Rain Bomb: Rare 'Wet Microburst’ Caught on Camera in Stunning Timelapse

A STORM chaser captures a huge burst of wind and rain which explodes in the sky and crashes to the ground. Shot on August 8, this dramatic timelapse was shot by photographer Bryan Snider, 29, in Tucson, Arizona. The incredibly detailed footage shows a weather event known as a wet microburst which occurs when a cooled column of air sinks rapidly through the middle of a thunder storm. The unique storm phenomena affects an area of no more than two and a half miles and can generate winds of over 150 mph. New Mexico-born Bryan lives and works in Phoenix, Arizona, as a full time videographer.
