Storm Chasers Take Awesome Time Lapse of Supercells
Storm chasers following one of the many supercell thunderstorms that developed on Wednesday also caught this awesome time lapse video of two "mothership" supercells in Oklahoma and Texas.
A "mothership" cloud develops in a supercell when the mesocyclone — the broad, vertical column of rotation in the supercell — develops a tall column of clouds that looks like a stack of pancakes or, as the term suggests, how some imagine an alien mothership would appear.
