Tucson Wall Cloud Movie
This very short MPEG movie shows a lowering of the cloud base of a severe thunderstorm over the far western portion of the city of Tucson, Arizona. This movie was created from a series of digital still pictures where I was trying to capture the clouds and lightning, so the movie is fairly choppy. It may show a simple lowering of the cloud base, a wall cloud, or a funnel cloud. It was associated with a "swirl" in the winds of the storm as it passed over south Tucson and then into the Tucson mountains. Taken about 1:00 am on the morning of August 8, 2005. There are 12 frames to the movie and each frame represents roughly 20 seconds of elapsed time or about 4 minutes from start to finish.

To view this movie, you need to have an MPEG1-capable player like Windows Media Player or Quicktime installed. If you're having problems, double-check that you have the very latest version installed. We do not recommend Real Player, as it seems to be prone to error. If you'd like to save this movie, right-click this link and choose save as. Then you can play it at larger sizes, etc.
