A video shows a giant supercell moving over a rural road.
A video purportedly showing a â€œliveâ€ view of a huge, rare supercell storm moving across a rural road was viewed millions of times after it was posted on 20 July 2017 to the Facebook page â€œNewsfeedâ€: This footage did not show a â€œliveâ€ video of a storm; the biggest giveaway is that the storm did not move from its original location at any time during the four-hour-long stream. The main reason for the stormâ€™s static appearance, of course, is that this footage is actually based on a photograph â€” taken by storm chaser and photographer Marko Korosec â€” of a supercell near Murdo, South Dakota on 19 June 2015. Korosec explained in a Facebook post that this â€œtornadic supercellâ€ was one of the best heâ€™d ever seen: < The photogenic part of severe storms. This amazing tornadic supercell was the best Iâ€™ve seen so far at nighttime, nicely illuminated with intracloud lightning, layered and striated with rough wind power! June 19th, 2015 near Murdo, South Dakota. > Korosec has several other pictures of this storm on his web site and social media pages: < Living my dream to chase the most spectacular storms on the planet. South Dakota, United States on June 19th, 2015. > This static photograph was later animated by Jonathan Wennstrom, who posted a cinemagraph of this storm to his Instagram page on 2 July 2017. Â Â
