Supercell - Amazing Scary Phenomenon


Supercell is the name given to a continuously rotating updraft deep within a severe thunderstorm and looks downright scary. They are usually isolated storms, which can last for hours and sometimes can split in two, with one storm going to the left of the wind and one to the right. They can spout huge amounts of hail, rain and wind and are often responsible for tornadoes, though they can also occur without tornadoes. Supercells are often carriers of giant hailstones and although they can occur anywhere in the world,they’re most frequent in the Great Plains of the US.
