Dark, swirling storm clouds loom over a green field and a narrow road, creating a dramatic contrast. The turbulent sky suggests the potential for severe weather as it stretches across the landscape.

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.

Primetime....
For the best possible chances of a night tornado or maybe 2.
Seriously, this is not for the faint of heart. Night chasing severe weather scenarios are dangerous enough as they are. Put the element of 100+ winds, horizontal rain, and that ever so risk of having a tornado next to you and you don't know it... and all that other stuff you have to be aware of.
Keep in mind I'm all about safety when it comes to night chasing but there is always that risk you take when you do. You can predict what is going to happen... but its not the same when your in the thick of it. This night chase was extremely dangerous since we were by 3 tornadoes in less than 2 hours time. Though we survived and came out crystal clean. That is to be expected when I chase every time.
Though my camera's were all pointing due south and west on the storms that were approaching. I managed to get a few snaps due east of us. A nuclear explosion of energy. Constant Cloud to Cloud lightning. Sky had cleared enough before the next storm to get these incredible shots...

Its truly what I wait for every season...
Non Severe late August Nebraska Thunderstorms!
Conditions were just right, almost perfect for capturing some incredible CG Nebraska Lightning. These very slow moving storm cells building just to west northwest of Kearney provided this opportunity that early morning.

Evening storm cells were in full force. We had some warnings for Furnas and Frontier counties as the storms were building. I was approaching from the north via Hwy 283. Once in position, I had to wait a bit before the action began.
Though having patience is part of the game. I was right on the money for this set of storms cells brewing to my west.

Soundbound on Hwy 69. Just on the outer edge of this southward moving storm. The sun was peaking through, and there wasn't a soul in either direction. Pulled over to capture a few examples of Nebraska's Majestic Nature!

Early April ... 2024
Dark, ominous clouds hang low over a flat Nebraska landscape. A 5% Tornado Risk that afternoon. An impending severe thunderstorm coming off the horizon.
Positioned just to the southwest of Holdrege Nebraska & right in the path of its fire.
A Nebraska farmstead is visible near the horizon, dwarfed by the vastness of the sky and the intensity of this weather event.

September was still hot & humid within the wide open plains of Nebraska. The drought this time of year is normal. The heat is not. Was lucky to get this lone storm that afternoon.
The winding down of the storm season is right on time. We did have a few night storms with some good lighting. But my time is limited this time of year. Was only able to get this event.
A photogenic storm was what I need & what was received that afternoon. It was the last storm that I chased for 2022.

Our first non severe thunderstorms of the 2016 season.
I've been itching to get out to capture some Nebraska stormscapes. I was totally satisfied with that afternoons storm front that passed through about 6:30pm.
Not bad for my first batch of storm captures 2016!

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.

The month of July in Nebraska is mostly just outflow storms from about mid June on. Meaning extremely strong outflow winds in front of this storm. Destructive that evening with winds over 60+ mph.
Once the storm base moved closer I was able to get some incredible cloud to ground strikes that would make for some of the best lighting captures of 2018. Like clock work I expected a late night storm with some phenomenal definition.
Beautiful crystal blue lightning illuminated the night as the arcus (shelf cloud) approached from the due west. Severe warnings were in place & right in my direction. Got to my location, set up the gear and went to town... Nothing but Crystal Blue Thunderstorm Eye Candy!!!

This storm was picking up speed, and I had to stay in front of the development. Picked up the gear and headed north to I-80 then West to the I-80 Darr Nebraska Exit.
Stopped for just a few minutes to get my bearings on this storm. She was in reorganizing and rebuilding as it was almost moving due north now.
Some nice new structure was developing, and I was in the perfect place to watch it develop... oh yeah, and to take a few snaps....

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!

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!

Just to the west of Odessa Nebraska...
First few shots of the day as this already severe warned storm was approaching from the northwest of my current location. Got in alignment of where I thought I had the best possible chance for pics & video. An open view with no power lines. Which is rare. Even in Nebraska.
There were actually 2 storm cells. Both were severe warned. I was on the outer boundaries of the western storm. The eastern storm was going to eventually merge with this storm & become one.
The lean or tilt in this storm meant business. Nothing to take away its energy for doing its building process. Rotation was imminent, though question was would this storm produce a tornado?

After the tornadoes in south central Nebraska that afternoon. Storms were still percolating and still severe enough to produce what I'm looking for... That wouldn't happen again that day... Oh the structure on those severe storms were truly photogenic. Some of the best Nebraska outflow boundaries of 2018 were in my viewfinder that day.
Though sick as a dog, I proceeded east and stayed ahead of these cells in case they produced again. These storm cells wouldn't give me any more Naders that afternoon, but it sure was fun to follow these remaining storm cells.

I was late to the game on this one after the mesoscale discussion had everything to my east and models had cells developing into northern Kansas. I took the risk and missed out on the eastern Nebraska severe weather that afternoon.
Though I was late I wasn't out of the game as I approached from the south back into Nebraska and got into position for the severe warned cells that had just produced a tornado 25 mins before my arrival to my north. Excellent structure as the cells moved to the due south... I was in for a supercell photographic treat!

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!

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

You've gotta take the good days with the bad. Not all storm chases are going to be the one for the record books... hence this day.
Nice moderate risk day right on the Nebraska Kansas Border. We were in position again for a good chase but the storms formed just to our north and we stayed put due to guess on where the Cap was going to break that day.
All of the action was in southeast Nebraska right over the border. Though about 50 miles to our east. There was no way were going to catch up with them and all we had left was some pulse storm.
Not what I call and good day of chasing... but this happens and you can't get depressed. Its May....There will be more storms!

Just to the east of North Platte Nebraska. Maxwell Nebraska...
A landspout touches down over a rural landscape under a dramatic sky, where the swirling column of wind is starkly visible against intense cloud formations. The foreground features a few trees and farmland, emphasizing the stark contrast between human activity and natural phenomena.
We were not set up & riding parallel with this storm.. so only a few shots eh...
For folks that don't know the difference between a tornado & a landspout... Please Read Below!
*****
What is the Difference between a Landspout & a Tornado?
A landspout and a tornado are both rotating columns of air that can cause damage, but they differ in their formation, structure, and characteristics:
Formation:
Landspout: A landspout is a type of non-supercell tornado that forms from a growing thunderstorm or cumulus cloud without a mesocyclone (a rotating updraft within a supercell). It typically develops from the ground upward when converging surface winds create a vortex that is stretched by an updraft in a developing storm.
Tornado: A tornado usually forms from a supercell thunderstorm with a mesocyclone. It descends from the cloud base downward as the mesocyclone tightens and intensifies due to strong atmospheric dynamics, such as wind shear.
Structure and Appearance:
Landspout: Landspouts are often narrower, more rope-like, and less organized than tornadoes. They typically appear as a slender, tube-like vortex extending from the cloud base to the ground, sometimes resembling a waterspout over land.
Tornado: Tornadoes are generally wider, more robust, and can take various shapes (e.g., wedge, cone, or rope). They are often associated with a visible funnel cloud and a debris cloud at the surface due to stronger winds.
Intensity and Duration:
Landspout: Landspouts are usually weaker (EF0–EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita scale) and shorter-lived, lasting a few minutes. They cause localized, less severe damage compared to tornadoes.
Tornado: Tornadoes can range from weak (EF0–EF1) to extremely violent (EF4–EF5), with some lasting over an hour. They can cause widespread, catastrophic damage due to higher wind speeds.
Associated Weather:
Landspout: Occurs in less severe weather, often under developing thunderstorms or cumulus clouds with minimal wind shear. They are not typically associated with large-scale storm systems.
Tornado: Often occurs in severe thunderstorms, especially supercells, with strong wind shear and dynamic atmospheric conditions conducive to powerful, long-lived storms.
Detection:
Landspout: Landspouts are harder to detect on radar because they lack a mesocyclone and may not produce a distinct radar signature.
Tornado: Tornadoes from supercells often show a mesocyclone signature on Doppler radar, aiding in their detection and warning issuance.
In summary, while both are rotating columns of air that contact the ground, landspouts are weaker, shorter-lived, and form without a mesocyclone under less severe conditions, whereas tornadoes are typically stronger, longer-lasting, and associated with supercell thunderstorms and mesocyclones.

Final Shots of this Series... as one can see. Funnel was developing right in from of me. Also 1" hail was already hitting my location as with the 60+mph outflow winds.
I toughed it out as I was pulling all my other gear.. I managed to take a few final shots before I was forced to pack up shop.

I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best severe weather photography to date...
I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.
Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.
In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.

This storm was picking up speed, and I had to stay in front of the development. Picked up the gear and headed north to I-80 then West to the I-80 Darr Nebraska Exit.
Stopped for just a few minutes to get my bearings on this storm. She was in reorganizing and rebuilding as it was almost moving due north now.
Some nice new structure was developing, and I was in the perfect place to watch it develop... oh yeah, and to take a few snaps....

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.

What was an Epic day of Storm and Sky on the Eastern Plains of Colorado.
We had a late start to get to our destination of Goodland Kansas that afternoon. Though with that said we did see one Landspout / Tornado just to the south of Burlington Colorado. Of couse we would have luv'd to see some of the naders about 100 miles to our west but we didn't plan this one out correctly to do so.
Bumped into Legendary storm chaster Danial Shaw from Down Under... as he pulled up next to us shortly after we got there. I pretty sure he caught what we could see south of Burlington up close and personal.
Storm went outflow dominate as it squeezed its way into northwest Kansas. We ended this days chase between St. Francis and Bird City Kansas.

2017 Storm Season in south central Nebraska really hasn't been. Until this storm.
I wasn't feeling that good that afternoon. Had a touch of the crud, and energy level was way down. I honestly had no plans to chase storms that afternoon.
The storms that afternoon were moving the from east to the west. (This is RARE in Nebraska) As these storms had been brewing and raging most of the afternoon in north central Nebraska. Most of these had died and parts had reformed or backbuilded throughout late afternoon. Seen that a few of my other chaser friends from StormViewLive.com were out and streaming and these developing cells. I simply couldn't miss this....The rest is history....
Just off of I-80 west on to Thirty Mile Canal (Road 755) west to Junction 21 south to Ustis Nebraska. I pulled off a for a few moments to get my bearings on this storm. Perfect photo opp as this storm had warnings pop up mins before this capture.
I didn't have much time. I had to get ahead, or at along side of it. Just a few snaps before I headed south.
It simply was the best structured photographic beauty that I wait for each year. It is, in my own personal opinion, this set of images are my Best Captures of 2017.

August 11, 2016 - Hwy 136 East of Guide Rock Nebraska, US
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 dramatic storm cloud looms over a rural landscape, creating a striking contrast between the dark sky and the bright green fields. A dirt road stretches into the distance, adding a sense of depth and solitude to the scene.

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.

Storm Chasing Video from night on Flickr Click Here
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!

Hot, Humid, just the way I like it. Developing pulse storms to our northwest that late evening. Its what brought me out and about.
Again these Nebraska Skies were talking. What I thought would be a normal beautiful billowing cloud Nebraska sunset, turned out to be a majestic night of light, mammatus, and shadow.
True Nebraska Stormscape Eye Candy! Enjoy!!!

Check out this Incredible Nebraska Shelf Cloud. Heading south via Hwy 15. Even after some horrible road construction, and a detour from HELL, my timing was on the spot.
Now in front of this severe warned thunderstorm. Via Hwy 92 West... I had camera in hand and video to stream this event live that afternoon. This supercell was a Photographic Beast!

A dramatic sky showcases dark, ominous storm clouds looming over an open landscape with a crossroad and multiple traffic signs in the foreground. Sunlight barely peeks through the horizon, casting an eerie glow.

4 Image Stack within 47 Seconds....
I've been working feverishly on this new set of images, but the last image is going to be first in this new set. 1 Because its Halloween (Oct 31, 2017), and Its Truly an awesome image.
Seen on National News Click Here, and Its also the StormViewLive's FB page www.facebook.com/stormviewlive/ Image of the Month of Sept & October. What an honor! I've had a ton of request for this image and so here it is at last...
It was honestly a mistake. I was messing around with a Filter I created (by accident) and the first time I ran this through, this was the effect I got. I personally luv this image... I hope you do also.
Happy Halloween Everyone!
Be Safe!

Watch the Video of that afternoon on Flickr
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!!!

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. Now about 2 miles to the east of Amherst Nebraska. This storm was strengthening and 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!

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)
