Mesmerizing storm clouds

Mike Olbinski, 42, captured the stunning scenes while storm chasing with a group of friends northeast of Bismarck, N.D.

The cloud formation, known as undulatus asperatus, are a rare phenomenon and have the honor of being the new cloud type in over 60 years.

Due to the incredible spectrum of colors, it is hard to believe that the magical time lapse is real. Mike says it is his best work to date.
