What's insane is how fast this video is sped up

Pretty sure that it is a normal time lapse. Cloudbursts like this don’t take very long at all; only a few minutes to half an hour with an obscene amount of rain.

Watch the branches in the foreground in the last seconds of the video. Definitely sped up.

time–lapse
/ˈtaɪmˌlæps/
adjective
— used to describe a way of filming something in which many photographs are taken over a long period of time and are shown quickly in a series so that a slow action (such as the opening of a flower bud) appears to happen quickly
I was saying that it isn’t sped up exceptionally more than any other time-lapse…

Normal time lapse = not real time footage that is faster than real time footage = footage is sped up via compilation of still photos

I guess what I’m getting at is that the actual real time passed in the video is likely around 15-20 minutes. The only reason I brought it up is because it would be reasonable to assume from looking at the video that this storm occurred over an hour or more and is nothing really exceptional. When in reality a storm like this can dump a massive, possibly destructive volume of liquid practically all at once, like how Uncle Matt destroyed Aunt Kathy’s toilet that one time after spicy habanero nachos and that triple refried bean chili dip.

Thanks. I stopped reading your argument right there. You agree the video of < 10 seconds is sped up to show a recording of 15 - 20 mins. Idgaf about the rest we probably agree however you're wadting my time. Have a nice life, random re#itor.

You missed a funny metaphor I wrote just for you.
But cheers. Sorry if I came off confrontational.
May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house. Hope you have a better memorably positive week.

Ocean squalls can be terrifying. That's a good soaker on land, though.

Chaotic yet so sedating to watch. Amazing just how much water is in those clouds!
