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. Not many pics from this set but it was good pickens for a bust chase day!

Wasn't looking forward to the 3 hour drive back home. What was left of the storm was a HP mess. I sat back for about 30 minutes and let the rain push east. After I got my bearings, I was headed east.

Sun was setting. I was under the perfect light conditions. Back side of the storm, via Hwy 6/34. I couldn't have asked a better photographic opportunity.

Just to the west of Odessa Nebraska...

This cell was really taking good shape. It was tightening with visible rotation. Plus with both storms now centering in on my location, I had to either get packed up and move to another location farther south or stay here just take in the show.

The road network isn't the best for making fast moves south due to the Interstate & Platte River less than 3 miles to my south. Next exit was about 4 miles to my west & that would have put be right under this storm.

The finial decision was easy. I was already set up & was going to stay the course til it forced me to leave.

6th Year in a row we have had a severe thunderstorm pop in south central Nebraska late evening on the 4th of July. Thousands of strikes and the cloud to cloud lightning was simply breathtaking.

This storm crested right south of the I-80 Nebraska corridor, which is just south of Kearney. It was stationary for about an hour and then it pushed a little east before it grew and slowly moved to the southeast into North Central Kansas.

Storm Chasing Video from afternoon on Flickr Click Here

Late August here in Nebraska. I usually would be chasing out in Western Nebraska Eastern Colorado this time of year. Mother Nature made it dry as a desert here. Record Heat & drought in 2022 on the plains of Nebraska. This was the ONLY storm that came into range for the whole month.

Gear was prepped & ready for a month....I was prepared that afternoon. A short jaunt to my east and then north. Irrigated Corn this time of year here is about 14 feet & it will be ready for harvest soon.

Had to find a good location where there was no tall corn. Found a hill with a perfect view. Lucky to find an open view with all that corn!

Though this didn't produce a tornado. Really good definition of a rotation wall cloud under this supercell. Glad I went out that day to capture these phenomenal snaps!

Late evening on hot and humid August evening in Nebraska. Warnings popped up about an hour before this storm was even visible to the eye over the horizon at sunset.

Spectacular Colors emitting from this stacked supercell. Cloud to Cloud Lightning shooting off every few seconds made this a storm chasers dreamscape.

Gear in hand that evening I traveled north out of Odessa Nebraska. Sat about 7 miles to the southwest of Amherst Nebraska. This storm was moving almost due south, southeast, meaning it was coming right at my location.

It would be a Historic Event to capture! Now remastered to the original color with no enhancements. Enjoy!

*** Personal Note ***

January 2020

It has been awhile since I have come back to this set of images.

Original Set of Images can be found here on Flickr

This set of images is and still has been the most stolen set of images I have on the web on several platforms. Literately millions of views with no link back to my work or my photostream. Probably why I haven't revisited this set til now.

Just to let you know, those images were WAY over processed, over saturated etc. Yes I'm guilty. But it was the way I did things back then. I don't anymore.

Every year I go back and edit a few sets of images that deserve to be re-edited or reprocess from raw. I'm also adding several images from this set I didn't share last time around.

Beautiful storm photography from my best of 2014 Collection!

We were to have storm cells develop on this day, and they were predicted not to be severe. They were not... Though when the perfect opportunity for light & shadow comes into view, I couldn't resist.

I grabbed my gear and set out to capture some of the beautiful landscape/cloudscapes from May 2015. The storm cells were developing through south central Nebraska were weak but highly photogenic.

36 Years ago, with a peaked curiosity, I dove feverishly into the world of storm chasing and well, the rest is history. Fast forward a few years and my current journey in storm photography & videography has unlocked a completely new life that I never imagined would exist. Oh how my adventures continue...

Mother Nature definitely orchestrated her magic on this first storm chase of the season. Warm front had positioned itself right over the state of Nebraska. Pulling in all that warm moist air from the south created the perfect conditions for severe thunderstorm development. I was on the hunt & wouldn't be denied this day.

I got to witness 3 very sculptured Supercells this day. The first encounter was north of Franklin Nebraska. Was right along side this beast via Nebraska Hwy 136 & Hwy 10. Storm was cresting to the northeast & I had the perfect view...

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!

It was my last hurrah for 2017.

Hwy 183 Northbound..

It took some time, and I didn't waste any to get back into position.

The winds were ferocious. I couldn't keep a steady shot. I jimmy rigged it and finally got it steady enough in the wind to get these final shots of the year.

It was worth my time and effort this day. Some of my best to end the 2017 Storm Chasing Season.

South Central Nebraska, early May 2012. No chasing this day due to work late. Afternoon Storms were predicted that afternoon & evening. Slow movers they were to be.

Off work & I was in luck. The dryline had stalled right over south central Nebraska that afternoon & the explosion of billowing thunderheads erupted. Billowing picturesque Thunderheads. Some of the most photogenic cells I caught in 2012.

Wicked Photogenic Severe Storms developing just to my east and & another batch of developing severe storms right over my head & moving the northeast. What a afternoon of Light & Severe Storms... Click Click Click!!!!

Not many chase days in the month of June 2017, as this day turned out way better than expected. You never know what you might encounter on a decent moderate risk day which was mostly on the eastern side of Nebraska and Western Iowa.

These first cells were moving from the north to the south as I encountered them just to the east of Schuyler Nebraska. I didn't have to to travel to western Iowa as all the action stayed in eastern Nebraska that day. It was mostly an HP mess for most of the ride till then.

Some decent structure out in front of this cell, so you know I what I was doing!

Approaching late May 2021 and yet to have a successful storm chase to my liking ...

Until Now...

Finally a set up on severe weather, and Mother Nature produced one heck of a show on this afternoon evening. Nice defined shelf with a good rain/hail core.

East of Norton Kansas or better yet Southwest of Almena Kansas we got out first real taste of what I'm always looking for this time of year... Oh and it was special.

Not only did we get what we wanted that afternoon we had one of the best Thunderset (Thunderstorm @ Sunset) that evening that was simply jaw dropping!

Still hot & humid this time of year here in Nebraska. That's the norm so I should quit complaining!

Storms to my North South East and West that day. Nothing close to chase. I was going to go out and get some storm structure and cloudscapes/stormscapes.

Final light of the day. Sun was about to set and the clouds reflecting the ambient sunlight were going to produce some rare colors. It is the reason why I was there!

I didn't have to wait very long for my first storm opportunity. Though this was not a severe storm and it was only one cell.

We had briefings from the weather service about possible non severe thunderstorms for that afternoon. I have been wanting to get out to get some cloud action and I wasn't going to get disappointed.

I know what I'm looking for when it comes to storm cloud structure. This was a good way to start off the year. Close to home and it couldn't have been more photogenic!

Editors Note...

Once a year a pull out a few sets from years past to start of the new year. In 2024 this year I have went back & revamped one of my favorite severe storms photo shoots of 2018

Back then I over colorized & over saturated the images. Pixelated & not my best work... Images were what I wanted but not the final product. If you want to see those to compare to these remastered images... here is your Flickr Link to that set of images...

Click Here

But these are Gems of Gems.. I've even added about 50+ images in this set that I wasn't able to work on back in 2018. I even made a video with the old images to kick off the 2023 season... You can watch this right here on Flickr... Click Here ** Please remember I used the old images in this video **

Lightning is my forte... It is why I chase storms. To have an photo opportunity come up like this & traveled only 6 blocks from my home to get these pics...Gotta Luv Nebraska!

About that evening...

An epic night of sunset light and storm light @ twilight. Its almost every storm chasers dreams... or at least, in my own opinion, to get along side of a storm like this, as its firing away some incredible CC & CG every few seconds. What more could you ask for...

I was that Lucky Guy that evening. Just mother nature and I. Close to home after a few long storm chasing jaunts is just fine by me. She was producing and I was capturing every incredible second of this storm.. No Forking Bolt went away that evening without me getting a snap of its presence..

On the Last Stormchase of the Summer. I had to make this one count. First chase in my new truck. I couldn't have asked for a better Nebraska Stormscape Scenario!

Found and open spot just to the south of Merna Nebraska. Had the perfect view and this thunderstorm was talking!

Loaded all the gear out and started my thing. This truly would become one of my best photographic outings for storms in 2020. Glad I made the effort to go. In spite I just had major surgery 3 days before!

Just a small jaunt to the east, and I was just south of Kearney. This storm cell was gaining speed and size. Now with a wicked good shelf cloud was developing on the outer northeast section of this storm cell.

Again, in perfect position to capture all her glory!

This storm cell eventually developed into a monster with quarter sized hail and 60+mph wind speeds. This was a terrific photographic beast. A dangerous but a fruitful basket of storm chasing eye candy!

Watch the Video from that evenings final pics of Sunset & Mammatus Clouds from August 13, 2019 on Flickr Click Here

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!

Wow... What a day for Storm Chasing Photography & Videography!

Epic Structure and close to home... Gotta LUV Nebraska!

We made it back to Kearney for a few snaps of what remained of the storm. Which resulted in this final double rainbow.

How sweet was this to end the day!

Good storm cells were developing just to my southwest around 3:00am Working... Had all my responsibilities done for the evening... Had my camera equipment in the truck from chasing that afternoon. Grabbed my camera, sandbag, and tripod and headed out to the back of the buildings.

Got a few good shots of the incoming shelf cloud. Wish I wasn't working. There was incredible structure further west that I could see. Can't complain though, I was at work, taking snaps of storms... I was a happy camper!

One of my best Stacks....

Seen on Several National News Services on July 24, 2015

We pulled way north and got back into southern Nebraska. Now on the backside of this thunderstorm. Intense cc lighting was to good to pass up.

We pulled off just north of Alma Nebraska. Pointed the lens due south and captured some of the best lightning of 2015

I had pushed back north to the I-80 Overton Interstate interchange and was moving due east. There wasn't a soul on the road except for 1 maintenance truck that would end up next to me in Elm Creek Nebraska.

Now back in front of this cell as my full attention was directed due south. This tornadic storm was producing some incredible rotation. Window down and concentrating on driving to the east. I was taking a few snaps when I could and being safe about it. There was some incredible south winds that was swaying my truck, or I should say pushing my truck from lane to lane.

Talk about being disappointed. Lightning is by far my favorite thing to capture. If you have watched my video on this day on my Facebook Link, you would find about 30 images that I didn't have focused. Talk about wanting to shoot my self in the foot. It would have been some of my best captures to date.....

I did redeem myself though. The storm was still firing off a ton of cg lightning. Refocused my lens and captured these final shots of day.

Spring is in the Nebraska Air!!!

I didn't have to wait very long for my first storm opportunity. Though this was not a severe storm and it was only one cell.

We had briefings from the weather service about possible non severe thunderstorms for that afternoon. I have been wanting to get out to get some cloud action and I wasn't going to get disappointed.

I know what I'm looking for when it comes to storm cloud structure. This was a good way to start off the year. Close to home and it couldn't have been more photogenic!

It looked good on radar but this was high based thunderstorm. Nothing of any severity except some small hail.

Not many captures from that afternoon, but it sure was picturesque.

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.

Early August storm cells are usually non severe and with little to no precip. Though the dry air creates some of the best photographic scenarios you could ask for if you love clouds... especially storms in Nebraska.

I had the afternoon off and was ready for that afternoons chase. Camera in hand, and storms moving into northern Buffalo County from the northwest...I was ready to catch some incredible storm captures.

August has always been my month to capture some of my best pics. This set of captures was just the first of many to come!

After a phenomenal day of watching the Supercell Thunderheads bubble and boil... I wasn't finished.

Small cells were still forming to my north just off of the city limits of Kearney. This one didn't last long but it sure was capturing my interest. Camera gear ready, I head out once again for a few brief shots. Full moon and some incredible ambient light helped out these shot with exposure.

Finally a good chase day I can brag about....

A moderate risk day in South Central Nebraska, with storm forming on the western side of Dawson County & counties due south and southwest.

The first batch of storms were over and the severe warnings now were all pushing north northeast. I pushed down to Overton & the I-80 Interchange as strong new cells were developing to my southwest.

Now for the best part of the day for myself. I have passion for shelf clouds, more than any other cloud type, yes even more than tornadoes. I punched my ticket and had a great seat for the show!

This supercell meant business with 60 mph outflow winds, hail, and torrential rain... I was prepared!

Early September 2023...

Gear Packed & Primed! Drove west from Kearney out to Lexington Nebraska area. Once the warnings started to fire out in West Central Nebraska. It was time to do my thing. It was to see one of the last supercells of the summer of 2023 & I wasn't gonna miss out. This truly had incredible, beautiful structure. Was tornado warned & had all the right elements for what I do.

No I didn't see a Tor-nader that day. I got a few snaps of what I think was a wall cloud to the cell northwest of my location.

I was there for the structure & I got those incredible snaps... It is what I came for!

We were all ready to do some chasing this afternoon. But of course, as soon as we got close the storm, in southern Custer County Nebraska, she lost her steam...

It was a good day though, many excellent pics in this set! Enjoy~!
