We've certainly had our share of stormy weather over the past several weeks. A fellow employee (thanks Debra) sent me this video of a supercell storm time lapse from Oklahoma.
You might define a supercell as a thunderstorm with a deep rotating updraft (mesocyclone). In fact, the major difference between supercell and multicell storms is the element of rotation in supercells. As you will see in the video below, these storms do have quite the rotation, and if conditions are right, can produce tornadoes.
Learn more about supercells here...after watching the video :) --Brent
