Good storm cells were developing just to my southwest around 3:00am Working... Had all my responsibilities done for the evening... Had my camera equipment in the truck from chasing that afternoon. Grabbed my camera, sandbag, and tripod and headed out to the back of the buildings.
Got a few good shots of the incoming shelf cloud. Wish I wasn't working. There was incredible structure further west that I could see. Can't complain though, I was at work, taking snaps of storms... I was a happy camper!

There were severe thunderstorm warnings out that evening, for counties to the south and southwest. No tornadic cells that evening even though we did have some that afternoon (check this album for pics Click Here). We were just to have strong winds and possibility of quarter sized hail. I was prepared for anything.
Late August Nebraska night storms can be strong, and severe, and this was one of them. As I was waiting for the second batch of strong storms to roll though into our neck of the woods. This outflow dominate storm slid into southwest Buffalo County shortly before midnight. Intense cc & cg lightning firing off every few seconds.
Had to find a good place on the outskirts of western Kearney. Camera equipment ready, a few city lights painting the corn field out in front of me, I wasn't about miss this opportunity to get these phenomenal shelf cloud captures!

Just a few minutes after the first wall cloud, we had another form to to the northeast of Osborne Kansas. Almost a 1/2 mile from our first location. Can you say right place right time. Though neither of these put down a funnel it was getting my blood a pumping!

We had planned it out perfectly. Just out in front of these cells before the NWS threw a warning on this supercell. We didn't have much time though as it was producing golf ball sized hail just to the west of our location.

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

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!

Knowing about the moderate risk of severe storms on the eastern side of Colorado and the western side of Nebraska, I had planned out the day perfectly to intercept the back side of the cells about 4pm Mountain time.
Now into Yuma County Colorado, this was when all the action began. Tornado warning was in effect just a few miles north of Hwy 34 and I had a good sight on the backend of this developing severe storm.
From Fort Morgan Colorado via Hwy 34/6 back to Nebraska was my route back behind the developing cells. To honestly say... I wasn't disappointed. The open cloudscapes of Colorado are a photographers dream.

In position to watch the storm develop to the west and southwest. I had got to one of my open spaces that had quick access to the north if I had to leave fast.
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!

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!

Southwest of of Overton Nebraska...
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!

Late May 2018, Nebraska, south central to be correct. Some good moisture from the Gulf, with the normal heating of the day can produce these small pulse cells. Though not enough sheer to make any of these severe enough to produce any type of tornadic storm.
With no serious storms to chase.... doesn't mean there is nothing picturesque to take. Cells were forming out to my northeast to the southeast. No matter where I pointed my lens that afternoon, there was some incredible stormscapes to take.

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.
Storm warnings for cells in western Dawson county promoted me to position myself to the south of Ansley. Found my favorite road called Box Elder and waited. Impressive Hail Core and developing shelf cloud was just to good to pass up!

First moderate risk day of the year out in Western Nebraska. We decided to head out early to catch the action.
Was trying to Twitch Stream (streaming link down below) our chase this day, though my HD camera decided otherwise. Had many technical glitches that afternoon and I'm happy mishaps happen on the first chase of the year. Prepares the next adventure without failure.
First storm erupted north of Grant Nebraska but I was messing around with the live feed and didn't take any snaps... put the problems aside and moved north to Ogallala Nebraska to catch this dying cell.
Not many pics in this set but was caught was worth every second to get out of the house for a few hours!

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!

Found the perfect spot just north of Norton Kansas. Got the gear ready as a severe thunderstorm warning was just issued.
I had positioned myself perfectly as everything that was severe was heading right into my direction to the southeast.
The outflow boundary had increased in size and strength. Definitely visible... It was go time and I was taking snaps like a madman!

Still Waiting....
I think this has been the longest I have waited for a severe storm in the past 30 years. Geez....
This storm developed & was severe warned out in the western counties of Nebraska. Of course as soon as it hits the South Central Nebraska Weather Bubble... It died out.
But Still... A Dying Thunderstorm & the Last light of the Day... I couldn't resist!

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!

Mother Nature gave me the chance to get some of my best images for 2014.
This supercell was at first a very slow mover moving southeast about 9-10mph before it even reached northern Buffalo County. I had to work late and I was considering not to even go out. Though as most of you know, I couldn't resist.
Some of the best shot of the year for me in this set. Most of these captures were north of Odessa Nebraska US, and some in the city limits of Kearney,

August 17, 2014 - Riverdale Nebraska US
Mid August 2014.... A very hot & humid Sunday afternoon. With only a %30 chance of storms developing, we had a chance for a severe weather to develop. Central & South Central Nebraska were due for a good August Storm.
Conditions were just right for storms to brew. Right after 4pm CDT, northern Buffalo County (just north of my location) was getting hammered with 2'" diameter hail. This storm was on a direct course to skim just to the north of the city.
As I got into position, moved a few miles north to Riverdale Nebraska to watch this storm move into the area. Just the beginning of this storm was photogenic . Talk about Ominous... This instability before the storm was insane. Huge mammatus cloud cluster above this approaching shelf cloud. Truly foreboding cloud structure as it creased ever so closer.

Remastered Series.
Another Freak Picturesque Nebraska July Thunderstorm. A True Photographic Storm Monster. Wicked good striations, and the scuds on the bottom of the outflow line looked like teeth.
Another Classic Outflow Dominate Nebraska Thunderstorm! 2011 Month of July has simply been over the top for storm photography. This was one of my best sets for the year.
Just to note...
My old Nikon D50 had some major issues.
Internal Lens was dirty.
It had been knocked over by the wind several times.
Had some permanent internal flares.
Tons of noise in the original captures. A few are little blurry due to the 45-50+ mph outflow winds. I couldn't keep the camera steady. Every pic here was worth it though!
It took long time to rework these images....
True Storm Chasing Eye Candy!
A Nebraska Ground Scraper!

NWS had the severe weather events for that day were to be about 200 miles to the east of south central Nebraska. Though we still had a risk of severe weather, but with the 100 Temps and lots of moisture to work with... it was bound to happen.
We were in front of the hail core and it moved right on top of us again. We shifted again to the east to get the final moments of this dying supercell. The final light of the day and the perfect position gave us some incredible colors!
This was simply the best structured cell that I have caught up this season for tornadic activity. This cell did not produce a tornado, but it had rotation, hail, and torrential rain. Eye Candy for the Storm Chaser in mind....

Now back in South Central Nebraska... We were about to experience the strongest outflow boundary of the year. 110-120 mph winds were accompanied by this super strong beast. Tons of cloud to cloud lightning and beautiful arcus shelf cloud structure was beautiful view as she approached from the southwest.
Now moving almost directly due east we had to jimmy south to Alma Nebraska from Hwy 89 to get back in front of this monster. Believe it or not, the calm before the storm was evident here. No wind until the shelf came over our heads and then we got hit hard. Luckily we had gear already prepped and put away as headed north as soon as this hit our location.
Though you know me... I waited till the very last second to get these captures!

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

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....

Under the base of this storm, we already has meso detection. TVS markers were on radar and it was moving directly to Ogallala Nebraska.
We got there on time and stopped right off of the interstate at a gas station with the best view.
This highly photographic supercell was maturing. But at this moment... This storm decided to weaken just a bit as we waited for this cell to produced a nader. Lost the TVS marker so we didn't stay long and packed the gear and headed south towards Grant Nebraska.

Its was a dry summer... Though hot and humid, storms were few and far between at the end of July 2016 in South Central Nebraska.
Now don't get me wrong... Nebraska had its fair share of severe weather this time of the year. Though all of it was either west or east of Central Nebraska. Or simply out of my chasing range.
Any storms that came within our vicinity would die and then rebuild east of my location. I work overnights so chasing the night storms this year were not in my or mother natures plans.
So when I had any opportunity to catch that perfect light, like this particular evening , I couldn't have asked for a better scenario of light and storm. I was just happy to get these captures!!!
A magical evening of Light and Storm....

I hand a phenomenal day of storm chasing in Nebraska on this day. A western Nebraska severe weather event, with moderate risk of tornadoes..
A few miles north of Sidney, on Highway 385, I finally got into a safe position to get some nice captures. Pointing my camera to the due west, another wall cloud was trying for form.

Late evening and storms were coming up due south out of North Central Kansas that evening. Not much development until it developed just south of Kearney Nebraska.
Some intense CG's with lots of crystal clear lightning! Continues Forked and Electrified Cloud to Ground lightning Strikes... It was an impressive night for storm photography!

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!

This is PART 1
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!

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!

Severe Warnings popped up for this lone cell by Oconto Nebraska with a nice TVS marker just south of the city. It was my calling to get my gear together and make a small jaunt north on Hwy 2 from Kearney Nebraska. This storm was to be in the Miller Nebraska (northwest of Kearney) area within the hour and I wasn't going to miss this show when its this close to home.
No other chasers on this storm and it was just this lone thunderstorm and me! Beautiful LP structure with clearly visible rotation on this storms' time lapse. Couldn't have asked for a better landscape setup with the pure flatness of northern part of South Central Nebraska.
Storm died out as this storm cell scooted almost directly due east it still had some luster left in her and she was showing off. Beautiful billowing thunderheads to end this chase day!

Mid May ... 2024
Dramatic storm clouds gather in a tumultuous sky as they reflect on the calm waters of a lake below. The contrast between the dark, threatening clouds and the pockets of warm sunlight near the horizon creates a scene filled with tension and natural beauty.

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!

It's Nebraska ... This our go time for severe weather & she didn't disappoint. This was the beginning of a 3 day severe weather event in South Central Nebraska.
Now my attention was the cell that was coming right at my location. In fact there were 2 cells. I was centered on this one in the beginning due to it had a severe warning on it. Both cells would eventually be severe warned.
Though this had some incredible photogenic storm structure. It had some minor rotation with this. It had my interest.

It was my last hurrah for 2017.
After a small delay of light and shadow....
I ventured south on Hwy 283 deep in the mouth of madness. Now south of Edmond Kansas, I was barley staying in front of ... the front.
This already had a tornado warning on it and it was detected just a few miles to my west. So safety first was mind the most... Right place, right time was not the situation that afternoon as I never did see a nader.
Though, over the next 2 hours or so I would capture some of mother natures best, in the heart of Kansas.

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!
I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best severe weather photography to date...
I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.
Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.
In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.

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!

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.
