A US storm chaser captured this stunning time lapse clip of a supercell thunderstorm in Kansas.

"The storm was tornado-warned at the time, and a cone-shaped funnel can be seen dropping halfway to the ground in the video," said Sarah Kassabian who filmed the stunning footage near the town of Sublette on May 21st.

"This was one of the most photogenic storms I’ve ever seen as a chaser, and is a textbook example of a supercell thunderstorm," she added.

A supercell is a thunderstorm which has a deep, rotating updraft.

They are also sometimes referred to as rotating thunderstorms.

Storm chaser Sarah Kassabian’s time lapse of a tornado-warned supercell near Sublette, KS on May 21st, 2020. At one point, you can see a large, cone-shaped funnel coming halfway to the ground. This was the storm of a lifetime from a photography perspective, as it is the perfect example of a textbook supercell thunderstorm. This time lapse shows the mature stage of the supercell, as the mesocyclone rotated over mostly empty fields and farmland as the sun set in the background. Even in the wake of COVID, Mother Nature displays breathtaking beauty that is awe inspiring.
