Storm chaser's remarkable pictures show terrifying cloud formations

Storm


Breathtaking shots from Colorado, Kansas and Texas are real, believe it or not.


Committed storm chaser Marko Korosec took these incredible pictures of the phenomena known as 'supercells' during a 26-day trip across the United States.

The pictures capture three incredible storms from a distance of 1km away.

The phenomena takes place as dry air from the Rocky Mountains and Canada combines with the warm, moist air of the Gulf of Mexico.


Tornado Alley, where the photos were taken, stretches across the three states and is famed for its storms, known as supercells.


Supercells are characterised by the persistent rotating updraft known as a mesocyclone, giving the cloud its imposing, cyclone-like look.


The result is these potentially severe, rotating thunderstorms that can affect weather up to 20 miles away.
