a severe thunderstorm

[@Irukei]

@ 2:30 "Holy cow!" That's exactly the same thing I said right then XD

[@stlchevy95]

Woah beaver tale @ 4:23 :-D
