Lightning over Kanopolis.

This was captured beneath a particularly intense and at times nearly supercell thunderstorm that ranged across central Kansas on May 8, 2021. I set up two cameras, one on an intervalometer and the other with a lightning trigger.

This was actually the result of a timed exposure with the invervalometer engaged and speaks to the intensity of the lightning barrage that I was able to capture multiple bolts in a single 5 second exposure.

I was watching the storm from the safety of my car, with the proximity and frequency of the lightning strikes hitting a little too close for comfort!

A right-moving #supercell is chewed up by a squall line in southern #Germany, yesterday. The cell first benefited from orographically induced shear in the area of the Ostalb, then later from favorable conditions in the near storm environment of the approaching line.

A good example that supercells can develop specifically in structured terrain even in apparently rather undynamic initial situations.

Hooray! It's #supercellsunday!
Today we are heading to #Dalhart, #Texas. On May 15, we were able to intercept an HP #supercell that had an extremely high #lightning frequency. The CG flashes were striking every second from the shelf cloud towards the ground. Thus, a discharge made it on almost every photo. However, we were constantly on the run from a dusty outflow boundary. In the end it drove us all the way to southwest #Kansas.

It's time to revive an old #hashtag trend. Under #supercellsunday I will show a photo from my #StormChasing tours every Sunday starting today. I would be very happy to share photos with you. :)

Today I want to start with my highlight of this year, the LP #supercell from May 14, taken not far from "Twister"-#Wakita, #Oklahoma. Just in time for the blue hour, this isolated cell unfolded its full beauty and gave us an unforgettable moment.
