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!

Late May ... 2024
A dramatic sky featuring a powerful storm front dominates the horizon, blending dark, ominous clouds with vibrant, warm hues from the setting sun. The scene is set over a quiet rural landscape with a distant road and a few scattered trees.

Just to the west of Odessa Nebraska...
This cell was really taking good shape. It was tightening with visible rotation. Plus with both storms now centering in on my location, I had to either get packed up and move to another location farther south or stay here just take in the show.
The road network isn't the best for making fast moves south due to the Interstate & Platte River less than 3 miles to my south. Next exit was about 4 miles to my west & that would have put be right under this storm.
The finial decision was easy. I was already set up & was going to stay the course til it forced me to leave.

Aggressive late May supercell developing out in the northern plains of Kansas. Now this was creap'n about 30 mph to the east south east as I caught up to from the north via Hwy 24. Just to the north of Osborne Kansas.
Beautiful definition of this storm. Structure was what I was after that day. Oh, did I get some... and then some!

Wasn't looking forward to the 3 hour drive back home. What was left of the storm was a HP mess. I sat back for about 30 minutes and let the rain push east. After I got my bearings, I was headed east.
Sun was setting. I was under the perfect light conditions. Back side of the storm, via Hwy 6/34. I couldn't have asked a better photographic opportunity.

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.
Some of best of captures in this set to come for 2015.

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.

September was still hot & humid within the wide open plains of Nebraska. The drought this time of year is normal. The heat is not. Was lucky to get this lone storm that afternoon.
The winding down of the storm season is right on time. We did have a few night storms with some good lighting. But my time is limited this time of year. Was only able to get this event.
A photogenic storm was what I need & what was received that afternoon. It was the last storm that I chased for 2022.
Thanks for Watching & Supporting my Photography here on Flickr!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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!

Working on Spring projects with the wife. Enjoying our day together. Plans were made & I had no plans for chasing any storms even if they form.
Honestly, My time with family succeeds any other activity. I knew there were storms to the south of us this day. But again it was family time. I didn't even look on radar.
Finished our projects & went out to the front of the house and my jaw dropped!!! Literally in front of me this incredible updraft on a NON-severe warned storm. This had no warning on it, and I was dumbfounded. Asked... Wife said go get'm Tiger... Rest is History.
Storm Chasing is not always about catching a Tornado. This storm cell was already in its dying stages... Finished off this afternoon with some up close and personal shots of this dying thunderstorm!

It's what best describes the next month and 1/2 here in south central Nebraska. Not many good storms to chase. The dry season came early, which is laughable, because we didn't get any spring storms this year either. I did get one good photographic beast in early July but that series of images is ... coming soon!!!

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.

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

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.

I had a few hours left before I had to be at work. Sun was setting and I made my choice to follow this storm cell north... or should I say catch up to this storm again. It had significantly gained speed & strength, and I was no longer in good position for storm pics.
I had to back track to Lexington, then north on Hwy 283. Stopping briefly, capture these incredible mammatus clouds forming in front of the storm. I was under the base of this developing cell and it was producing some incredible Nebraska Skyscapes!

Finally severe thunderstorms moved into South Central Nebraska for the first time this year. That was a looooong wait. Yes the rest of the state has seen its fair share of this but my home turf has seen very little in 2023. Rain Yes, Severe Weather No...
So I was prepared... Not much for severity except for the small hail the winds. We had a brief, and I mean brief wall cloud form to the north of the city.
*** Note
Due to my severe back injury in May... I've had to stay local this year in case I have issues. They have happened recently & I sure don't want to be 500 miles from home when my back decides to flare up. Things have happen recently which I have no control over. So I'm playing it safe with my health in 2023. Chasing only local storms this year.
To answer some of your PM questions of why I'm not chasing storms out of my local area. Have had to work on keeping healthy so I can go out & do what I do best.

It was our first photographic storm of 2020. Usually in April I've been out in years past chasing the storms several times by now. But due to the Covid19 Pandemic and Old Man Winter sticking around way to long. This so called 2020, beginning of our storm season has been non fruitful for us weather observers in South Central Nebraska, let alone the state. But this is all going to change over for us fast here and soon we will be in the midst of our severe weather season.
It was good to get out. As I for one have been staying home and doing my part in stay safe and healthy. Plan on staying that way. Though cabin fever overcame my need to stay home. Prepping correctly. We made a small and safe jaunt to North Platte Nebraska to get out first taste of some Nebraska Thunderstorms....

A few kewl cloudscapes presented itself as I was getting my bearings on what cells to follow since nothing was severe.
Storm cells were redeveloping to my southwest but I only had a few hours till I had to work. I would eventually head east then back to Hwy 136 west...
A few final surreal shots from that evening's drive back home. There is no place like Nebraska!

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 right 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!

I had forgotten about this set of images... To be truthful, I also found this micro SD card on the floor of my truck about a week ago. Luckily I didn't vacuum it up after the snowstorm...
Went all the way out to Western Nebraska for this chase day. Excellent setup for severe weather on the Nebraska Colorado Border. Though I didn't plan it out correctly to say the least. My timing was off (when does that happen???) when trying to catch this batch of storm cells. Not to be disappointed EVER. I make the most of what's coming my way. If it's photogenic, you know I'll be taking snaps.
Hence my drive home from a bust chase day. Happy I am to find this card a with a few gems on it. My last imagery of 2022.

This set of images is what I live for... Those epic moments when you finally hunted/found what your looking for. It does take a lot of patience to storm chase. The waiting, the planning, the doing. But the rewards at the end are priceless. My antlers on the wall.
Now for some storm chasers... the Holy Grail of Storm chasing is a Tornado. But not for me. It is events like this that give the full definition of Storm Chasing. It really what storm chasing Eye Candy is all about! It is the "Why" or the understanding of why I do this!
One the edge of this Nebraska Supercell I felt the AWE of Mother Nature!
Surreal!
Epic
Awesome!

So far....
After that epic afternoon in Wyoming catching that Nader... We had cells that were moving into Western Nebraska via Kimball County, and we were way to far away to catch up to from the south.
We had to get to Scottsbluff to intercept these next 2 cells that were merging and would go on to produce a tornado south of Scottsbluff. No speeding and safely getting us to the east of Scottsbluff towards the city of Minatar Nebraska.
Pointing my camera to the southwest, I decided to get some incredible panoramic views of this tornadic supercell.

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!

Supercell storm clouds gather ominously over an open road, with a striking contrast between the dark sky and the warm glow of a distant sunset. Puffy, mammatus clouds hang low, creating a dramatic and intense atmosphere.

Watch the Video from that evenings final pics of Sunset & Mammatus Clouds from August 13, 2019 on Flickr Click Here
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!

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.

Had to find a better place due to where the storm was coming in from. I had reposition myself right next to the High School football field. Long extended ditch that has a small roadway. Couldn't have asked for a better open sky than this.
This storm was moving rather slowly about 10 mph to the due north almost northwest. Outflow dominate, simply meaning this nice outflow. A shelf cloud on the outer rim of this storm as it approached. B E A U T I F U L!

I've always been told, that rainbows are special and are rare indeed. I have to believe that this is true. You simply have have to be at the right place at the right time. I was this particular day!
Soundbound on Hwy 69. Just on the outer edge of this southward moving storm. The sun was peaking through, and there wasn't a soul in either direction. Pulled over to capture a few examples of Nebraska's Majestic Nature!

Storm Chasing Video from that Night on Flickr Click Here
The day wasn't over. Went home downloaded all the images video & charging all the equipment...
Late evening... about 10:30pm ish I had alerts set up for counties to my north just in case we had storms develop. Oh they did...
Weather Alert alarms were blasting warnings. Grabbed my gear and caught this crystal clear nighttime supercell off to the northeast of Kearney.
All those storms from earlier that afternoon made the sky crystal clear & perfect. Cloud to cloud ⚡ was just popping out of these thunderheads. It was the perfect opportunity to do what I do best!

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.

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!

Late May ... 2024
A vast field stretches into the horizon under a dramatic sky, with storm clouds dominating the scene and warm, vibrant colors illuminating the edges. The interplay of light and shadow creates a striking contrast that highlights the approaching weather event.

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!

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.

A massive, swirling supercell storm cloud looms over a flat rural landscape, casting dramatic shadows and creating a vivid contrast against the fields below. The sky is a mix of dark gray and lighter hues near the horizon, possibly indicating an approaching storm.

Lost the last light of the day... Slide back into the city limits to have the city lights paint the sky. Best way to get the low level light to work for me!
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.

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.

The storm chasing day was coming to a close. I had a few hours drive back home and I had to leave a little early to make sure I made it back before I had to work.
Just a few miles south of York Nebraska, these rebuilding storms cells were just calling me to stop and get a few snaps.
