We had packed up and parted ways that evening. It would be about another 2 hours before the storm to the south would be in the area we chose for that afternoon. We were not set up for night chasing that day and so we called it a night.
These storms were dying on the way north as we tagged along side. Nice rays with cloudbase to end this day's chase!

A few hours before I had to work. Just enough time to get a few captures of this incoming severe warned thunderstorm.
I didn't have the best light, and these captures didn't come out the way I wanted. But I'm going to post a few anyways.
It was after sunset and night was cresting in. This severe storm was developing out in western Nebraska had moved into eastern Dawson County, and was now building strength and was entering western Buffalo county.
This storm had some incredible defined outflow. A sweet late May Nebraska shelf cloud.

Happy that our storm season has started. There are others like myself that waiting, planning, wanting the smell of the rain, to feel the wind blowing against your face, and just the welcoming of spring to plains of Nebraska. I truly wasn't disappointed.
Sun had set, and new cells developing in North Central Kansas had moved into South Central Nebraska. We could have chased the cells north of us, but we had made the right decision to pass and intercept the cells to the southwest.
We moved south of Aurora Nebraska to intercept the cells that had just been issued severe thunderstorm warnings. We intentionally positioned ourselves out in front of the rapidly growing cells.
It was a spectacular finish of that days storm chase with a some phenomenal night captures!

I didn't get many snaps, but I did have a few opportunities.
I had moved south to intercept the cell that still had a tor warning on it. Though it had lost size and strength it was still producing a decent wall cloud.

Lots of action that afternoon, but all of the tornadic parts of these storms were to stay south in Arkansas. Didn't stop us at all that day. I was on the hunt, and we were in for some good severe weather treats that afternoon.
Heading south to get to the next forming storm cell. I paused for a second. My sis luvs Crepuscular Rays. Had to get a few snaps...

Counting on some photographic opportunities on this day since I've missed out on the past few. I was lucky enough to have one nice storm cell just west of our location.
Caught up with the end of the storm where I knew there would be something good to get... A nice mammatus cluster on the back end of this storm as it exited to the northeast.

On the northern border of Kansas I patiently awaited the last severe cells that I could chase in 2018. I was in position for another fantastic chase day. No nader... but I had some excellent structure before she went outflow dominant east of Smith Center Kansas. It was definitely worth my time that afternoon. (BTW I spelled dominant wrong in the video...lol)

Day 2 of chasing the plains of Wyoming. With a good chance of seeing what we came for. We had plans in place to be in position early to catch that's days first round of severe storms in Central Wyoming.
Moving west via Hwy 26 through Torrington, Lingle, Fort Laramie, Guernsey, then north on I-25 to Glendo where we would stop to watch the scudnado form and not produce.
Packed the gear up after this event and moved south to be ahead of part 2 of that afternoon and evenings cells that were to develop shortly after this first event.
After the jaunt south to Pine Bluff Wyoming we headed to Bushnell Nebraska. About 15 miles from Pine Bluff Wyoming to watch this next storm build and eventually move west into Nebraska. We didn't want to be under the base of this storm due to the hail core. So we backed off and awaited the storm to develop right at sunset!

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

This slow moving storm cell was perfect. This strong, violent, night beast was producing dangerous cloud to ground lightning.
We had met up with some other local chases and now were sitting just to the east of Red Cloud Nebraska.
Right under the base of this storm, I was finally in position to capture some incredible lightning. Some of my best night captures of 2016

Early severe weather season had officially started. Severe Storms and the end of March in south central Nebraska and early April 2013 make this one of the earliest years we have had severe weather. If the conditions are right severe weather can happen really any time of the year here.
Next storm was forming to the south but it had pushed east of my location. Gathered my items and did the same. Went east. Now south of the I-80 / Minden interchange about 4 miles or so I had a good view of this build storm as it approached from the southwest.
As the storm to the northeast was exiting the area... I was now able to focus on the storm to my southwest. It had gained some steam over the past 15 mins and it was building.
Shelf cloud with a nice rain foot on the back end of this storm.

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!

That last storm was moving extremely fast... 35+ knots. We had tried to stay ahead of the storm as we moved east but wasn't expecting the morning traffic to be that bad... it was. Plus this first storm dropped some torrential downpours. Causing some difficult if not impassible flooding situations as we moved due south.
Just south of Shelby Nebraska.... We were approaching the last severe thunderstorm of the morning.

Late March ... 2024
Just to the east of Beaver City Nebraska we encounter of first of many to come storms of 2024...
A menacing storm cloud looms over the plains, showing signs of a heavy rain or potential severe weather about to strike. Dark, swirling clouds dominate the sky, while a dirt road stretches into the distance, suggesting a vast, open landscape susceptible to extreme weather.
Not may pics to display due to I was driving & when I wasn't I was playing with some new tech. What I did capture was of course right what I was looking for.

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!

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!

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.
Watching the storms they were build and moving north northeast and I didn't want to enter the base of this storm, I just wanted to get along side it to get the best pics in front of the storm. I wasn't disappointed. Even though this cell just went out of the severe warning, the front of this cell was majestic and I wasn't about to leave. Camera in hand I did my thing....
Storm warnings we up again for cells to the west of Dawson county, so I had about a 1/2 hour before I had to head back west to get into position for the next cells.

Late August and I wasn't chasing this day... In fact I was preparing to head out to the east coast to catch up with Hurricane Dorian.
Just few blocks from my home here in Kearney Nebraska with no warnings issued this was creaping in from the west northwest. This thunderstorm didn't become severe until it passed over the city of Kearney. But as it approached... the sky was talking and I was listening...
I couldn't resist! With camera in hand I was out to capture a few hundred pics of what was in front of me. A wicked good photographic Nebraska stormscapes and some epic Nebraska Thunderheads!

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!

on Flickr Click Here
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.

We gathered out gear and headed back to Grant Nebraska then south to Imperial. Destination was Hwy 6 and to get far enough south to get back in front of this storm.
We had 4 TVS (Indicated Rotation via Radar) on our way through Grant Nebraska and then to Imperial.
Beleive me when I say it was nasty to drive though it was. Huge hail and wind that almost blew us off the road more than once. But we eventually made it back out in front of the storm cell and headed to Hamlet Nebraska for another Tornado Warning.
What we witnessed was epic!

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!

Storm Chasing Video from afternoon on Flickr Click Here
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!

"Stacked Plates" is storm chasers jargon for us to describe a strongly striated mesocyclone! Oh this was a B E A U T Y!
Late August 2011. This was a LP (Low Precip) Storm, and she didn't drop an ounce of rain. If anything did come down it evaporated before it hit the ground. It was so damn hot and humid and was just happy the sun was blocked out by the clouds and then this came along. Along with the severe warning it had on it a few counties north of my location as it moved south.
You can clearly see the mid-level inflow bands. Better known as striations. These were so well defined it was jaw dropping!
When the storm got close enough I couldn't really see or verify a wall cloud of any type. We had a few lowerings, but nothing significant to get me to report it. So I really can't call this a supercell. But it sure was fun one to witness!

Out of the hospital and some time behind me to heal. With my wife's permission I was allowed to enjoy a few more chase days before the storm season ended. We get this small opportunity in the month of September for severe weather and I wasn't going to miss a beat.
I moved a few miles south, right in front of the cell as it approached from the southwest. It would eventually skirt just south of Kearney and then loose its steam for development. Dying out about 20 miles to my northwest by Gibbon Nebraska
Though I was in position to capture some excellent rotation on this cell.... Close to home and I was in the zone for some credible severe storm photography!

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

July came in with a Bang! Sweet storm setup with small tornado potential this day. We knew before we went that this would be an outflow dominate storm. A shelf cloud that stretched all the way from South Dakota into Kansas. 286 Miles long as we intercepted this beast storm about 8:15pm near Beaver City Nebraska for starters.
For some odd reason my Canon T3i overheated this late evening so I wasn't able to get all the pics that wanted from this day. With that being said, I have limited photos from this event.
Though what we did capture was simply Storm Chasing Eye Candy! High instability with a huge mammatus field stretching from horizon to horizon. One of the best photographic shelf clouds of the 2020 season.
Best thing was, we got out in front of it again by Alma Nebraska... Surreal!
With pics from my smartphone and some video help from Myles Nelson I was able to put this vid together! Took a few weeks but the end result is of course ....Epic! Storm Chasing out in the plains of South Central Nebraska to kick off the month of July was simply a hoot!

Happy that our storm season has started. There are others like myself that waiting, planning, wanting the smell of the rain, to feel the wind blowing against your face, and just the welcoming of spring to plains of Nebraska. I truly wasn't disappointed.
Sun had set, and new cells developing in North Central Kansas had moved into South Central Nebraska. We could have chased the cells north of us, but we had made the right decision to pass and intercept the cells to the southwest.
We moved south of Aurora Nebraska to intercept the cells that had just been issued severe thunderstorm warnings. We intentionally positioned ourselves out in front of the rapidly growing cells.
It was a spectacular finish of that days storm chase with a some phenomenal night captures!

*** 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..

Approaching mid August in Nebraska, and the storms will soon be coming to an end. But not this evening....
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!

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!

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!

4th night in a row of Severe weather in South Central Nebraska. Had a late start to this overnight adventure but I had a bust of a afternoon. I wasn't going to go away tonight empty handed.
Storms were forming and moving due east, had to get north of the storm as it was building. Perfect time to get some best night captures of the season!
