Found this at NPR, but it still brings the point home: Even when she punks you out (this one didn't touch down), you just don't **** with Mother Nature.
Picture and video included. The cell shows up at the 0:51 mark, but it's amazing to see this entire thing form then dissipate.. Amazing stuff. Enjoy.

Sometimes some of the most destructive forces in nature can be stunningly beautiful.
On Sunday, storm chasers caught a supercell thunderstorm taking shape in Wyoming. It is absolutely spectacular — the stuff of science-fiction movies:
The crew behind the time-lapse video — Basehunters, out of Norman, Okla. — also tweeted this photograph:
If you're curious about the weather phenomenon, check out the National Weather Service's explanation. In short, supercells are responsible for "for nearly all of the significant tornadoes produced in the U.S. and for most of the hailstones larger than golf ball size."
