An EPIC Nebraska Thunderset (Thunderstorm @ Sunset)!
Nebraska has many different views... Sunsets are one of my favorite things to take the time and watch. This one this evening after the storm had dissipated... simply was surreal!
Glowing prisms of colors coming off of the Nebraska Plains... Need I Say More... If you Luv Sunsets... Your gonna love this one in Nebraska!

A 4 1/2 hour drive from Nebraska to Northwest Missouri. Picked up my big sis and we were off to Storm Chase that afternoon in Southwest Iowa with a Moderate Risk of Severe Weather.
Lots of action that afternoon, but all of the tornadic parts of these storms were to stay south in Arkansas. Didn't stop us at all that day. I was on the hunt, and we were in for some good severe weather treats that afternoon.
Pointing due west... storms were cresting fast from the southwest and almost moving due north, northeast. We had positioned ourselves in front of the first developing cells of that afternoon. We had stopped to get our position and get bearings on the approaching severe warned storm.

August 11, 2019 on Flickr Click Here
On the hunt for Severe Weather after about a month off of chasing. Though, always prepared and ready to go on another storm chasing adventure, once the storm models look favorable I was off to Eastern Colorado!
This cell was in regeneration mode and was about to produce another tornado just to the west of Wray Colorado. We had to catch up and get back in front of the base. Though the base had now expanded and was building. We got back into position as we proceeded north of Wray but the storm was violent and severe enough for us to make us turn around and head east. But before we did we witnessed some incredible outflow.
This shelf cloud was mean and nasty. Just the way I like it! It was really showing her teeth!

Mid May 2026
There have been storms either out of my chasing area or constraint on the timing of them. So by saying this, it was my first chase of the 2026 storm season.
Supercell storm clouds looms over a flat expanse of fields as the sun glows on the horizon. The contrast between the light and dark sky creates a dramatic effect.

Way past midnight now, and this was the 3rd set of storms to come into north central Kansas. This was the same storm that produced the tornado just a few mins ago.
We were under a tornado warning and we thought that this was going to pass fast over us... what it did was produce a nice sized funnel headed directly at our location. We stayed until it passed right over us. I did drop a tornado just about a mile to our east... according to the radar...
We didn't stay for much longer after this. Waited till the hail and headed north.
What a storm to end up the month of May 2021!

Just to the east of Yanney Heritage Park ...
Last Day of Fall 2016, as the Solstice was upon us. The colors of this sunset were Surreal! The clouds that evening were perfect for the sunset to crest its light. All the different shades were present, and I couldn't have asked for a better light and cloud mixture.
I started off the year with a fantastic sunset, I might as well get another incredible sunset in before the years end.

Over a 1000 images just from that evening... I have whittled them just about few hundred...
I personally luv when the atmosphere does this... Rare to have so much lightning firing off every few seconds. Click Click Click.....
Sitting right off the Highway, I had an excellent view of this storm. The one I have been in front of for about the last 6 hours... Still tornado warned but it would be downgraded as soon as that sun set. I was actually disappointed that this was loosing steam. Was counting on the incredible lightning... It (This current storm I was on) wasn't going to last much longer.
Though, over my SVL chat... I had not been viewing radar since it was right in front of me... I received word that there was another strong storm right behind this one.... I was in luck... The rest is HISTORY!

Hwy 2 Bound Northwest...
Boiling afternoon temps... was a relief when the the cloud cover finally covered the sun that afternoon. From about 103 to 85 was a welcomed relief. I would be in the thick of it soon.
This monstrous storm system was creeping in from the northwest. As I got closer, or as it approached... it was from horizon to horizon. Beautiful crepuscular rays from the frontal outskirts of this incredible storm presented a wicked good view.

Severe Warnings popped up for this lone cell by Oconto Nebraska with a nice TVS marker just south of the city. It was my calling to get my gear together and make a small jaunt north on Hwy 2 from Kearney Nebraska. This storm was to be in the Miller Nebraska (northwest of Kearney) area within the hour and I wasn't going to miss this show when its this close to home.
No other chasers on this storm and it was just this lone thunderstorm and me! Beautiful LP structure with clearly visible rotation on this storms' time lapse. Couldn't have asked for a better landscape setup with the pure flatness of northern part of South Central Nebraska.
Storm died out as this storm cell scooted almost directly due east it still had some luster left in her and she was showing off. Beautiful billowing thunderheads to end this chase day!

Obviously... This storm was now over my location. I was still about 4 miles from the core of this storm. 1 inch hail was being reported to my east. 3 inch hail in what was coming at me. Time to leave.
I gathered up the equipment & took these final shots as I head back southeast.

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.

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!

Another Epic Chase day in Nebraska....
Along with fellow chaser Myles Nelson, we had a small jaunt from Kearney out to the western skies of Nebraska. We met up with fellow chaser Aaron Edwards just to the south of the Sutherland Power-plant to set up shot a few hours before all the action began. We were waiting for the first cells to produce by Grant and Hershy Nebraska. They did form and the Grant Supercell was producing but it was traveling close to 60+ knots to the due north. Even if we wanted to catch this cell it was moving way to fast. So after a short broadcast out to Kent Boughton ABC NTV Affiliate. We packed up gear and started to head to the southeast towards Stockville Nebraska.
Tornado had already pushed through the McCook Nebraska area and we were in range to intercept. Though on way there, just on the outside of Stockville, we had to punch through a nasty hail core. We originally though we hit a deer or something else but once we got to the eastern edge of Stockville, we noticed we had a large pheasant buried into my front grill. I didn't know the extent of damage till we got back to Kearney that evening. That being said, we had the rotating supercell coming in from the southwest and were were planning on punching the core again. When fellow chaser Chuck Patient met up with us he had 2 inch diameter hail stones that they had just went through we had decided not to. It was a wise decision, and we eventually headed east.
Now I usually don't do country roads anymore due to the fact... If we get stuck we would be there for a long time and I didn't want to miss out on this event. But we did it anyway.... and just a few miles to the east of Stockville we headed north. It was a good decision due to being on the southeast side of this cell, we were in perfect position to intercept and we did. Far enough away from the RFD we had a perfect view of the Stockville / Farnam Torando from its birth.... Though we had to avoid other chasers, we successfully navigated to a good place for some excellent footage. Probably the best footage I've caught since the 2017 Tornado outbreak in Cheyenne Wyoming.
We got a little close... actually we had to get under and in front of it again. Yes a little dangerous but again I've been doing this a LONG time and I don't take risks that will get us killed. We had finally got back to a point in front of the rotating base just north of Farnam and where heading for the next intercept in Cozad Nebraska.
I-80 Eastbound we had to punch through the core again and we got lucky. Minutes before this cell produced another tornado we got just to the east of Cozad Nebraska to catch the funnel to the east of town. Not wanting to punch the core again... and only about a 1/2 hour of light left. We decided that we had caught what we wanted that day and head back to Kearney.
Though this cell was still raging late into the night. It had produced another tornado by the Oconto Nebraska area. Even if we wanted to chase this there wasn't adequate roadways to travel north and we would have never caught up to it again. To say the least, it was another epic storm chasing day in Nebraska.
Final note on these storms... that NWS had the Stockville/Farnam Tornado rated at a EF-1. That is how I have it listed in the VIDEO. Though reports last night confirmed it was and EF-3 with sufficient damage to property.
In the bulk of storm season out in Tornado Alley... Will be chasing again this week for more Naders!

These are truly My Best Lightning Captures to date!
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 Gut 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.. lol

I had about a 1/2 hour left before I was forced to leave to get to work on time... I had to scoot a tid bit north of Oconto to get these final captures.
Now a full fledged developed shelf.. and it was reforming to become even stronger as it moved due north for the rest of that evening.
Can't complain... a very good day of storm chasing. 2 good storm cells, 3 good opportunities for some of my best captures for 2016. It was a good day!

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.
In order to get those perfect shots...Had to reposition myself a few miles north. This storm cell was building in strength and had picked up some speed.

Now your gonna think I'm absolutely out of my mind... but I drove into that first cell to get to this one... In storm chaser terms is called punching the core... I was more than safe. The cell had been downgraded. Yes I went through some hail and torrential rain.. but that's what I do & I do it safely. When there is a will there is a way.
The storm was dying and I had to get into position for this next incredible cell moving out of northern Buffalo County.
Now I've caught some incredible lightning this year.. so instead of say it was my best.... It was simply JAW DROPPING FREAKING INCREDIBLE AWESOME DELICIOUS lightning.

July came in with a Bang! Sweet storm setup with small tornado potential this day. We knew before we went that this would be an outflow dominate storm. A shelf cloud that stretched all the way from South Dakota into Kansas. 286 Miles long as we intercepted this beast storm about 8:15pm near Beaver City Nebraska for starters.
For some odd reason my Canon T3i overheated this late evening so I wasn't able to get all the pics that wanted from this day. With that being said, I have limited photos from this event.
Though what we did capture was simply Storm Chasing Eye Candy! High instability with a huge mammatus field stretching from horizon to horizon. One of the best photographic shelf clouds of the 2020 season.
Best thing was, we got out in front of it again by Alma Nebraska... Surreal!
With pics from my smartphone and some video help from Myles Nelson I was able to put this vid together! Took a few weeks but the end result is of course ....Epic! Storm Chasing out in the plains of South Central Nebraska to kick off the month of July was simply a hoot!

In September, Nebraska’s sunsets transform into breathtaking spectacles, amplified by the dramatic presence of thunderstorms and supercells. As summer’s heat begins to wane, the Great Plains remain a hotbed for dynamic weather, with warm, moist air clashing against cooler fronts to create vibrant, fiery skies. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the vast Nebraska landscape in hues of orange, pink, and purple, often intensified by towering cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds, illuminated by the fading light, glow with an ethereal quality, their edges tinged with gold as the sun’s rays refract through the atmosphere. The open plains offer an unobstructed view, making the interplay of light and storm clouds a daily masterpiece, where the sinking sun seems to set the sky ablaze against the silhouette of distant fields.
For those in rural areas, watching a September supercell at sunset is an unforgettable experience. The air grows heavy with the scent of rain, and the distant rumble of thunder provides a soundtrack to the visual spectacle. Farmers and storm chasers alike pause to witness the sky’s drama, knowing that these storms can bring both vital rain and potential destruction to the region’s corn and soybean fields. The fleeting moments when the sun’s last rays pierce through breaks in the storm clouds create a sense of timelessness, connecting the observer to the raw, untamed spirit of the Plains. In Nebraska, September sunsets paired with thunderstorms and supercells are not just weather events—they’re a vivid reminder of nature’s ability to inspire wonder and respect in equal measure.

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!

Was quite surprised to see storms develop out in the western part of Nebraska that day. The cold front had pushed into the state by early afternoon and severe storms were forming. Severe weather watches were posted for Dawson and Custer counties. Storms were moving at 10mph and I had plenty of time to catch up to them from Kearney.
Watching the storms they were build and moving north northeast and I didn't want to enter the base of this storm, I just wanted to get along side it to get the best pics in front of the storm. I wasn't disappointed. Even though this cell just went out of the severe warning, the front of this cell was majestic and I wasn't about to leave. Camera in hand I did my thing....
Storm warnings we up again for cells to the west of Dawson county, so I had about a 1/2 hour before I had to head back west to get into position for the next cells.

A field of green grass stretches across the foreground under a dark, cloudy thunderous night sky. Subtle hints of color and light peek through the clouds, suggesting distant shelf cloud on a approaching thunderstorm.

Heading south on Hwy 10, back to KTown, these storms were just developing and moving almost due north, northeast. Paused for a few mins to get the bearings on the current storms postion.
The cells that I want are now just to the southwest and I have myself in position if anything decent photographically appears. Oh and it did!

It's that time of year that we have our daily severe thunderstorms roll though south central Nebraska.
Storms were brewing just to the counties west. Of course I had to work, and only had about an hour to do my thing.
Grabbed my equipment and found a new spot away from the city lights to capture the incredible structure and cloud to cloud lightning display.
Though not many in this set, some good gems to add to my 2016 collection of thunderstorm captures.

We had a few storms that I missed that first week of June, so just to get out and get some captures was my mission on this day.
Some really good development just to the southwest of Kearney caught my eye... I was surprised to see a small pileus cap on this developing cell. It was a precedence on what was to become.

Recovered from that old drive, I honestly thought I would never see these images ever again.
Early June.... conditions this time of year are prime for night storms. Didn't have to chase... just wake up...
It was just plain luck that I got these captures at all that night.
Ever have one of those VERY LONG DAYs... I had crashed out on the couch and about 12:30 am and my son strolled in and woke me up and said... DAD storms a brewin to the west. Sure enough... Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Southern Buffalo County with an incredible cloud to ground lightning display.
We both jumped in the Truck and went out a few blocks west outside of the city lights... We only got only a few shots as the lightning was abnormally severe.. The type that has a huge crack when it strikes. Every bolt that you see had an individual unique sound a few seconds after it has stuck.
Incredible strong positive lightning strikes.

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!!!

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...
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..

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 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!

Right along side as I would eventually get south of the storm. It had more of a easterly movement than south. It was dying but still had some nice photographic view points!!!
Hwy 30 back to Kearney... and a good view of this dying LP thunderstorm. Fantastic Structure as her last moments before she would completely weaken and fade away. There is beauty in a dying thunderstorm... just have to know when and where to be to catch it!

Another monster of a thunderstorm mothership was forming just to the northwest of Elm Creek Nebraska! I had all the gear ready and was in position to intercept as it crossing over I-80 into northern Phelps County, south central Nebraska!
A Beast... Beautiful and Photogenic It was something to see live. We get our few super photogenic storms here in South Central Nebraska and this was one of them in 2014.

It was approaching 12 hours chasing locally that day. Now over 800 captures from that afternoon. I have to admit I was tired...
It didn't make a difference... if it was photographic I was bound to stay out long enough to get a few good shots of the newly developing storms to our southwest. They were firing off a ton of cloud to cloud lighting.
I was only a few blocks from home, so I deiced to stick around to end this storm chasing day in a great way.

I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had missed a few of the other tornados that afternoon in Northern Yuma County. Coming from south to north I had to position myself correctly. Chaser Convergence was also in full swing so there were not may open areas to choose from.
For best pics of a Tornado and to be safe about it a storm such as this was moving North by Northeast... strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... Behind the RFD (Rear Flank Downdraft) It's all about timing, and I honestly didn't think it would produce a tornado til it was well west of my location. That was going to be the wrong guess... Though when I went due north of Wray I had a good viewing point but not in the safest location as you see.
I got lucky this day as...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.
Staying as safe as I could I wouldn't bail till it was about a mile away then I would head north again to a safer / better viewing position.
