Big Lake, TX Supercell Time Lapse

Here’s another time lapse, this time from the Big Lake area in Texas on May 24th, 2014.

The storm had a rotating wall cloud, but was beginning to weaken as we approached it. A short time later we dropped south to a nearby supercell. We ended up driving through nickel to ping pong sized hail before the storm went tornado-warned.

Stopping the car to bring my camera back inside.

This time lapse focuses on the first supercell and ends up with the hail. Because of the resolution and speed, the hail can’t be seen. A few minutes later I stopped the car to bring in the camera, in fear that large hail might have knocked it off the suction cup mount.
