Tucson, AZ – An amazing time-lapse video of a microburst caught has gone viral.

The description of the video by Bryan Snider states:

A time lapse of a strong thunderstorm that dropped a couple of wet microburst. One in particular was captured really well in the timelapse thanks to the sun peaking out to the west. Notice how the ball of rain falls from the sky and starts separating before hitting the ground. Once it hits the ground you can see the power of microburst as it expands similar to the ripple you would see when you drop a stone in water.
