Ready to fall into a deep, hypnotic state?

If you are, keep scrolling and enjoy these mesmerizing supercell thunderstorm GIFs, courtesy of weather photographer and storm chaser Mike Hollingshead.

Supercell thunderstorms are one of the most striking weather phemonenon and make for stunning photography, but putting them in perpetual motion adds a unique, dynamic element to the set.

As weather.com senior meteorologist Nick Wiltgen explains, Hollingshead took these photos in the Great Plains states, where the lack of trees and low clouds allow for optimal visuals of storm structures.

We're not sure how this is possible, but Hollingshead explains on his website that the GIFs are all made from single photographs manipulated in Photoshop .

"These GIFs show how intimately familiar Mike is with supercell storm structure. I've never seen anyone turn still photos of storms into animated GIFs, and they are very convincingly done even to a meteorologist's eye," Wiltgen says. "To pull this off he had to understand how supercells develop and evolve, how cloud filaments form and are pulled into the rotating heart of the storm, and more -- and he had to have that artist's eye that enabled him to create such realistic-looking animations."

You can find more of Hollingshead's work on his "Extreme Instability" website and see how he creates these sequences in this eight-hour-long tutorial.
