Twin Cities Hail Storm- Direct Hit!

On May 19th under an enhanced risk from the Storm Prediction Center, a high-based hailer supercell moved through the Twin Cities. The east metro seemed to take the brunt of the hail, and I was able to capture it.

I had a good case of FOMO not being in southern Minnesota storm chasing the tornado risk, but that busted and the hail storm is pretty cool. I was able to sneak in a mini chase a mile from home, in the backyard and even still coached a soccer game.

This video has it a little bit of everything. Not only the hail storm, but also some dynamic time lapse video of supercells as they road a frontal boundary to the south of the Twin Cities. I also even snuck in some astrophotography as I set up for elusive sprites, that can occur above distant thunderstorms. To learn more about sprites, check out ‪@PaulMSmith‬ and ‪@PecosHank‬ as both have outstanding videos and education about sprites.

    Hail to the Woodbury Storm king Scotland Yard. I’m using this video to try and get a new roof on my house. Now if I can just find a red sprite in the fridge🤪

    good video but I'd try some more ominous music to make it more dramatic, which severe storms certainly are

    We have a Similar problem in Chicago. People do not know what a Garage is. They, too, have hail damage on their car

    If you like thunderstorms, this is your place to live. If I had the means, I would move there from New Jersey. Today is Tuesday May 24, and right now they are saying by thus Friday we may get some heavy storms out here, but I bet that by Friday morning they'll throw in that "Scattered" bullshit.
  • Two thumbs up, a beautiful video and a delightful score. Thank You for sharing.

    I generally find music in nonmusical content at best annoying......so there is no way I would ever admit to enjoying the music in this video. Nope no way no how. 👍
