It wasn't good from this point forward. Not for capturing what I wanted.
I did get some good video but on my main camera, I had left my manual settings on my camera and a good next 100 shots were all blurry.
I was stressed. Had to back track under the base of this cell. It's where I didn't want to be.
Due to the overturned semi on the Elm Creek I-80 interchange, I had no choice to punch through the core on some backroads. Then try to head north through/past Odessa Nebraska and try to get back in front of this storm via Hwy 2
I got there but it wasn't easy with the strong winds, hail, and horizontal winds...but that's what I do!

November 27, 2016 - South of I-80 Minden Interchange, US

Rare for Nebraska in November that is....
There was some risk of severe weather that afternoon. In fact.... way out of season severe weather. There was just enough instability by afternoon to allow the thunderstorms to develop, strengthen, and even spin up a few tornadoes in the 4-5 p.m. CST time frame.
I had a 5 hour drive back from Missouri and was exhausted. Plus I had to work in a few hours so chasing this storm was just not possible that afternoon. But I did venture out to capture a few snaps of that afternoons events.
Pictured here were the cells effecting the Red Cloud to Clay Center Nebraska areas. I was just to the south of the I-80 Minden Interchange. Found a cozy spot without any powerlines and pointed my camera to the east southeast.
Some amazing captures to finalize my severe weather photography for 2016

Part of a severe weather system moving northeast out of North Central Kansas. These late afternoon Supercells developed under the perfect conditions. They were in photographic range just to the Southeast of Buffalo County. Sculptured cumulus thunderheads were way to good to pass up that afternoon.
Torrential heavy downpours, hail up to 1/2 dollar size and 3 confirmed tornadoes in Adams & Hall counties just to the east of Kearney Nebraska.

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!

Mid October... 2023
Final Chase Day at hand for 2023....
Warm and with SPC Active warnings that afternoon of severe weather. Stayed in the South Central Nebraska Hwy 6 Neighborhood.
Some wicked good, or should I say fantastic views of the out waves of moisture to mix in with spookiness of October. Late season supercells along the dryline were forming & I had to get underneath! You know for the view that are contained within! Oh I got my share that day.
Not to spoil the fun... No Tornado that day.. or at least I didn't see it. Came over the 2 way that the was one on the ground exactly where my cameras was pointed... however bad positing on my part. If it was there I didn't physically see it. It doesn't mean it wasn't there...
The active warning for the Tornado didn't fire off on my alarm till I was already due east of Minden Nebraska. Didn't have the best plan for attack here. I knew it was coming but where I deiced to park wasn't the best viewing position. When that alarm goes off & didn't have the best road network to navigate though the city or around the city of Minden. So I decide to stay put since it was already heading my way.
Sometimes this is a good decision, that day it wasn't. I had played this day out a little to shy & got caught with just an outflow dominate storm that afternoon after the Tornado Warning.
It was a Fun way to end the 2023 Chase Season... Can't Wait for 2024!

Solo Chase Day & Close to Home....
Luv it when the chases are in my backyard. Not having to drive 3 states and 1200 miles in 1 day is relief. I know I'm not the only chaser that says that. This was a phenomenal afternoon of severe weather. When I say this... It means that its photogenic & for the most part not effecting the farms, agriculture, livestock & the human element.
Mammatus before the storm, then I decided to bail on this first storm for the next which was to the north about 25 miles. This storm had wicked good rotation under the base. Even though it was high based it was producing some freakin awesome views.
The storm had overtaken my position and I had a 40 min drive to get back in front of this storm. It was on my tail the whole way back to the I-80 corridor. Though a little late I was still able to get back in front of shelf cloud. The teeth on the outflow were almost scraping the ground. It gave the effect of a funnel but it was not. Been doing this to long to make sure I know the difference.
That was a hoot. Though I waited til the last minute. I got swallowed by the core & had to wait it out. Want to see what its like out in the open with no shelter... This I have also done a billion times. 50mph winds rocked my truck! That was fun!
Finally, I blazed it backed to Kearney for this Storms Finale... Beautiful Sunset light illuminates the exiting storm with a Anvil Rain & Mammatus Cluster ... It was truly a Sight to See!!!!

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.
Thanks for Watching & Supporting my Photography here on Flickr!

Another Incredible Stacked Image from that night of storms in South Central Nebraska. The CG Lightning from that evening was severe... This all was captured within 7 mins. 5 Stacked Images... I was outside of my truck. My Son was with me begging me to get in the truck.... Untill that one strike that was so close that it freaked me the **** out... Was well worth the time!

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 photography to date...
Now exiting Kansas, on the Colorado Border. This cell would be the one that would produce the Wray Tornado. I had a perfect view of the furthest south cell as I was entering Colorado and trying to get to Hwy 385 North....
Tornado warnings had been issued for Yuma County, and looking at the spotter log, there were about 300 chasers on those particular warned storm cells.
Due to this, I had thought I was out of the game for the day. Traveling all that way, honestly, I was getting anxious thinking that I drove all this way for nothing... but I was so wrong......

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.

Finally out in front of this storm again. We had a long drive south just to get in Northern Buffalo County in South Central Nebraska.
Cloud to cloud lightning was firing off every few seconds. This storm meant business, and was growing into a monster.
We parked a few miles outside of town and waited for this to creep ever so closer.

"Stacked Plates" is storm chasers jargon for us to describe a strongly striated mesocyclone! Oh this was a B E A U T Y!
Late August 2011. This was a LP (Low Precip) Storm, and she didn't drop an ounce of rain. If anything did come down it evaporated before it hit the ground. It was so damn hot and humid and was just happy the sun was blocked out by the clouds and then this came along. Along with the severe warning it had on it a few counties north of my location as it moved south.
You can clearly see the mid-level inflow bands. Better known as striations. These were so well defined it was jaw dropping!
When the storm got close enough I couldn't really see or verify a wall cloud of any type. We had a few lowerings, but nothing significant to get me to report it. So I really can't call this a supercell. But it sure was fun one to witness!

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.
First Stop Beaver City just for a few mins. This is where the storm intensified and we had a well defined Meso on this storm with all the extras.
We were still a few miles ahead of this beast and safe. Plenty of time to stop and have a picnic.... A well 4 course meal of Storm Photography!

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!!!!

Forming storm cells in northern Buffalo county, and moving slowly due south. You could see the sufficient cloud to ground lightning firing off every few second as I was driving north, right under base of the storm. With the low cloud cover there wasn't much of a photographic oppertunity I had to move south again.
Sitting right on the western outskirts of Kearney, I was out of the low cloud cover, clear skies to the west with this approaching storm cell was almost to good to be true!
This was one of the few times I had the opportunity to capture lightning this past summer of 2016. Lightning is tough to capture the way it is and I'm still learning techniques to do better. I would say these captures came out better than expected.

I have had several jaunts this year down to Kansas from South Central Nebraska. This would be one of many. We had a moderate risk day, and things were looking good for a good chase day. Though I had time restrictions, and had to work again at 11pm that evening.
Though I work overnights and only a few hours of sleep that morning. I had been invited to ride along with with owner and friend Nathan Moore from StormViewLive.com. I wasn't going to miss this opportunity. We have similar interest and we both love to chase. It was to be a good day.
The day was a hoot, though the storm chase would turn into a bust... We really didn't miss out. Storms just south of Russel Springs Kansas were firing, but due to my time restrictions we didn't get to the cells we wanted to chase that day. Though this didn't limit my ability to take a few good snaps from that afternoons storms.

This set of captures were taken just south of Wymore Nebraska. I had just came from south of Fairbury when over our 2 way reports of the storm to the south of Wymore had just went tornadic and there had already been confirmed reports of funnels ...
I don't speed, I calculated the time it would take for me to get there and .. I had time indeed to get into position to intercept. So I moved again to get into position, to get aligned with this next storm cell.
Already in Wymore & heading south. The storm was Raging... Moving due northeast... Some good hail 1 1/2" diameter hail stones were pounding my truck just on the outskirts of the township. I had stopped in a safe position... I was on the back end of the storm on the southwest side of the rotation... about 200 yards due east I noticed rotation right in front of me and BINGO...
2nd Tornado of 2018 in all of it's sweetness....
EF-0
Path about 1 - 1 1/2 mile to the northeast
All 3-4 mins of it eh!!!

Another Moderate Risk day... but I'm the one taking the risk as I started my day in west central Kansas. Though just my luck all the action was in my backyard in south central Nebraska that afternoon. I should have stayed local...
Storm development was spotty at best, and the first storm was the best of the day, though I did get into some action once back into southwest Nebraska... I wasn't disappointed...

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!

Right on the Nebraska / Kansas Border
NWS had the severe weather events for that day were to be about 200 miles to the east of south central Nebraska. Though we still had a risk of severe weather, but with the 100 Temps and lots of moisture to work with... it was bound to happen.
Finally, after waiting for a extremely slow train crossing Hwy 136 west, we were able to get south of Red Cloud Nebraska. Met up with some other chasers and we all were going to go follow the leading severe warned cells in central Kansas. Low and behold the cell just south of Red Clouds had just went into a warning. Can you say right place.... Right Time!
This was simply the best structured cell that I have caught up this season for tornadic activity. This cell did not produce a tornado, but it had rotation, hail, and torrential rain. Eye Candy for the Storm Chaser in mind....

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.

Severe warnings just to the west of Lexington Nebraska on a Sunday eve...shortly after 9pm... what more could I ask for!
Way past sunset and I had all the equipment ready to go. Jaunted out to a few miles west of the city to get set up for a intense night of storm photography & videography.
This ended up being the best photogenic storm of April 2019 and I didn't have to chase it as it came to me! How sweet is that! April Storm Chasing Eye Candy!

Not officially a storm chase, this severe thunderstorm scooted just to the west of Elm Creek Nebraska. I couldn't resist!
It has been a rather long wait cycle for storms here in South Central Nebraska. Most of all of the action has been around us but never close enough for my ability to chase them this year. So you can about imagine when this was coming close that I wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Its the first true firing of storms here in south central Nebraska and that means the season has finally started. Can't wait for the next events which will be this coming week!

"Stacked Plates" is storm chasers jargon for us to describe a strongly striated mesocyclone! Oh this was a B E A U T Y!
Late August 2011. This was a LP (Low Precip) Storm, and she didn't drop an ounce of rain. If anything did come down it evaporated before it hit the ground. It was so damn hot and humid and was just happy the sun was blocked out by the clouds and then this came along. Along with the severe warning it had on it a few counties north of my location as it moved south.
You can clearly see the mid-level inflow bands. Better known as striations. These were so well defined it was jaw dropping!
When the storm got close enough I couldn't really see or verify a wall cloud of any type. We had a few lowerings, but nothing significant to get me to report it. So I really can't call this a supercell. But it sure was fun one to witness!

Rare for Nebraska in November that is....
There was some risk of severe weather that afternoon. In fact.... way out of season severe weather. There was just enough instability by afternoon to allow the thunderstorms to develop, strengthen, and even spin up a few tornadoes in the 4-5 p.m. CST time frame.
I had a 5 hour drive back from Missouri and was exhausted. Plus I had to work in a few hours so chasing this storm was just not possible that afternoon. But I did venture out to capture a few snaps of that afternoons events.
Pictured here were the cells effecting the Red Cloud to Clay Center Nebraska areas. I was just to the south of the I-80 Minden Interchange. Found a cozy spot without any powerlines and pointed my camera to the east southeast.
Some amazing captures to finalize my severe weather photography for 2016

Gotta luv severe weather when it pops close to home and I don't have to travel very far. One concern was my truck. Diagnosed with wheel bearing and axle problems. I wasn't going to go to far.
Right off the bat, wall cloud was forming on the back edge of this supercell. Severe warnings were up, but this storm had other plans. It just decided not to move for about 25 mins and stayed right in place.
Quarter sized hail and I had a few bruises to prove it! Plus we had another lone cell just to the north of this one which would eventually get eat'n up by this cell but it sure was purdy to watch!
No nader this day, but structure, hail, and strong winds made this a perfect day for severe weather photography and videography!

It storm chasing go time this time of year. Another phenomenal day of storm chasing was upon us in South Central Nebraska.
We had another moderate risk day, and again, the sky was again talking to me. Best of all this was going to be a local chase day.
Now on the back side of this storm. NWS just put out a warning for this cell and I was in the right place at the right time to capture this rainbow of this rotating thunderstorm.

Dark, dramatic clouds stretch across the sky, threatening a storm over a flat, rural landscape. A dirt road leads off into the horizon, flanked by fields under the looming weather.

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.

A dramatic shelf cloud gathers ominously over a vast green field, creating a stark contrast between the vibrant grass and the darkened sky. The scene captures the raw power and beauty of nature's forces.

Early May ... 2024
Vivid streaks of light illuminate a turbulent sky over a barren landscape at night, revealing the dynamic nature of an approaching thunderstorm. Flashes of lightning appear to rip through the darkness, creating an atmosphere of raw elemental power.
Check out the Tornado on the lower right part of the screen... This was in Axtell Nebraska as I was pointing the cams to the due west. Confirmed on Radar... Yes It was coming right at me so I didn't stay long!

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!
Tornado warning had just come over about 4:20pm MDT and we were just about to intercept. We were 4 mins late to see the tornado but we did get right under the base off the storm that produced it. Strong winds and hail accompanied this as we got to the south of this rotating supercell. Up close and personal!

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!!!!

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....
Now positioned just to the west of Eustis Nebraska. In some of these captures you can see the water tower from city of Farnam. I wasn't able to get ahead the storm, though just as good, as I got right along side this monster.
Perfect timing, perfect light, and the perfect storm... what more could I ask for!!!! You Gotta Love Nebraska!
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.

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!

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.
First Stop Beaver City just for a few mins. This is where the storm intensified and we had a well defined Meso on this storm with all the extras.
We were still a few miles ahead of this beast and safe. Plenty of time to stop and have a picnic.... A well 4 course meal of Storm Photography!

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.

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.
