We had a long drive back to home! Behind the storm that afternoon was a full lit sky of mammatus cloud. We had to wait for the sun to peek out behind the clouds but that is when the real magic happened. The sky at dusk was simply epic!
An experienced... storm chaser knows that after the storm is one of the most photogenic parts of the storm. Some of the best shots I've ever taken have been on the backside of a thunderstorm. I call them Thundersets!
Now...if your not a storm chaser and one is patient enough to wait for the base of the storm to move with the limits of the sunset light. Special things can happen, have your camera ready there is always some magic happening!
This was that experience. There is no place like Nebraska!

Though all of our planning had us hoping for an epic chase day, but mother nature had other plans...
Traveled to western Nebraska to wait for the initiation of severe storms either in the Northeast section of Colorado or where the cape and moisture signatures were predicted for that afternoon and evening. We had our hopes up. The CAP would prevent any development of storms for us that day...
We had to move from eastern Colorado down to Northwest Kansas. Where....Finally thunderstorm initiation started just to the south of St. Francis Kansas.
After it was obviously over... no storms to chase & now the long drive home. There were storms firing out in Western Nebraska and was an incredible view of them on the way back north into Nebraska.
Not many pics from this set but it was good pickens for a bust chase day!

Watch the white nuckle Video of that afternoon on Flickr
An Epic Chase Day was upon us. Though the rest of the Nation was celebrating the Holiday. National Weather Service had us pegged for a moderate risk that afternoon & evening. Due to my injures to my back the past few months. Chasing Storms has been on the back burner... Until Now!!!
First cells of the day were in North Central Kansas. The boundary line was from North Central Kansas up to Norfolk Nebraska & a bit further north. All the action that day was going to be the east of Hastings Nebraska & South. Planned it out correctly for time & distance.
We encountered this incredible updraft structure on the back side of this storm as we were passing though Hastings Nebraska. Were were trying to catch up to it Via Hwy 6 & we eventually we did just to the east to Sutton Nebraska.
This storm was producing 2" hail so we held off a few mins to the the west of Sutton. We had perfect view of the wall cloud due southwest of the hail core. Had a nice tail but never formed.
Proceeded south to get south of revved up supercell. We got along side of it via Hwy 81 south of Geneva Nebraska. Few miles south of Strang Nebraska we got ahead of the rain core & got in sight (paralleled to this storm) of this incredible developing wall cloud under the base of this storm. It did not produce a tornado but the views from this supercell were down right spectacular.
We had to reposition ourselves a few miles south of Bruning Nebraska as this Supercell move south southeast.
The video & images I caught that afternoon were worth the trip. Phenomenal Storm Captures out on the plains of South Central Nebraska on the 4th of July.
Made it home to light of some fireworks & delicious bbq. Nice end to this day with family & friends after this Epic Storm Chasing Day!

Beautiful stormscapes were developing to my northwest. I had already decided to chase the cells to my south, but I paused for a few moments to get my bearings.
I have to be honest. In all my years of chasing storms here in Nebraska, I have never seen so many layers of mist at different developing levels.
The sun was setting and this created an exquisite light show. Camera in hand.... click click click.....!

June 2020 coming to a close. Though mother nature is just ramping up storms out here on the plains of Nebraska.
Another afternoon of severe weather and parts of Central and South Central Nebraska would be under the gun later that evening. Gear ready and packed we were off for another Severe Weather Adventure!
Though the storms we wanted to catch that afternoon decided to form and then weaken then form to our due north northwest again for the afternoon. Too far north for us to chase as they were developing and moving fast northwest.
Caught would we could for that afternoon and waited for the lightning fest that would be to the southeast and east of Kearney. No direct intercept this day... But mother nature was talking...

Had to move just a few miles to the north as this storm was weakening by the minute. Just a few final shots of that day.
Even though we had a lowering base and possible wall cloud this cell would go on not to produce anything that afternoon.

We had to pack up and move south via Hwy 283 South then Head due east of Hwy 89. This route takes us though Beaver City, Orleans, and eventually just north of Alma Nebraska.
Now just north of Alma Nebraska...
We didn't allow us much time to find a suitable spot for us to the base of the storm. A few things to note here.
When we chase, SAFETY is the number 1 thing that I stress to the individuals that chase with me. I have to practice what I preach.
We have to find a safe spot to pull off and get the pics, vids Once we make this choice to pull off when always include a EXIT plan before we stop. (Chasing for all these years, I've learned a very valuable lesson. Never stop unless you have an open an safe exit area when chasing severe weather
We had limited time when we stopped. Storm was approaching fast from the southwest. Where we stopped I wasn't considering how high the corn here in Nebraska in late August. We didn't get a choice to move. It was now or never. So we stopped & set up fast and got with I could with 4k @ ground level.
It was our best structure of severe weather 2021. Defined Meso... Eye Candy Structure.... What more could we ask for!

Received an interesting piece of Fan Mail a few weeks ago. With questions about what do I do when I'm not storm chasing. The author wrote, "Since you live in Nebraska & you only focus on severe weather. Do you ever do any other type of photography & videography?"
As a matter of fact I do. (This is the first time I'm ever posting this type of photography content to Flickr). I'm really in all aspects of nature. But the scenic views is what I come for. Took a few weeks off at the end of September to do a bucket list item (get to the top of Pikes Peak). Also to visit my sister & brother that live here & enjoy some quality family time with them.
Colorado Springs has some epic views. It was also one of the reasons I took our family's early fall vacation to this area of the US. The seasonal foliage was just starting & the aspens were already turning their fall colors. Those Epic Views is what I was after!
Booked our family tickets to the Broadmoor Manitou & Pikes Peak Cog Railway. The Cog has been climbing Pikes Peak since 1891. It was one of the most unique experiences that I've have ever done. This place is recognized as the world's highest cog railroad, The railway is an important part of the heritage of the Western United States.
So to the Individual that had wrote me that Fan Mail. Here is your answer. I know I don't post anything but severe weather, however I wanted to give a small sample what other photography interests that I have & do.
BTW, I & my wife got Altitude Sickness something gnarly. Took a bit to get over after the event but it was worth every second! Plus it snowed the next weekend on top of Pikes Peak.

Another good storm cell was developing to my south. It was just north of Paradise Kansas. Back end of this storm had some beautiful structure, storm chasing eye candy to end the day.

It was a dry May for most of it. So it was a few weeks of no storms in south central Nebraska. Finally we had a moderate risk but it was for Wyoming & Colorado. Then it was to move due east into western Nebraska. Planned ahead headed west for the event. A moderate risk day with PDS warnings on the supercells that we were chasing that afternoon.
We knew where we wanted to chase and had planned it out perfectly. From Kearney to Scottsbluff NE. From Scottsbluff to Torrington Wy, and then Hwy 85 South. We ended up parked right under a 4g cell tower, close to the Hwy 85 & junction 216 with time to spare. Perfect position, perfect light, and we had perfect cell signal to stream this event live.
Now the official report says this is an E-F0 Tornado. It only lasted about 4 4 1/2 minuets. Approximate path length was 2.8 miles, and max width was 80 yards. It was the first of the day to touchdown in Wyoming.

Proud to say that this was my first time that my video stream was on the Weather Channel via StormViewLive (the media broker & was with in 2017) These were the photos that coincided with that day...
(This video is NOT my video but via youtube user "The Weather Nutz" of this same storm but from the opposite view of mine... excellent video youtu.be/7dP6PI1zV5Q)

3nd Chase of 2017...
Most of you know that follow me on Flickr & Social Media... that I love good opportunities to capture lightning. It was one of the reasons why I took up storm photography 20+ years ago. I didn't have many opportunities in 2016 to capture lightning...
This year it started off with a Bang. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. Disappointed of that afternoons chase... I was redeemed by the storms ample cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning strikes. An epic night of storm photography!

We finally had our first bout of severe weather after a horrendous drought season. We welcome the rain but not the severe weather. But an actuality when severe weather approaches that's when I shine....
Day 2 of Severe weather events across Nebraska. My adult daughter by my side. She didn't want to miss out on this years severe weather events as her passion equals mine... She wasn't going to be disappointed this day!
We grabbed the gear and headed deep in Central Nebraska that afternoon. Long story short... We avoided the Chaser Convergence & planned it out perfectly.

Now about 30 miles north on Hwy 21 north of Lexington Nebraska. I seriously really wanted to stop several times to watch this storm develop, it had some incredible structure. But I knew not to. I would be rewarded for my patience....
This storm had significantly developed south of my location and NWS also just reissued severe thunderstorm warnings on these cells
3rd and final storm of my chase that day. Some nice gems in this set of captures! Enjoy!

So the storms redeveloped as we hastened our way back to the Scottsbluff area. Cells developed to our south into western Nebraska via Kimball County, and we were way to far away to catch up.
We had our own storm coming over the ridge from the southwest. By the time we got into city limits the storm was already on top of us. We decided to head east of Scottsbluff towards the city of Minatar Nebraska. At least we would see something.

It's Nebraska ... This our go time for severe weather & she didn't disappoint. This was the beginning of a 3 day severe weather event in South Central Nebraska.
Now my attention was the cell that was coming right at my location. In fact there were 2 cells. I was centered on this one in the beginning due to it had a severe warning on it. Both cells would eventually be severe warned.
Though this had some incredible photogenic storm structure. It had some minor rotation with this. It had my interest.

I had forgotten about this set of images... To be truthful, I also found this micro SD card on the floor of my truck about a week ago. Luckily I didn't vacuum it up after the snowstorm...
Went all the way out to Western Nebraska for this chase day. Excellent setup for severe weather on the Nebraska Colorado Border. Though I didn't plan it out correctly to say the least. My timing was off (when does that happen???) when trying to catch this batch of storm cells. Not to be disappointed EVER. I make the most of what's coming my way. If it's photogenic, you know I'll be taking snaps.
Hence my drive home from a bust chase day. Happy I am to find this card a with a few gems on it. My last imagery of 2022.

This side of the storm was tightening, but it would only last briefly before it became rain wrapped and slide back into the cloud bank.

Its was a dry summer... Though hot and humid, storms were few and far between at the end of July 2016 in South Central Nebraska.
Now don't get me wrong... Nebraska had its fair share of severe weather this time of the year. Though all of it was either west or east of Central Nebraska. Or simply out of my chasing range.
Any storms that came within our vicinity would die and then rebuild east of my location. I work overnights so chasing the night storms this year were not in my or mother natures plans.
So when I had any opportunity to catch that perfect light, like this particular evening , I couldn't have asked for a better scenario of light and storm. I was just happy to get these captures!!!
A magical evening of Light and Storm....

A few hours after sunset the first of the storms were entering our area from the due south southwest. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that this storm was gaining strength as if crept slowly ever so closer.
The amount of cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning was excessive. Excessive & Impressive. The video from this night says it all.
Enjoy these captures from this evening. Some of the best lightning I've caught in YEARS!

Would you like to see this image without the water mark...Click Here
Reminiscing, I haven't spent this many times in this location in years past. Its been the 2016 hot spot for severe storms to cross over from northern Kansas into south central Nebraska in 2016. Again I was there to capture these severe weather moments.
Its mid August and its late season for severe storms. We are in a drought and any rain helps as we get closer to harvest time. This was a beast storm. HP all the way, and I didn't get many captures from this storm but what I did get was something special.
I was just east of Guide Rock Nebraska and I was eastbound on Hwy 136. I had to move to the east as this storm cell was merging with another from the south and it was picking up steam. It was moving slow around 15 mph to the northeast, but it really picked up steam as it approached fast from the southwest.
Not very safe to take snaps while driving, but I couldn't stop due to the intense bands of rains obscuring my line of sight to the southwest. It was coming down so hard I had barley enough time to get back in front of these building cells

A few days off from work and a moderate risk day in South Central Kansas and Northern Oklahoma... Why Not....
Though some serious windshield time, and due to my physical condition I had to make several stops on the way down. With that being said, If I would have planned it out right I would have been able to see the Chester Twin Tornadoes and the Waynoka Tornado. But I was late to that game.
I didn't get many snaps, but I did have a few opportunities. @ the Hwy 281 & Hwy 11 Interchange. NWS has just issued a Tor warning for this cell. It was a fast mover and I wanted to catch the cell just south. Though this popped a funnel real close to my location and I wasn't gonna miss out on this.

Hail Core was on top of me on that first storm to the north of the City... I deiced to bail & go pick up my daughter, as she had called & said I want to go...I scooped her up & proceeded south of the city about 20 miles between Minden & Axtell Nebraska!
The 2nd supcell of the day was coming at us from Dawson County. @ That time that would be direcly to our west northwest. This storm was a fast mover. The first storm of the afternoon was only moving at 14 mph... So we didn't have much time to take snaps.
Though I did take a lot of snaps ...but I made a rookie play & didn't reset this focus from manual. I can be a knucklehead sometimes with I'm in the thick of things....
These were the final images of that afternoon. The ones in focus... We arrived just minutes ahead of its approach. Just in time to get these phenomenal captures right underneath the base of this monster!!!

I was loosing light fast as the sun was just about to set. I had to deiced to either move southeast via Hwy 2 or Hwy 183 due south. It was a guess, since I was simply to close for radar to help.
Hwy 183 has been good to me this year, so I went south. It was a good decision as the storm was now almost on a due south course.

The Long Hot Dawg Days of Summer in Nebraska...Record Heat this year and we all can feel it! Its also been abnormally dry. 2020 was a drought year and 2021 is looking to be the same.
We only had 2 Storms...come though south central Nebraska. But what came through was special and we were on our game to be in the right place at the right time.
When your driving and concentrating on safety.. One does not take a lot of pics...
Hence. Once final pano of the afternoon. Just south of Minden Nebraska. Beautiful defined shelf cloud now on this outflow storm!

Moderate Risk threat that afternoon as the storm began to fire about 5pm CDT in south central Nebraska.
We had planned it out perfectly. Just out in front of these cells before the NWS threw a warning on this supercell. We didn't have much time though as it was producing golf ball sized hail just to the west of our location.
I did a 180 turn to look at the sky from the due east. It sure looks like a small funnel but in reality its just a low hanging scud cloud.

Dark storm clouds gather over an expansive field, contrasting with the vibrant green of the grass below. A road sign on the left side hints at the rural setting as rain & hail begins to fall in the distance.

This set of images is what I live for... Those epic moments when you finally hunted/found what your looking for. It does take a lot of patience to storm chase. The waiting, the planning, the doing. But the rewards at the end are priceless. My antlers on the wall.
Now for some storm chasers... the Holy Grail of Storm chasing is a Tornado. But not for me. It is events like this that give the full definition of Storm Chasing. It really what storm chasing Eye Candy is all about! It is the "Why" or the understanding of why I do this!
One the edge of this Nebraska Supercell I felt the AWE of Mother Nature!
Surreal!
Epic
Awesome!

The sky is filled with an approaching supercell, with the sun peeking through, casting powerful rays of light. A field of grass stretches into the horizon beneath the moody sky.

Final Shot of the Day. Only a few seconds of sunshine as I was heading back to Kearney. This striking sunset casts vibrant red and orange hues across the sky. Dark clouds and distant silhouettes of trees add a dramatic contrast.

I've been waiting... & I've had some opportunities to chase the past few systems that came through eastern Nebraska. But I didn't. Time factors & distance would have put me back home about 4:30am. I'm getting older... my bio-clock wasn't going to let me chase those storms.
Watching all the freak'n incredible pics every year, come across my feed from other chasers across the nation. Just some phenomenal storm photography already in 2023. I finally get to get a few snaps of some weak storms out that evening. At least it is a start.
I have to be patient & wait till late April to mid May to see anything of photographic significance come into play into south central Nebraska & north central Kansas. I'm not the only one noticing that 2023 has been weary of our normal moisture flow this time of year. Its has been rather dry & the drought here continues. Especially Western & South Central Nebraska this year.
I was glad to blow the dust of the old cam & get a few snaps of this evenings storm. Non Severe as it passed through south central Nebraska this evening. It sure was photogenic. Bet the farmers were enjoying what rain we did get out of this system.

Being a Storm Chaser... one of the many things I have are memory cards. I have a ton of them.. and I have them all neatly sorted and organized...
Not this one though... found it in my truck and its been through hell and back... covered in mud snow and gunk. I cleaned it off and hot damn....
I totally had no clue that i even took snaps that day. 12 blocks from my house right about noon'ish this formed right over the city. I didn't chase this but some NICE storm captures from that early afternoon.

Late June 2017 in south central Nebraska. Its been a few weeks since we had any photogenic storms of any type.
These building cumulus clouds were developing just to the east of Kearney. I was just happy to see some development. A few shots to from that afternoon, early evening.

Torrential rain, dime sized hail, were just part of what we received when the storm caught up with in Norton Kansas.
We packed up and headed east via Hwy 36 to junction 383. This would position us again in front of this storm cell. Again tons of cc & cg lightning were still accompanying this growing severe warned cell.

Didn't have that much luck that day... though on my way back into southwest Nebraska. I got alongside another developing cell. It was loosing steam but sure was photogenic.
Nice defined outflow boundary, and she did remain severe for about 40 mins then everything just went HP (High Precip) and nothing to chase. Everything started to develop to my northwest and it was out of range. No way was I going to catch up with those new storm cells.
Nothing bad about a bust storm chasing day. There will always be another... In the end.. It was a good chase day.

Lightning is the main reason why I chase storms. I'm fascinated by the pulses of light it produces. So by placing myself in direct line of a nasty overnight supercell... It is what I call FUN.
This was a spectacle of light & storm. Producing Cloud to Cloud Lightning almost every 3 seconds. It was by far the best night time lightning fest of 2023! So Far....
