Description
A previously tornadic supercell thunderstorm (i.e. a thunderstorm with a persistent rotating updraft) illuminated by both the setting sun and lightning near Leoti, Kansas on the evening of May 21, 2016. The updraft's well-sculpted striations are indicative of rotation. Supercell thunderstorms with this type of appearance are commonly referred to as "motherships" due to their resemblance to spacecrafts as depicted in movies and on television.
