At the peak of an impressive hoar frost event this morning, a breeze out of the SW quickly wiped it all out. I was on the backside of a tree line to experience brief "white out" conditions comprised exclusively of frost crystals.

Rough DSLR time lapse with radar grabs of this popular annual event made even more special by a nearby storm to spit out lightning during the show. Audio extracted from video featuring dialogue by my daughter and her three year old niece as well as thunder is authentic. Listen towards the end for the man singing to the simultaneous radio broadcast though you might need headphones. I couldn't have asked for a more perfectly synced sound clip.

DSLR time lapse with audio extracted from previous upload.

August 19, 2011 - This a redo so to include actual audio from the event.

Time lapse of a tornado warned storm to basically go overhead of my location in NW Decatur IL. This cell was tornado warned for most of it's duration with a strong couplet noted on velocity radar scan. The storm pretty much collapsed into a downburst at my location but not before producing a large wall cloud that I lost due to going behind my building. It can be seen at right as well as numerous leading edge circulations including a possible funnel cloud. This was not the Williamsville cell but a secondary one just to it's S. To give perspective, i've included a radar sequence.

Clips, audio and radar sequence featuring a tornado warned storm lifting out of Christian County IL this day. Aside from being unique for the time of year, significant wind damage was reported across the region. More info c/o NWS below.

Montage of a tornado warned storm that produced numerous EF0 tornadoes between Macon and Piatt counties this day. Additional tornadoes were also reported in Vermilion county as well. The entire complex went up along a stalled frontal boundary with the most significant end result being the flash flooding to occur within the I-72 corridor between Springfield and Champaign.

One of countless dust devils observed today to the NW of Forsyth.

Time lapse of the brief display that was observed despite heavy light pollution. Distant coyote audio was extracted from iPhone video shot during the session.

Separate early cluster to go up well out ahead of the main severe warned MCS to pass later this night.

Short montage featuring pics and clips of three separate thunderstorm cells I followed this day. What makes the project unique is that I figured out how to extract audio from each clip, save as an audio file and reintroduce a sample to the time lapse clips thus making them more interesting. Wish I could have been doing this all along. Oh well, we live, we learn. Enjoy!

DSLR time lapse clips of a slow moving storm system to drift across South Central Illinois early this day. I was on the northern fringe so although my area didn't get the heavy rain like points south, we did witness a continuous lightning display in the cloud canopy. Further W in Morgan and Sangamon counties, over 4 inches of rain was reported resulting in widespread flash flooding.

Trained spotter reported brief touchdown occurring further upstream near De Land.

Time lapse clips of a severe thunderstorm having produced one inch hail as it lumbered across Sangamon and Christian counties this day.

Clips of a mini supercell to develop ahead of a severe warned line at Sherman IL followed by new development on the line to the S near Mechanicsburg IL.

Clips and stills of the ongoing outbreak as experienced from this beautiful destination in Shelby County Illinois.

Collection of short clips from this event that are also what I extracted audio from for the previous upload created exclusively with still images. Link back to my channel to view the other project that inspired the resurrection of these.

Also watch and listen for the heron.
