I was late to the game on this one after the mesoscale discussion had everything to my east and models had cells developing into northern Kansas. I took the risk and missed out on the eastern Nebraska severe weather that afternoon.
Though I was late I wasn't out of the game as I approached from the south back into Nebraska and got into position for the severe warned cells that had just produced a tornado 25 mins before my arrival to my north. Excellent structure as the cells moved to the due south... I was in for a supercell photographic treat!

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!

After midnight... It was super late & I had to work the next morning early.... Ouch
But I'm a trooper when it comes to storms. No severe warning on this storm til it moved into Buffalo County from the due northwest.
I could see this shelf cloud out for miles. But it honestly just sat there moving about 5 mph for about and hour. Took forever just to get a few snaps... But it was worth it!

The month of July in Nebraska is mostly just outflow storms from about mid June on. Meaning extremely strong outflow winds in front of this storm. Destructive that evening with winds over 60+ mph.
Once the storm base moved closer I was able to get some incredible cloud to ground strikes that would make for some of the best lighting captures of 2018. Like clock work I expected a late night storm with some phenomenal definition.
Beautiful crystal blue lightning illuminated the night as the arcus (shelf cloud) approached from the due west. Severe warnings were in place & right in my direction. Got to my location, set up the gear and went to town... Nothing but Crystal Blue Thunderstorm Eye Candy!!!

*** Remastered Series***
****
Editors Note...
Once a year a pull out a few sets from years past to start of the new year. In 2024 this year I have went back & revamped one of my favorite severe storms photo shoots of 2018
Back then I over colorized & over saturated the images. Pixelated & not my best work... Images were what I wanted but not the final product. If you want to see those to compare to these remastered images... here is your Flickr Link to that set of images...
But these are Gems of Gems.. I've even added about 50+ images in this set that I wasn't able to work on back in 2018. I even made a video with the old images to kick off the 2023 season... You can watch this right here on Flickr... Click Here ** Please remember I used the old images in this video **
Lightning is my forte... It is why I chase storms. To have an photo opportunity come up like this & traveled only 6 blocks from my home to get these pics...Gotta Luv Nebraska!

About that evening...
An epic night of sunset light and storm light @ twilight. Its almost every storm chasers dreams... or at least, in my own opinion, to get along side of a storm like this, as its firing away some incredible CC & CG every few seconds. What more could you ask for...
I was that Lucky Guy that evening. Just mother nature and I. Close to home after a few long storm chasing jaunts is just fine by me. She was producing and I was capturing every incredible second of this storm.. No Forking Bolt went away that evening without me getting a snap of its presence..

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

A hop skip & jump from my home here in Kearney Nebraska to this location with a wide open sky! A nicely defined thunderhead was approaching from the southwest and she was moving my way! You know me, I wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Gear was primed & so was I. Simply a beautiful view of this storm. A nicely defined shelf cloud to end out this series of captures!

Impressive... This is what I wait for each year. The opportunity presented itself, and I was prepared. Though I was super sick, and I shouldn't have been out.
I had left early that late afternoon to head north from Kearney. I knew from day prior that this would be a phenomenal storm chasing day. SPC had us on Target from the night before. All the right conditions came together. Awesome.
These were just the outer edges of this supercell as I approached from the southeast. Perfect Conditions, Perfect Light.... but the 3" diameter hail was not, that was to come....
Just some superb captures to start off that storm chase'n afternoon. Which, btw was only the beginning....

*** Personal Note ***
Every year on/in the Non Storm Season... I go back & re-edit the masters. This year I wanted to get this set done since I was way over everything... To much color, to much contrast, there were flaws in the panoramas... The orginal set can be found here on Flickr
I have Remastered this Series
Fixed Everything. Normal Color, no added saturation or contrast. No Extra's. You're seeing the Raw images. Slight adjustment with light but that was about it.. Also Fixed the flaws in the panoramas!...
**************
I have this uncanny knack to get to the right place at the right time when it comes to storms... This one was another spot on encounter. I decided to eyeball this storm and put away the radar and other electronics and just chase use the old way.
It had been a few weeks since any good photographic storms. We had Severe Thunderstorm warnings counties south of Phelps county (Located in South Central Nebraska) that afternoon.
Raced this cell and I was now in position to capture this beauty. Just a few miles north of Elm Creek on Hwy 183. This place has the best view over the valley. Worst cell phone reception ever.. even with a 4g booster I couldn't push out a signal.

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!

Weak storm cells developing to the southwest of Kearney and into my backyard. Another stormscape photo opportunity awaited.
When the storms are off in the distance...
Even though I wasn't chasing the storms that afternoon. Being close to home means that I'll get a chance at capturing some interesting storm cloud structures. Late May storm towers off to my southeast... & the cloudscapes coming up from North Central Kansas would be simply surreal that evening.

It was my last hurrah for 2017.
I had a little time to kill. So I drove under this cell to get on back side of this storm. I knew that the light was perfect for ambient light.
Might as well take advantage of it before I headed south to the cells i would end up chasing that afternoon. I couldn't have asked for a better natural lighting! Thank You Mother Nature!

My last storm chase of the 2015 season was at hand....
This set of captures were taken at the end of August 2015. Even though there have been plenty of small cells over the months of September and til the end of October. This was by far the last supercell that I got to chase, and it was a once in a lifetime photographic opportunity, but I say that for every chase....because it is!
Storms now moving from Custer County to to Northeast Dawson county. Had to hall a$$ north to get set up and find a good location to get some great snaps. Off to Hwy 40 NW to intercept this storm cell in eastern Dawson county!

Humid and the mosquitoes were eating me alive...
I wouldn't have to chase this evening to catch some incredible Nebraska views of this supercell that formed just to the north of Hastings Nebraska. The perfect sunlight cresting against this storm cell was perfect in every way. I knew I was in for a treat. Just a few blocks from home I set up shop!
We had a dying cell to our west creating a beautiful sunset and I would eventually get a few snaps of this. Though was pointing due east from my location on the outskirts of Kearney Nebraska. It had all of my attention. 4 Cameras in position for this event. Pointing due east I was watching these billowing thunderheads on the updraft and it was a sight to see.
I also knew then that this was going to produce come incredible lighting after dark. I was prepared and ready!

This was really the first batch of storms that I would call treat. A photographic atmosphere that I just couldn't resist. Parked up on a hill just to the west of the city to get some of these captures of the sunset and storm.
Storm was due west of my location about 15 miles. It was severe warned but it was moving almost due south. I sat on the outskirts of this storm to try to get the best possible captures.

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!

It was to good to be true, but right after sunset a secondary small non severe thunderstorm started to brew just to the southwest of Kearney.
Even though I just had a spectacular afternoon of some incredible stormscapes, I was in for a treat this night. An electrified thriller, one storm that I wont soon forget.

I had several chances at storms over the month of July into Early August... I did make an several attempts... resulting in several good sunsets (I'll post these at a later time), just no good storms to capture ... until this one.
This would be the start to several sets of images expanding from Mid August to late September and a few chases in October.
10:00pm, and the rain was coming down in sheets. Radar had several cells starting to mature, and warnings were just issued for Northern Buffalo County. Can you say right place right time...
This Ominous Shelf Cloud had several cloud to cloud and cloud to ground shots. Lots of positive lighting in front of this cell. It was incredible hard to see since it was misting and then hard rain right before these captures!

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!

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....
Just off of I-80 west on to Thirty Mile Canal (Road 755) west to Junction 21 south to Ustis Nebraska. I pulled off a for a few moments to get my bearings on this storm. Perfect photo opp as this storm had warnings pop up mins before this capture.
I didn't have much time. I had to get ahead, or at along side of it. Just a few snaps before I headed south.
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.

Most of you know that follow me on Flickr & Social Media... that I love good opportunities to capture lightning. It was one of the reasons why I took up storm photography 20+ years ago. I didn't have many opportunities in 2016 to capture lightning...
This year it started off with a Bang. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. Disappointed of that afternoons chase... I was redeemed by the storms ample cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning strikes. An epic night of storm photography!

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.

2023 sure has had a strange weather pattern. Almost a whole month late to our severe weather season here in south central Nebraska. Little would I know that coming weeks I will find what I've been seeking...
This was the first severe storm with a warning to come into play. In actuality there were 2 storms. This first storm was really defined & had some good visual rotation. The storm behind it with the intense hail core would steal all of this first storm's energy....
Supercell in play... what an epic view this storm had to offer!!!

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....

On the Last Stormchase of the Summer. I had to make this one count. First chase in my new truck. I couldn't have asked for a better Nebraska Stormscape Scenario!
Found and open spot just to the south of Merna Nebraska. Had the perfect view and this thunderstorm was talking!
Loaded all the gear out and started my thing. This truly would become one of my best photographic outings for storms in 2020. Glad I made the effort to go. In spite I just had major surgery 3 days before!

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!

Had to move just a few miles to the north as this storm was weakening by the minute. Just a few final shots of that day.
Even though we had a lowering base and possible wall cloud this cell would go on not to produce anything that afternoon.

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!!!!

We pulled way north and got back into southern Nebraska. Now on the backside of this thunderstorm. Intense cc lighting was to good to pass up.
We pulled off just north of Alma Nebraska. Pointed the lens due south and captured some of the best lightning of 2015

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

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....

In my own opinion....One of the best things on this Planet to experience as a human being...
Sitting on the side of a supercell at sunset in Nebraska! What I was about to witness was going to be epic! True Thunderstorm Eye Candy! Tons of ambient cloud to cloud lightning! Erupting over the spacious Nebraska Skyline..
Front row tickets to the show and this was going to be a double creature feature!

A late June Storm Chase with fellow chaser Myles Nelson in the Eastern Plains of Colorado. Which would eventually takes us into Kansas and back into Nebraska.
We never did catch a tornado due the RFD getting undercut. Simply meaning that it wouldn't produce just south of Yuma Colorado via Hwy 59. Once the storm became outflow dominate it was picture perfect. We had made several stops on Hwy 36 Eastbound. Beautiful structure close to Kirk Colorado and south of Wray. Pure Storm chasing eye candy!!!
Once we got into Kansas by St. Francis and Bird City we were loosing light fast but the it was picture perfect for viewing this incredible storm cell.
We had a long drive back after the last light of the day and this storm was to intensify. It did, making our trip back a little more interesting than expected. This part is not on video, but we became the hunted as this storm really intensified. There was so much lighting being fired off we could see for miles and miles as the storm was picking up steam and moving to the northeast. Relentlessly following us on our heals ever inch of the way back we were getting concerned about out safely. Once we turned east via Hwy 89 back into the southwest portion of Nebraska, we came face to face with a Tornado on the ground close to Wilsonville and another possible one north of Beaver City. That was not in the plan for that evening and it definitely got our attention.

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!
