Welcome to The Weather Scene segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, The Weather Scene will feature weather related content. Editor / publisher Nathan Young loves weather related content. And this segment will feature something about the weather every week.

This LP Supercell near Arcadia, Nebraska May 26 2013, has remained one of the most impressive structures I’ve seen while storm chasing. The height and rotation alone was incredible to watch aside from the lightning.

Using the “echo top” product in radar, you can have an estimate of the height. I haven’t been able to find the height of this one. But on average they may grow around 15km height (50,000 feet), with the heighest recorded at 20.7km (68.000 feet) May 24, 2016 in Mexico.
