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.

What an epic day turned to and outstanding night...
I had an early rise to April 6, 2019 as I spent my day at the 2019 UNL (University of Nebraska) @ Lincoln Severe Weather Symposium. Met some incredible people as a few thousand people came by our booth for StormViewLive and SVLMedia.
We were to have storms pop south of Lincoln after the event but non of them went severe. The HRRR map models had promise but I decided to head back to Kearney for the night event.
Though I was beet and extremely tired I went out for a few hours and stuck close to home. I should have traveled south down the Nebraska Kansas Border, due to the severity of the storm but it was much later in the night and I had to get some sleep.
I did capture a few nice shots as some of the storms did produce some nice lightning right over the city of Kearney.

*** Personal Note ***
This is the original set back in 2014. If there was any type of editing done, I used the free Avery photo editor here Flickr. My Opinion... it wasn't the best but I had no prior knowledge of editing them back then. Plus I only shot in .jpg format not in .raw and I didn't do the best by over coloring and over saturation. There are some in this set this way. I was very under experienced in photo editing back then.

Always good storm chasing stories to tell about my weather adventures in 2014.
Days right after my knee replacement... Home from the hospital & I definitely wasn't supposed to be out and about. Knee was almost in a cast and I wasn't supposed to be doing anything to aggravate the situation. Though my quest for severe weather never ends and I wasn't going to miss another possible chase especially when its in my backyard. This storm was going to be a photogenic monster... Decision was made & off I went.
Stepped out to the front of the house and directly due southeast of Kearney was this incredible thunderhead display on the back side of this storm. The sun had finally peaked out from the western cloud cover and was really illuminating the back side of this storm.
Another epic set of thunderstorm captures from South Central Nebraska. Though I paid for it with my knee just being replaced. I was super sore and the swelling was unreal a few days after this event. All worth it when it comes to what epic views I caught storm chasing on that particular day!

Incredible structure on this just issued warned storm cell.
Traveling south from Odessa Nebraska, I could see the rotation on this from about 20 miles away.
I didn't waste any time to get to my location just south of Holdrege Nebraska to get into the perfect position to get these captures.

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 hunt for the storms, heading east to the next set of developing storm cells. I came across this incredible rainbow just to the north of Giltner Nebraska.

Storm Chasing Video from that Afternoon on Flickr Click Here
After an afternoon of non-expected storm chasing. We still had storms off to the southwest that eventually moved in to the south of the city.
From where I live I have have a perfect view. So I threw up the 4k and got some snaps while the light lasted.
Just a few cracks of shimmering light captured that evening. But it was well worth the views!

Primed and Set for a new year of Chasing Severe Weather throughout Tornado Alley. This was close to home and not a huge jaunt across several states to find those severe storms. Instead this was just really a test run for the real thing coming soon to our neck of the woods.
Pulse storms forming over a marginal risk area for the afternoon. First of the year in fact so the possibility of a few severe storms were not out of the question.
All in all... It was good to get out and dust the cobwebs off the old dslr! Some nice views from North Central Kansas and South Central Nebraska that afternoon and evening!

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....

August 9, 2014 - North of Axtell Nebraska
Early August Severe Weather...
This was the 2nd set of images after sunset. Had to drive like hell, but within the speed limits to get ahead of this storm. Had to drive through some torrential rain as I slid under the shelf as it passed over my area south of Elm Creek Nebraska.
Now 100% outflow dominate it was pushing this incredible shelf cloud across south central Nebraska. The city lights from Axtell and the City lights of Kearney Nebraska (about 15 miles to my north) were giving that extra light I needed.
City lights painting the sky with this now after sunset shelf cloud. Nice definition to this storm and the light was simply amazing against this thunderstorm silhouette. Nice way to end this local chase day!

Late July 2023...
This month of storms was just down right jaw dropping. Why not continue since we didn't have any storms in May or June! Overtime for July is the way I like it!
90% of the time of year in South Central Nebraska is Hot & Humid. It is normally the beginning of our dry season. But not in 2023.
In the path of the Jet Stream that day that forced some severe thunderstorm development over south central Nebraska. We were not excepting anything super severe but a tornado or 2 is always possible this time of year.
Gear Primed & excited about the views I'm going to get for this event that day. I knew they were going to be photogenic.

Moved to the south to get ahead of this monster once again! TVS Warnings and Tornado Warnings were in front and back of our location as we traveled to Trenton Nebraska. Again we didn't see any tornadoes. If they were there they were rain wrapped.
We honestly should not have been in the thick of it with no visibility but that's whats called punching the core to get to the other side of the storm.
Back in front of this we had lost our warning for the storm but within 10 mins of being there another tornado warning popped up right in front of us.
Radar had indicated the tornado just to the northwest (right side of this image) but we couldn't see it due to the intensity of the rainfall. We had just a few mins before the core of the storm passed over us. These are the images before that event!

Very late in the season for tornadic supercells but we had some this day. Good Friend and fellow Chaser Myles Nelson, it was his birthday. So to celebrate we had to get a game plan on.
Night before there was none predicted for any severe storms, but mother nature had different plans. Waking up, and checking the morning model scans we had a much different story. We planned accordingly and things panned out for us to follow the first storms to pop to the east of Hastings Nebraska.
This cell packed to early punch but eventually faded out by Bruning Nebraska. Luckily the 2nd cell we had been monitoring just to the south of Hastings was maturing and had the all the right stuff. We scooted west to get into position. Then via Hwy 14, just south of Nelson Nebraska was our first TVS marker, and a scans showed a decent hail core developing. We were in luck as this storm was building and maturing fast.
Once this first event was on top of us, we positioned south and east of Superior Nebraska via Hwy 8 to do it again. Where we met up with several other chasers that were on the hunt. Good to see good friends again as this cell was again in a maturing stage producing come incredible cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning.
Eventually we had to punch through the core via west of Superior as we again head south into Kansas via Hwy 14. East of Mankato Kansas we ran into the 3.5 inch hail core next to Formoso Kansas and we had to stay ahead of this to stay out of the core. North of Courtland Kansas the cell was on our tail and we were in the notch. Surreal cloud structure could be seen as we had pushed east.
West of Scandia we ended up in a Tornado Warning was it had push up right against us. A Train had blocked out route east and it got a little never racking. Though the train eventually passed an we were able to escape the worst part of the storm. Ending up just to the west of Scandia Kansas were we experienced 3 inch hail. I have a few new dents but we decided wisely not to go any further due to the rain rapped tornado in this storm. Got by a building and had some protection from the winds and hail.
It was the end of the video's chase day and another tale to tell in my storm chasing adventures for 2019!

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!

This is PART 1
Little did I know that this was going to be the last thunderheads of the season I would see. Traveling west via i-80 to get to the developing cells west southwest of North Platte Nebraska.
This was the first cells of the day that went severe but I wasn't going to chase those cells to the north. More were developing to west. Had to get west to get to the dryline and wait for the action to begin.

Another Incredible Nebraska Skyscape. Beautiful July ambient light, against a dying thunderstorm. Nope it's not severe but it's what I do when the light is right. Plus, I was super sick... A few days away from being forced into the hospital. I'm better now, and thankful.. that's a story to come!
I honestly took extra time on these captures. I was using a new filter on my new lens. So no added color or any adjustments to the image in Photoshop on this set. Now I had to bring them through Photoshop from raw... but that's it and of course the pano's are done separately.
Also... I only had one camera...for video that evening. Otherwise you would have seen this first storm cross over and you would have seen some sweet Nebraska thunderstorm views. Just to the east southeast. July Mammatus... these are just as sweet as this video... Just captures though...These have been added to this set.
It seemed the sicker I got, the better the photography I took... It was only about 10 days till I was forced into the hospital. I shouldn't have been out. But you don't get captures like this if you don't go try to catch them...
I was sick but had a blast, and what I caught was just Awesome!

Lightning is the main reason why I chase storms. I'm fascinated by the pulses of light it produces. So by placing myself in direct line of a nasty overnight supercell... It is what I call FUN.
This was a spectacle of light & storm. Producing Cloud to Cloud Lightning almost every 3 seconds. It was by far the best night time lightning fest of 2023! So Far....

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!!!!

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!

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

So the storms redeveloped as we hastened our way back to the Scottsbluff area. Cells developed to our south into western Nebraska via Kimball County, and we were way to far away to catch up.
We had our own storm coming over the ridge from the southwest. By the time we got into city limits the storm was already on top of us. We decided to head east of Scottsbluff towards the city of Minatare Nebraska. At least we would see something.
Furthest north point of this storm. Beaver Tail (Inflow Tail) fully present over the city. Area of rotation to the left.

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.
Now my attention was the cell that was coming right at my location. In fact there were 2 cells. I was centered on this one in the beginning due to it had a severe warning on it. Both cells would eventually be severe warned.
Though this had some incredible photogenic storm structure. It had some minor rotation with this. It had my interest.

Finally a good chase day I can brag about....
A moderate risk day in South Central Nebraska, with storm forming on the western side of Dawson County & counties due south and southwest.
The first batch of storms were over and the severe warnings now were all pushing north northeast. I pushed down to Overton & the I-80 Interchange as strong new cells were developing to my southwest.
Now for the best part of the day for myself. I have passion for shelf clouds, more than any other cloud type, yes even more than tornadoes. I punched my ticket and had a great seat for the show!
This supercell meant business with 60 mph outflow winds, hail, and torrential rain... I was prepared!

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.

Knowing about the moderate risk of severe storms on the eastern side of Colorado and the western side of Nebraska, I had planned out the day perfectly to intercept the back side of the cells about 4pm Mountain time.
After stopping for a few mins, I had continued east due to the storm cell just the the northeast had a tornado warning on it. A few captures from the road as I was trying to catch up to this storm cell.
From Fort Morgan Colorado via Hwy 34/6 back to Nebraska was my route back behind the developing cells. To honestly say... I wasn't disappointed. The open cloudscapes of Colorado are a photographers dream.

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...

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.

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.

Some good cc and cg lightning strikes were at hand. I couldn't resist...

Finally, on vacation from the Rat Race, and had a weekend with my wife, as we were celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary.
We were heading to Denver for the weekend, and had a to stop a few times to get fuel. We had watched this form over North Central Nebraska and they were in my normal chase area...
We had just stopped for a few minutes in the blistering 100 degree heat that day for a few snaps and some cold drinks

The sun had set, and this cell was loosing some of her steam from that afternoon. However, she tightened and circulation now was evident again. Still had a severe warning on her so I had to stay aware since I had positioned myself almost right under the base.
CG lightning strikes every few seconds was illuminating the sky giving that rich purple flavor. I was safe, but in a dangerous place. Lucky I caught what I caught since she meant business.

I had to take a few days off from that last storm... A few thousand miles of traveling just for a cloud... lol ... Now refreshed from a few days rest... Moderate Risk Day... and It was dead center in my back yard. June in Nebraska is really what I wait for each year... The most violent of storms are always this window of time.
A few thousand chasers, DOWs (Doppler on Wheels), and several chase teams from all over the country...all merged into a tight area for the development of strong cells for that afternoon. Which would turn into early evening before any of the action would start.

Cells just my west were building and I had few moments to get some captures from the outer rim of this storm.

Hot, Humid and Thunder Approaches. Nice thunderstorm cell just to the north of Broken Bow was sliding south into South Central Nebraska.
Gear packed and ready rumble, I slid north via Hwy 10, which was under construction. I didn't remember this when I left that afternoon and it would eventually push me out to the country roads of Northern Buffalo County Nebraska.
Severe warned and producing 3 inch hail. Severe winds were also a factor. It was a good photogenic storm to capture.

Almost mid July in Nebraska. This means ... Boilermaker...
It was 102 when I left Kearney. Hot Humid and uncomfortable. But when storms come, I'm not going to miss these special photographic opportunities. You can always count me in with camera in hand.
Had a moderate threat for severe weather on this day to the south and east of South Central Nebraska. Knowing this, Hwy 6 east through Hastings and then South of Clay center was battle ground for storms to develop. I was in position, but this day would be a bust as the storms would cap and no strong development came out of these storm cells.
I took advantage of what light & storm there was.... and went to town. Click Click Click!

It was the reason why I got into storm photography. It has taken years of practice to capture it without a lightning trigger. Patients is the Key. But when it happens you have to be ready. It doesn't stay around for very long.
Had the equipment locked and stocked. Knew the storm was coming and wala... It took til August 2021 to do but finally some incredibly good and wicked lightning!

Watch Video on Flickr of that Chase Day
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.

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....

2nd Chase of 2017...
Late afternoon and strong storm cells were now developing just to the west of Lexington Nebraska. Warnings were issued for Dawson & Gosper counties and east.
Sitting just north of Elwood Nebraska on Hwy 283. Video was running as I stepped out to get some snaps of this Nebraska thunderstorm beast.

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.
Severe storms now pushing due north northeast, they were also expanding. Had to position my self to the south back into Dawson county. I stopped right on the border between Custer & Dawson counties to get these next few captures. Right before the next storm cluster came into view!

Taken just days after I had smashed my Nikon D50. Strong Gust front took out best camera. Another night storm with outflow came a calling. Even with a sand bag attached to the tripod it still blew it straight over. I was only about a foot away but the wind when the storm hit was nasty bad and I wasn't able to make a saving grab.
So this set of images were taken with 5mp LG phone that I simply hated. I had no other means of taking pics. Weird how this set of images would become one of my most viewed here on Flickr.
Now for the rest of the story....
Seriously, I wasn't even going to chase that afternoon. I was bummed out about my camera and lens. Now in a few unfix able pieces. My daughter Alyssa & I were heading over to good friends to BBQ, and have some Fresh Nebraska Sweet Corn & other yummies...
Just leaving my pad, we had looked out to the Northwest, and my jaw about dropped. It was still 20+ Miles away, I just knew she was coming our way... due to radar and warnings out for western counties... but the outskirts of city limits the clouds told the tale... She was going to be a photographic beauty.
My Daughter was hungry for the BBQ but she also wanted to see this storm up close and personal. I gave her a choice... BBQ or Storm.....she wanted to see the storm and we were off to our storm adventure! It was one of the best photographic shelf clouds of 2011! Glad we were there to capture this!

Typical May evening in Nebraska. High humidity and warm temps were returning to the plains.
Cells were to form to the west north west of Kearney that evening. We had a few rogue storm cells, small but were building and shooting off just a ton on cloud to cloud lightning just to the north of my location.
Trying to get out of the city lights, so I could get some long exposure without all that ambient light. Found a little notch along the highway, and parked. OK, not the best with they power lines in the frame, I know I could photoshop these out but I think it helps give depth.

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.
The storm cell I was chasing most of the day had weakened and the boundary for severe weather was to my west. I had to get north and east via Hwy 36. Ended up parked just south of Phillips Nebraska.
This new cell had warnings on it as I was approaching from the east. Now with good rotation detected on this side of the storm. Building, and getting wound up, this storm meant business.
I was in the perfect position to capture another severe weather photographic treat....

May 4th, 2012 - Northern Buffalo County Nebraska US
I Seriously, wasn't going to go out this night... Had a weeks worth of hell, and I really just wanted to do was get off work and go home. I was tired, I was cranky, it was the first weekend I've had off in a Month...
As soon as I pulled into the driveway @home, I could hear the weather radio going off and my storm capturing sensation came over me. Listening to the bullitins coming over the radio and I Freaked!. The storms were closer than I had thought. NWS just put warnings for Northern Buffalo County for super fast development of strong to potentially super severe, with large hail, and possible Tornadoes.
Photography Chance of a lifetime... Even though someone could cast me as a member of the Walking Dead....I was a trooper and I didn't wimp out! Luckily I had the my camera on the charger... Grabbed all my equipment & I hauled A** North... 20 mins later I found myself in the perfect spot, under the perfect conditions!
Cresting over northern Buffalo County, ready to cross between Pleasanton & Ravenna Nebraska, this cell was rapidly building and already had tornado warning on it. Incredible CG lightning in front of the storm cell was just to good to capture, with lighting firing off every few seconds.

"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!
