aviatoreb Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Ever since I was a kid I always loved big thunderstorms, and even better a good hurricane - I don't mean to hurt people - I just mean the marvel of all that natural wild energy forming itself. Here is a beautiful storm: Just don't fly into one of those if you see it! No radar need to stay out of that. Just eyeballs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyNameIsNobody Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 That is a thing of beauty and POWER! Thank you for sharing. I experienced a Tornado (development/mature/breaking up) and have several videos, but they are MOV and won't load on Mooneyspace. Teach me how and I will share. They are impressive. Not a huge funnel, but close and very well defined. I was far enough away to be safe, but was never comfortable shooting the event. No injuries to humans so all good. I was on my way to Des Moines for work and spotted it. I pulled over thinking "going in their basement" as it looked like it was coming right at me. The track was hard to identify. Ended up with a good seat for the show. Nature is AWESOME! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy0681 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 This appears to me to be an animation. Looking at the right side there is a continuous lightning bolt and nothing in the video is moving other than the swirl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff_S Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I don't think the original post is fake. It's just a time lapse with only a few shots that are then looped. You can tell by looking at the bottom of the cloud. But it could be a composite of several images as well. So tough to know in this day of CGI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
