This mesmerizing time-lapse footage shows an ominous supercell storm cloud.

Meteorology student Isaac Schluesche captured the images while storm chasing near the town of Earth, Texas.

Isaac, of Madison, Wisconsin, said: “The storm coincided with the sunset perfectly. The colors seen in the time-lapse are just like what we saw with our eyes.

“Usually every spring I head out to the central United States to storm chase for a week or two.

"As such, my group and I were in the Texas panhandle, hoping to see something just like that one day.

“This video was filmed using a Canon 6D and EF 24-70 2.8L lens. It’s exactly something I’d been hoping to capture!”

A supercell, sometimes referred to as a ‘rotating thunderstorm,' is characterized by a heavy, constantly-rotating current of rising air.

Although the least common type of thunderstorm, they can often be the most severe.

Their large scale and isolation from other thunderstorms make supercells a sublime and sinister sight.
