Stunning storm clouds

Photographer, storm chaser and TED fellow Camille Seaman has spent five years capturing incredible images of some of the most dramatic weather patterns in the United States. For her "Big Cloud" project, Seaman travels twice a year to the Great Plains states to photograph supercells, a type of rotating thunderstorm.
