Time Lapse looking west from the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City on May 31, 2013. This is the same storm complex that produced the record breaking 2.6 mile wide tornado near El Reno, OK.
I was in OKC with the Tennessee Lady Volunteer softball team covering the 2013 Women's World College Series as the team photographer. After noticing some neat clouds and realizing that some serious super cells were forming very quickly west of the city, I decided to set up the time lapse in the window hoping to get some cool clouds and/or lightning. An hour or so after setting it up, the sirens went off and we were instructed to seek shelter in the basement. For more than a few hours, we sheltered in the parking garage under the Cox Convention Center.
The time lapse includes over 1610 photos taken over a 5-6 hour period. I used a Nikon D3 and 14-24mm set on a 9 second interval.
Clear rotation of the mesocyclone can be seen at the 0:28 mark. You also see mammatus clouds towards the beginning, and a little light show at the end. I edited out several hundred shots of hard rain to cut down on time.
