Check out this time lapse of the supercell we intercepted on January 5, 2010 just north of Santa Rosa, Argentina! This storm came soooo close to producing a tornado. The wall cloud was rotating very rapidly and was scraping the ground as it was heading straight for us, with a convective and sharp right edge. Note how the rotation is clockwise, with a very rapid wall cloud evolution. This was by far the best storm chase of the trip, and we intercepted two more strong supercells further north near Cordoba. More pictures and video to come!

Fabulous!! :lol:

We were very excited to watch this on the iMap (in chat). But, it's just SO much better with movement. So strange to see the clockwise motion and even stranger to have seen the tail cloud to the left and the clear slot to the right.

Thanks, guys! You ROCK. :-)

Awesome video. The clockwise rotation is cool to see. And oh so close to putting down a tornado. Looked better than almost any storm seen in Tornado Alley!!
