Now with the 2nd storm coming from the south moving due north... you can see the next cell that was producing the 3rd couplet and I was on its tail end. Though I couldn't drive fast due to all the hail that had just come down on the west side of the cell I was just on.
I had to stop due to the roads were to slick to drive on... Even in 4w drive.... I had to pull over. Right in front of the NTV News Studios... paused for a few mins to get my grip back... almost lost it on HWY 10 north more than once

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.
I bet you folks all thought I was done with this set... I had a long drive back home that late afternoon. The sun was starting to drop. I was riding alongside the storm that I had just been chasing all afternoon. Some incredible light on the backside of this storm was just to good to pass up. Pulled over... and grabbed these final shots after the afternoon.
If your patient enough to wait, because it takes time. One can get some captivating perspectives after the storm... These are good examples! An excellent way to end this chase day!

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!

Even though I wasn't feeling the best, there were small chances of some small cells developing to our northwest that afternoon. It was enough to pull me out of my slump...

Another evening of some incredible stormscapes coming north out of north central Kansas in to southeast Nebraska that evening....
But as I turned to do a 180... We had the a dying storm cell coming from the west. Still no rain for us since mid June and it has been hot and dry.
Sunset light against this dying storm cell was just jaw dropping. The incredible color from the sunset was just glowing against this mammatus cloudscape. It was painting this Thunderset, and truly it was a sight to see a slice of mother natures magic in Nebraska.

This was taken just to the south of Overton Nebraska. This severe storm cell was aggressive. When I approached it was already tornado warned and it would be the start to one of the most photogenic days of 2011 for my storm photography.
What your viewing here is a classic example of what we call in storm chasing the RFD (Rear Flank Downdraft)
The rear flank downdraft or RFD is a region of dry air wrapping around the back of a mesocyclone in a supercell thunderstorm. These areas of descending air are thought to be essential in the production of many supercellular tornadoes.

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

As the first supercell had now moved north towards the North Platte Area. I was in the path of the 2nd storm gaining intensity and severity.
This was a larger complex of developing storm cells and I thought it was going become outflow dominate due to the large bow on radar from the outflow.
Though I would be wrong and this would stay organized and one could say I was in for a treat. Patiently awaiting I had the perfect spot again for this end of the year footage.
I was directly in the notch of this storm. Multi lightning bolts, cloud to cloud and cloud to ground were illuminating the ski every few seconds. Clearly defined cloud structure as one can see the developing wall cloud as it approached my location.
Yes this was very dangerous but this is what I do. Most never will or ever get to see a storm like this. Not this up close and personal as I did this evening. A wicked good way to end my Storm Chasing Weather Adventures in 2019!

Our first true storm chase outing for 2021. Slight Risk was issued for North Central Kansas and eastern South Central Nebraska. It would be expanded after 4pm. We thought we would be in business due to the dry-line was firing off some incredible thunderstorms to our north and to our south. We had pinpointed the dead center of the risk area that is exactly where we ended up...
Crazy thing... it was the Exact Middle of the United States of America... I'm not kidding! We stayed in this area and waited for the storm to fire. We did get what we came for but none of the storms in North Central Kansas went severe that afternoon. They did about 3 hours after we left... figures right...
There will be more storms..

I've learned a few valuable lessons over the years of chasing severe weather. One of them is to be extremely cautious of the dirt & dust that is kicked up in the early storms of the season. I spend hundreds of $$$ on keeping my lens clean. I should say lenses since I have multiple cams. Meaning I don't get my cams out for the dirt. Yes its going to happen but not again on the first storms of the year... Please note that you can see the haze of the dirt flying in on the back side of the storm it was nasty.
It was good to see the return of the first storms of the season here in South Central Nebraska. This was the same system that produce all those tornadoes in Iowa, but this was the day before. (Someone messaged me & asked why I wasn't chasing Iowa) Real reason is its Way East... Ya I could have gone but I had some other responsibilities & want to save the $ for fuel for later chase dates... There will be more storms!
While the rest of the US has seen its share of severe weather this springtime 2023. Nebraska has a very limited amount of nice weather, let alone nicer temps as spring approaches. Just last week we had a winter squall come through with 6 inches of snow. So yes there was snow still on the ground in a few places as temps reached 70 here for the first time this year.
I need to get out & grasp a few snaps before the haboob swept over the city. (Dust Storm)
Officially my first of 2023, can't wait to see what's next!

Some of my best severe weather photography came out of this night supercell. This was a storm to remember in 2014.
This storm cell was at first, a very slow mover moving southeast about 9-10mph before it even reached northern Buffalo County. I had to work late and I was considering not to even go out. Glad I made an effort to do so....
Most of these captures were north of Odessa Nebraska US, and some in the city limits of Kearney,

(The Good)
Beautiful Structure with this cell. Luv' the teeth it was producing as was gaining strength. This is what I live for... Its one of the main reasons why I chase.
(The Bad)
Though at this time I didn't know that the stormcell to my northwest (which we cannot see here this is pointed southwest) was starting to merge with this cell. It would eventually overtake me, even moving due east...believe me when I say it was nasty... it was
Tornadic, strong, building, maturing... I sure was at the right place at the right time. (This doesn't usually happen eh) One cannot get these incredible close up shots... just that...up close and personal without being there!!!
@ This time... some of my best storm photography for 2018!

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.
We were in front of the hail core and it moved right on top of us again. We shifted again to the east to get the final moments of this dying supercell. The final light of the day and the perfect position gave us some incredible colors!
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....

I couldn't believe it... Another late night storm and this one was brief but packed a punch and some nice lightning as it passed to the northwest of Kearney
Usually by this time in any year here in Nebraska our storm season is way over. Not that way in 2021. Our severe weather pattern stayed active all the way til late December 2021.

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.

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....

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!

Well, I had a long drive back after not catching anything of value. Actually, I was pretty much upset with myself. Didn't plan anything correctly that day. So I just wanted to make the best of what was not.
Fortunately, storms were cresting to my northeast on the drive back. I had the chance to pull over a few times to capture the incredible sunset and skyscapes of Kansas.

First Moderate Risk in South
Central Nebraska & North Central Kansas.
A short jaunt down the severe weather risk area that day from Kearney Nebraska. Arrived in Alma Nebraska a tad behind schedule. The storm was already tornado warned and produced a tornado southwest of Alma. Storm was raging and I wasn't in a good place. Had to core punch this storm & headed east via Hwy 136. That's were this collection of images starts.
I was east bound on Hwy 136 that skirts the border of Nebraska / Kansas. This would take me deep into the Moderate Risk for that severe weather day. Instability was visible everywhere out in front of this storm. A Mammatus Cluster with a wall cloud was right in front of me while another supercell was producing tornadoes behind my current location.
Wicked Beautiful Supercell Structure as I got up close & personal. Especially by Franklin Nebraska where I encountered my first Tornado of 2022.
East then north out of Red Cloud Nebraska. The storms were still producing severe weather but was exiting fast out of my range. End this day with a spectacular view of the backside of the storm. A huge mammatus cloud cluster to enjoy as I was heading home!

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

Storm were to develop early afternoon but the dry line stalled. Late afternoon into mid evening the dry line pushed just to the west of our location.
Rarely do we get to see the full development from nothing to a full fledged supercell and this one had fast development resulting in some of my best storm photography for 2012

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.
Now just west of Orleans Nebraska. Meso on this storm was getting well defined. Definite rotation and we were under it. Pulled ahead of the storm about 5 to 6 miles to get this next set of jaw dropping images.

36 Years ago, with a peaked curiosity, I dove feverishly into the world of storm chasing and well, the rest is history. Fast forward a few years and my current journey in storm photography & videography has unlocked a completely new life that I never imagined would exist. Oh how my adventures continue...
Mother Nature definitely orchestrated her magic on this first storm chase of the season. Warm front had positioned itself right over the state of Nebraska. Pulling in all that warm moist air from the south created the perfect conditions for severe thunderstorm development. I was on the hunt & wouldn't be denied this day.
I got to witness 3 very sculptured Supercells that afternoon.... This was Supercell #2!!!
Was just east of Wilcox & the dirt roads hadn't been rained on yet. (I usually don't travel them anymore if they are) to watch this 2nd Supercell develop.
This is where most say I'm just simply down right nuts.... I had to get closer.
I've done this so many times I don't get nervous at all. Simply stating. I know what is safe & what is not. If you want the good pics / video. You gotta get into the action... but do is safely. Again Storm chasing isn't for everyone. But for me its what I do best!

Just spent 2 full weeks in ICU @ hospital. Honestly, I was still not feeling the best... but I have this passion for lightning.
This storm was about 50 miles away tracking from Grand Island Nebraska down to the south near Hastings Nebraska. From my POV it was almost due west of my location. My better half... & I had a busy day and I was glad to be home after that little jaunt. Long day means early to bed. Though she hit the sack and I stayed up to check up on my storm chasing duties and what I had missed over the past 2 weeks...
All of my gear was charged and ready to go.. but I was under strict orders not to go out... but I did anyway. lol I had to sneak out to do so.
I just went out to one of my places I know for good open skies and took a few snaps with my new camera and lens. They didn't turn out the best due to I wasn't use to this new setup. Though not bad for not knowing the gear and of course I wasn't supposed to be out.
It all turned out good. I didn't get into trouble after I told her. Pics came out well for what I went through to get them here!

We were heading back into Missouri as the strongest of the storms were now way north. No way to catch up to them and the cells south were redeveloping for another wave. It was our end destination for the night...
We were in the middle of the 2 cells, and as we paused for a few minutes to get our bearings. Beautiful ambient light was cresting from the setting sun.

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!

Pushing close to 60,000 feet, these cells had some good instability. Finally, we had some moisture to play with and dew points we on the rise.
Patiently waiting the 2017 chase season, I was off to capture some impressive Nebraska stormscapes.

Looking to get to the best position for this incoming shelf cloud! Moved again to get the best advantage for my captures. Now east side of Kearney on some new roads still under construction, no traffic and all open sky that I want.
This storm cell eventually developed into a monster with quarter sized hail and 60+mph wind speeds. This was a terrific photographic beast. A dangerous but a fruitful basket of storm chasing eye candy!

This particular set..... We were approaching this from the north Hwy 183 south of Comstock Nebraska 8:50pm
We didn't have to wait long... things went sever fast. 2" diameter hail was on its way.
We had to scoot south otherwise get pounded. I've already broke 2 windshields this year... 3 wasn't in the plan.
Just a few final shots till I headed south.

A wicked bad day of severe weather in South Central Nebraska. For more information on that day... NWS Official Report.
A tornadic supercell with an Ef1 or Ef2 tornado struck the city of Kearney late afternoon. The aftermath wasn't pretty. I sure wanted to be out chasing but I was scheduled for work, and missed the entire historic event.
Power was out, but I did have the camera batteries charged. Geared up, with camera in hand after I got home from work. I took a few minutes during clean up that night to capture these incredible cloudscapes that were on the back side of the storms.
These were the final rays, the last light of the day. These clouds were truly some spectacular stormscape captures to end that day of severe weather!

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

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

One thing you can count on in Nebraska is the Seasonal Shifts. When the season change here they are always on time. Our first batch of thunderstorms came though that afternoon as the first of 2014.
Non severe of course. I just couldn't sit back and let first weather event of 2014 just pass me by.

Dark, ominous scud clouds dominate the sky as a storm looms over a rural landscape. In the distance, a faint glow of light hints at the sunset, contrasting sharply with the turbulent atmosphere above.

Now on the I-80 Interchange at the Elm Creek Nebraska Exit.
I did a 90 degree turn to the left and this was right in front me. 2 tornadoes down at the same time.
I could hear the trees being ripped out of the ground and they sounded like a thousand snapping toothpicks was the tornado to my right. This one in front of me was destroying houses and trailers right over / past the Platte River
The winds physically knocked me down to the ground and once I got up I took a few snaps and then it pushed me back into the ditch. I got up and watch my truck (2 ton) slide across the Interchange...in park. The other truck in front of me got the **** out of there.... It was time to go. But I did capture a few shots before I exited this nasty environment.

Mid to late June in Nebraska is... in my words... a photographic storm chaser's heaven when it comes to storms. Almost every afternoon through mid evening then into the overnight, north south east or west of Kearney Nebraska we have storms that you can see clearly for hundreds of miles in any direction. Of course not all at the same time but there is plenty of eye candy this time of year.
Putting some distance between myself, a good photogenic storm and a good camera lens...The skies Nebraska offers this time of the year are truly magical. Though, there are a lot of farms and telephone poles, but if you can find the right places, there is open fields, and excellent perspectives. You can capture something special. As for example, this evening...
Folks, you see that I'm not always about chasing the Tornado. When severe weather approaches. These Nebraska Skies, they talk to me... and I never miss a good conversation...

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, as 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....

Almost late June 2020, and the severe weather season has been just down right horrible for anything of photographic value this year. I mean this when I say Chase Locally. Due to Health issues, Truck maintenance issues, Equipment Issues, Camera Issues... With all that has been going on in my life, I've had to pick my chasing days and nights carefully this year. To be 100% Honest... I'm just happy I get to chase! Never let bad things set you back when the opportunity presents itself. That's my motto!
Luckily I had all my gear ready to go when when had strong severe thunderstorms develop in north central Nebraska and they were cresting southward down to south central Nebraska. My home turf.
This time of year is when everything changes weather wise here in south central Nebraska. Monsoons down in the southwest part of the US are firing and that usually means for us no storms. Not in 2020. Even though we had a late start to severe weather season here... mother nature hasn't let me down so far. She has remained active in my neck of the woods.
All the storms this day were outflow boundary generated storms. Meaning no tornadoes this day. Though I did capture 1 funnel, you'll see this in the video. Though with outflow dominate storms shelf clouds form and they can be more than picturesque. Its what I was hunting for this day! Oh did I get some and then some!
