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..

A massive, swirling supercell storm cloud dominates the sky over a flat, rural landscape, casting an ominous shadow over a dirt road and fields. The dramatic contrast between the dark cloud and the surrounding lighter sky accentuates the power of the impending storm.

Unpacked and gear out close to home as a non severe thunderstorm approached from the due south of Kearney Nebraska. Just on the outskirts of the city just to the east of Kearney High school .
A few pics that didn't make it to my Flickr Photostream in 2020. So I'm adding them now.
I do so much sky photography and at that time of year when I take these, they sometimes get lost within the fold. So at the end of each year I find a few that are worthy of being posted!

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.

After that last storm fizzled out. I had a short drive back to K-Town and what looked like a roll cloud from a distance turned out to be a shelf cloud without it being attached to another cloud base.
Technically this should have appeared to be rotating on a horizontal access but its definition would be a shelf cloud. Due to its formation. This time of years almost anything is possible cloud-wise in Nebraska.
I pulled off for a few minutes til this passed over. It would eventually become a severe thunderstorm as it went through Adams County and eastward. Storms were traveling fast at 45mph so I wasn't going to try and stay ahead of it and chase this cell.

A nice setup for severe weather on the plains that afternoon. Moderate Risk day in Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado, Western Kansas....
It took about 4 hours to get to the starting point, but all is worth the time I take to plan and get out to get some good severe weather action.
I had a choice that afternoon to follow this first cell or to wait for the next one... Without all the technical terms and jargon....I had the perfect setup for possible tornadoes that afternoon, but this storm that I choose (the 2nd cell and not this one) wasn't going to produce any till way after I quit chasing it down on the Kansas Oklahoma border. Its the chance that I take when it approaches. You NEVER know what its going to do.
I've been rather lucky chasing in this area over the past 20+ Years... Caught my fair share of Naders. This day didn't produce what I was looking for But Mother nature was talking I was Listening.
This sky was EPIC....

It was another exciting local chase day in South Central Nebraska. A real treat! I didn't have to travel far from home to catch the severe weather that afternoon.
By mid afternoon, mother nature was on the prowl. Dry line had formed just about 30 miles to my west and storms were firing. Towers building and we had sufficient shear that day. We had all the right ingredients for severe weather to do her thing.
Incredible photogenic inflow bands with possible wall cloud forming just to the west of my location. I couldn't have picked a better position. In a safe spot, I camped out here for a few minutes as the storm cell was pushing right over my location! This cell didn't produce a funnel and quickly diminished shortly after these captures.
Listening to the incoming weather reports. There was a tornado warning with the storm cell just forming to the southwest of Elm Creek Nebraska. Its about 20 miles to the southwest, and I had to pack up and get going if was going to try get snaps of this storm cell as it produced some of my best captures from June of 2008

I didn't get many snaps, but I did have a few opportunities.
I had moved south to intercept the cell that still had a tor warning on it. Though it had lost size and strength it was still producing a decent wall cloud.

Late August and I wasn't chasing this day... In fact I was preparing to head out to the east coast to catch up with Hurricane Dorian.
Just few blocks from my home here in Kearney Nebraska with no warnings issued this was creaping in from the west northwest. This thunderstorm didn't become severe until it passed over the city of Kearney. But as it approached... the sky was talking and I was listening...
I couldn't resist! With camera in hand I was out to capture a few hundred pics of what was in front of me. A wicked good photographic Nebraska stormscapes and some epic Nebraska Thunderheads!

East of Elm Creek Nebraska...
Couldn't have timed it out more perfectly as this still had some good definition to it. This cell was about overtake my position so I took as many snaps as I could.
Funny thing was... I had several people stop by & say Hi... About 7 people and 10 cars all stopped to watch the show with me... The sky was talking....
Final Shots of the afternoon as the storm to my east gathered some rotation & was passing just to the west of the city of Kearney. From my POV you could see a nice wall cloud form as storm moved almost due southeast.
2" Hail core was coming in quick. Had a few last shots before it decided to unleash its power.

Found the perfect spot just north of Norton Kansas. Got the gear ready as a severe thunderstorm warning was just issued.
I had positioned myself perfectly as everything that was severe was heading right into my direction to the southeast.
The outflow boundary had increased in size and strength. Definitely visible... It was go time and I was taking snaps like a madman!

The 2016 storm season is upon us here in the plains of South Central Nebraska. Thought I better get the cobwebs out of the lens and take a few different perspectives.
Nice set of thunderheads off to our southeast. Nice Towers forming over northern Kansas and moving into southeast Nebraska. No chasing this day. Had to work, but this was good for an after work viewing of the storms.

July 29, 2012 - Kearney Nebraska US
2012 was a dry summer and the storm season was few & far between. Last recorded rainfall for us was back in early June. Working constantly I had that Sunday evening off and was able to get out to get a few snaps of this oncoming storm.
Finally received some much needed moisture. Strong thunderstorms had formed out in western Nebraska & were dying as they were entering southwest Buffalo county here in South Central Nebraska.
No warnings on this storm but she was producing some exceptional views of the core. Incredible cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning strikes pummeled the earth . This storm cell was proceeding to the northeast from the southwest. It crested right on the northern outskirts of the city. Couldn't have asked for better light & storm. Many photographic gems in this set!

June was a tough month... Not only did I have my transmission go out on the truck. Their would be NO storm chasing for about 3 weeks. Of course its June and we did have few good storms pass though and I was disappointed that we couldn't go get em all.
Back in the saddle for this last June storm. Nice for almost end of season development. Under the base this storm no tornado was going to form due to it being undercut. Nice rotation in this cell though, and it was what we came for.

This cell was a slow mover... only about 10mph almost due south. Severe warned and producing some real eye candy. Back building, it was a sight to see live.
Though sunset was upon me and I was loosing light fast. Perfect timing for this set of captures!!!

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.

Over a lush green landscape, a dramatic storm cloud releases a heavy downpour visible in the distance, contrasting against the brighter sky around. The cloud formation is dense and dark at the center, suggesting an intense weather event, while the foreground reveals a serene field under a partially clear sky.

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.

I had moved just a few miles to the west of Hwy 183. Just south of the I-80 Elm Creek Interchange. In case this cell did develop a tornado, I wanted quick access to the north.
In the perfect location for this developing cell. Forming wall cloud on the southwest part of this storm. True storm chasing eye candy!

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!

I hand a phenomenal day of storm chasing in Nebraska on this day. A western Nebraska severe weather event, with moderate risk of tornadoes..
A few miles north of Sidney, on Highway 385, I finally got into a safe position to get some nice captures. Pointing my camera to the due west, another wall cloud was trying for form.

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.
The 2nd storm cell off to the west about 10 miles was really producing some good rotation. Radar confirmed & Visually. I packed the gear and head close to Odessa Nebraska.

Dark storm scud clouds loom ominously over a flat landscape, with a strip of orange light near the horizon hinting at the setting sun. The contrast between the foreboding sky and the glowing horizon creates a dramatic atmosphere.

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.

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

Now back in South Central Nebraska... We were about to experience the strongest outflow boundary of the year. 110-120 mph winds were accompanied by this super strong beast. Tons of cloud to cloud lightning and beautiful arcus shelf cloud structure was beautiful view as she approached from the southwest.
Now moving almost directly due east we had to jimmy south to Alma Nebraska from Hwy 89 to get back in front of this monster. Believe it or not, the calm before the storm was evident here. No wind until the shelf came over our heads and then we got hit hard. Luckily we had gear already prepped and put away as headed north as soon as this hit our location.
Though you know me... I waited till the very last second to get these captures!

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!

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!

It had been a dry May in south central Nebraska. Moisture if any did come but it was late evening and it was usually along the Nebraska Kansas border this year. Sometimes out of my range depending on the hours they developed.
@ this moment...It was another 60+ miles south and I still had time to catch up to this developing supercell.
The view to my west was captivating. I had to stop and get this. New Polarized lens, which I have NEVER used before was locked and loaded. New tripod to boot. A sunset with the perfect ambit light... Developing storm just to my southwest...
Might as well take advantage of the skyscape while she was talking to me...

Our Storm Season is coming to an end. We have a very limited opportunity between the Sept 1 til the end of October we have a chance for severe weather.
We had that chance... We need the rain... Mother Nature put on a rather good lightning show that evening. However no matter what direction I tried to put the camera at I was getting pelted with rain. Small series of shots here. Only took a few snaps, got a little wet, but it was worth it.

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!

Following the cell north, I would eventually call it a day when the storm picked up steam and there was no way I was going to catch back up to it. But it was a day to remember!

A car drives down a rural road under a massive, dark storm cloud, which looms ominously overhead. The ominous atmosphere is highlighted by the contrast between the dark clouds and the bright landscape.

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!
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.

Mother nature gave South Central Nebraska a few days break from the constant rain. I shouldn't complain. We are close to the end of our rainy season. Though... this is Nebraska where we can have severe weather breakout anytime...as this storm cell did.
Late night, early morning cells were moving along a boundary. We only had a 30% chance of storms. Storms there were out in the Nebraska Panhandle died and the reformed about 1:00 am just to the west and northwest of Buffalo County in South Central Nebraska.
This was a photographic beast as I just a few miles to the east of Kearney. I wanted to use the city lights to illuminate the storm as it pushed to the southeast. It simply has got to be my favorite night chase of the year. Close to home and incredible structure!

This Day's pressure cooker was in session. Lot's of gulf moisture to play with. With that in mind, Mother Nature had some plans for us that afternoon. Of Course, I was prepared. Knew this situation was going to give us some excellent severe weather views that afternoon. I was on the Hunt!
Alerts & Alarms were firing right after 2:00pm as I headed west from Kearney. Severe Thunderstorm warnings had been issued to my southwest by Arapahoe & Holdrege Nebraska. Coming directly from Furnas & Phelps Counties this storm was packing a heavy punch for October.
Pulled up & onto 1 of the bluffs just north of Elm Creek Nebraska. Nice view over the Platte Valley as this nasty bugger came to play! Would eventually catch 2 tornadoes this day... Which is rare. Glad I had the time to capture this event! It was a Hoot!

Heading south from Trenton Nebraska down to Atwood Kansas via Hwy 25....
Was simply a white knuckle drive. Nothing but straight line winds and big hail. Couldn't see anything in front of us. 10 feet was the maximum visibility. Hydroplaning due to the amount of water on the road we had to slow way down to stay safe. It was the last of the day for core punching. It takes some nerves of steel to do what I did that day.
Though I remained calm during this part of the trip the rewards for the final jaunt to get back in front of these emerging storm cells was worth the trip.
Localized flooding and several trees down in Atwood Kansas. The main part of this cell was due east about 10 miles. We didn't take long to get to our destination on beautiful plains of Kansas. One more chance for some incredible structure before we called it a day of storm chasing...
