I've been waiting... & I've had some opportunities to chase the past few systems that came through eastern Nebraska. But I didn't. Time factors & distance would have put me back home about 4:30am. I'm getting older... my bio-clock wasn't going to let me chase those storms.

Watching all the freak'n incredible pics every year, come across my feed from other chasers across the nation. Just some phenomenal storm photography already in 2023. I finally get to get a few snaps of some weak storms out that evening. At least it is a start.

I have to be patient & wait till late April to mid May to see anything of photographic significance come into play into south central Nebraska & north central Kansas. I'm not the only one noticing that 2023 has been weary of our normal moisture flow this time of year. Its has been rather dry & the drought here continues. Especially Western & South Central Nebraska this year.

I was glad to blow the dust of the old cam & get a few snaps of this evenings storm. Non Severe as it passed through south central Nebraska this evening. It sure was photogenic. Bet the farmers were enjoying what rain we did get out of this system.

Nebraska gets a bad rap from folks that pass through this state due its flatness. (BTW the state is not all flat) Though It has some of the best perspectives one could ever want. It just depends on how you look at it.

I myself once hated to live here. Though my travels when I was younger I found out that Nebraska has a lot more to offer than what people think. You just have to look beyond what people say. There is a lot more here than one might think.

Perspective in this photograph... is what I want to you to view. The soul ambiance of a Pure Nebraska Sunset has its own magic. Until you experience this just once... Just as good as seeing one anywhere else on the Planet. In my words... better.

BTW there is a storm in the background.... lol Just had to put that in there...

Sitting on the west edge of Kearney, we can see right over the Platte River valley.

Storms were just building as they were moving to the northeast. I got there just in time to set up the tripod and let mother nature do the talking!

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.

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 north of Alma Nebraska...

We didn't allow us much time to find a suitable spot for us to the base of the storm. A few things to note here.

When we chase, SAFETY is the number 1 thing that I stress to the individuals that chase with me. I have to practice what I preach.

We have to find a safe spot to pull off and get the pics, vids. Once we make this choice to pull off when always include a EXIT plan before we stop. (Chasing for all these years, I've learned a very valuable lesson. Never stop unless you have an open an safe exit area when chasing severe weather

We had limited time when we stopped. Storm was approaching fast from the southwest. Where we stopped I wasn't considering how high the corn here in Nebraska in late August. We didn't get a choice to move. It was now or never. So we stopped & set up fast and got with I could with 4k @ ground level.

It was our best structure of severe weather 2021. Defined Meso... Eye Candy Structure.... What more could we ask for!

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.

Sporadic cloud to ground lightning. More so the cloud to cloud lightning was illuminating this shelf cloud & underbelly of this storm. It was a fast mover so not many but a few gems to close out this night.

Now back in Kearney, just off to the west of the city. Sitting on top of the bluff to get the best view of the valley below. 2 storms lined up, one that I was chasing to the south was moving to the north northeast and the cell growing fast by Elm Creek Nebraska was building. Eventually these would merge but not stay at any severeness for the rest of the evening. Though I had front row tickets to this show... wasn't gonna miss anything!

It's that time of year that we have our daily severe thunderstorms roll though south central Nebraska.

Storms were brewing just to the counties west. Of course I had to work, and only had about an hour to do my thing.

Grabbed my equipment and found a new spot away from the city lights to capture the incredible structure and cloud to cloud lightning display.

Though not many in this set, some good gems to add to my 2016 collection of thunderstorm captures.

There have been storms either out of my chasing area or constraint on the timing of them. So by saying this, it was my first chase of the 2026 storm season.

Massive supercell storm clouds approach over a flat expanse of rural farmland. The contrasting colors of the sky and the field enhance the ominous atmosphere.

Was quite surprised to see storms develop out in the western part of Nebraska that day. The cold front had pushed into the state by early afternoon and severe storms were forming. Severe weather watches were posted for Dawson and Custer counties. Storms were moving at 10mph and I had plenty of time to catch up to them from Kearney.

Just south of Ansley Nebraska, this particular cell was under a severe thunderstorm warning and there was good development off to the north and west. Though I was on the outer edge of the north severe cell I pulled off and got a few good captures.

Most of you know, if you follow my photostream, I'm a lightning fanatic. Since I work overnights this year, it has been extremely hard to find the time to do so.

After a long day of chasing, we made it home late afternoon. Right before midnight we had another developing cell with a good lightning display. Though when I finally got set up, the storm was weakening and and I only had time for a few captures... It was worth it... just for these few.

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!

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.

We had a long drive back to home! Behind the storm that afternoon was a full lit sky of mammatus cloud. We had to wait for the sun to peek out behind the clouds but that is when the real magic happened. The sky at dusk was simply epic!

An experienced... storm chaser knows that after the storm is one of the most photogenic parts of the storm. Some of the best shots I've ever taken have been on the backside of a thunderstorm. I call them Thundersets!

Now...if your not a storm chaser and one is patient enough to wait for the base of the storm to move with the limits of the sunset light. Special things can happen, have your camera ready there is always some magic happening!

This was that experience. There is no place like Nebraska!

In September, Nebraska’s sunsets transform into breathtaking spectacles, amplified by the dramatic presence of thunderstorms and supercells. As summer’s heat begins to wane, the Great Plains remain a hotbed for dynamic weather, with warm, moist air clashing against cooler fronts to create vibrant, fiery skies. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the vast Nebraska landscape in hues of orange, pink, and purple, often intensified by towering cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds, illuminated by the fading light, glow with an ethereal quality, their edges tinged with gold as the sun’s rays refract through the atmosphere. The open plains offer an unobstructed view, making the interplay of light and storm clouds a daily masterpiece, where the sinking sun seems to set the sky ablaze against the silhouette of distant fields.

For those in rural areas, watching a September supercell at sunset is an unforgettable experience. The air grows heavy with the scent of rain, and the distant rumble of thunder provides a soundtrack to the visual spectacle. Farmers and storm chasers alike pause to witness the sky’s drama, knowing that these storms can bring both vital rain and potential destruction to the region’s corn and soybean fields. The fleeting moments when the sun’s last rays pierce through breaks in the storm clouds create a sense of timelessness, connecting the observer to the raw, untamed spirit of the Plains. In Nebraska, September sunsets paired with thunderstorms and supercells are not just weather events—they’re a vivid reminder of nature’s ability to inspire wonder and respect in equal measure.

July 9, 2014 - North of Minden Nebraska US

What a Day to remember...

I was just out of surgery for my left knee, I wasn't supposed to be out at all. Knee was swollen to the size of a soft ball or bigger. Wrapped & in a cast but I wasn't about to let one of the best photographic storms of the season pass me by. Mrs & Friends helped me into my truck. Gear in hand I was off!

Before I was able to get on this storm. Historically, this storm wrecked havoc on 16 counties with softball and baseball sized hail. I caught up with it just to the south of Minden Nebraska as I was traveling south. I would never get in front of it but only on the back side as it proceeded to the southeast into North Central Kansas.

From my point of view, it was one of the best photographic storm of the year in South Central Nebraska. Some incredible captures from the back side of this incredibly photogenic thunderstorm. Light & Shadow played well as the Sun peaked out at the end of this day!

Late May 2026

South Central Nebraska... along the Nebraska Kansas Border

Late afternoon into early evening. Severe warnings up for counties south of my location here in South Central Nebraska. Made it down to Harlan County as the storms were slowly loosing their steam. Warnings eventually expired and left me with some photographic opportunities

Dark storm clouds gather over a vast open field, illuminated by the warm glow of a setting sun. The sky's hues transition from dark blues to vibrant oranges.

I've been waiting... & I've had some opportunities to chase the past few systems that came through eastern Nebraska. But I didn't. Time factors & distance would have put me back home about 4:30am. I'm getting older... my bio-clock wasn't going to let me chase those storms.

Watching all the freak'n incredible pics every year, come across my feed from other chasers across the nation. Just some phenomenal storm photography already in 2023. I finally get to get a few snaps of some weak storms out that evening. At least it is a start.

I have to be patient & wait till late April to mid May to see anything of photographic significance come into play into south central Nebraska & north central Kansas. I'm not the only one noticing that 2023 has been weary of our normal moisture flow this time of year. Its has been rather dry & the drought here continues. Especially Western & South Central Nebraska this year.

I was glad to blow the dust of the old cam & get a few snaps of this evenings storm. Non Severe as it passed through south central Nebraska this evening. It sure was photogenic. Bet the farmers were enjoying what rain we did get out of this system.

Sun rays pierce through an opening in the dramatic clouds above a serene landscape. Below, the calm waters of a lake reflect the sky, offering a striking contrast between darkness and light.

It was time to move... storm was getting nasty and I had to get north to get back in front of this storm cell.

This storm had been moving about 15 mph to the north / northeast, now she had picked up steam and was cruising about 35 mph with torrential rain and dime to quarter sized hail.

I proceed due north and I couldn't get out of the heavy rain bans, until I got back just to the south of Kearney Nebraska....

This storm cell 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!

Storm Chasing: Holdrege Nebraska Supercell 035 by NebraskaSC

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.

Supercell #3

Hwy 6 westbound to Holdrege Nebraska. Where I encountered this Monster Supercell just to the west of Holdrege Nebraska.

Nicely defined structure on this storm cell as it crested almost due east towards my location.

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!!!

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.

Back to Hwy 6, then north.. Had to catch up to the storm. I did but it was weakening, but still a photographic treat.

Hwy 2 Bound Northwest...

Boiling afternoon temps... was a relief when the the cloud cover finally covered the sun that afternoon. From about 103 to 85 was a welcomed relief. I would be in the thick of it soon.

This monstrous storm system was creeping in from the northwest. As I got closer, or as it approached... it was from horizon to horizon.

Well... It's a Start...

Mother Nature only came to play in our area for a very short time. Was expecting a much better scenario than just 1 picture. Though I know the hype when it comes to severe storms. I'll be patient. My time is coming!

So my first capture of 2022!

Better than Nothing!

061617 - Eastern Nebraska Moderate Risk Chase Day by NebraskaSC

Not many chase days in the month of June 2017, as this day turned out way better than expected. You never know what you might encounter on a decent moderate risk day which was mostly on the eastern side of Nebraska and Western Iowa.

These first cells were moving from the north to the south as I encountered them just to the east of Schuyler Nebraska. I didn't have to to travel to western Iowa as all the action stayed in eastern Nebraska that day. It was mostly an HP mess for most of the ride till then.

Some decent structure out in front of this cell, so you know I what I was doing!

Unpacked and gear out close to home as a non severe thunderstorm approached from the due south of Kearney Nebraska. Just on the outskirts of the city just to the east of Kearney High school .

A few pics that didn't make it to my Flickr Photostream in 2020. So I'm adding them now.

I do so much sky photography and at that time of year when I take these, they sometimes get lost within the fold. So at the end of each year I find a few that are worthy of being posted!
