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.

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!

South Central Nebraska, early May 2012. No chasing this day due to work late. Afternoon Storms were predicted that afternoon & evening. Slow movers they were to be.

 

Off work & I was in luck. The dryline had stalled right over south central Nebraska that afternoon & the explosion of billowing thunderheads erupted. Billowing picturesque Thunderheads. Some of the most photogenic cells I caught in 2012.

 

Wicked Photogenic Severe Storms developing just to my east and & another batch of developing severe storms right over my head & moving the northeast. What a afternoon of Light & Severe Storms... Click Click Click!!!!

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.

Late August here in Nebraska. I usually would be chasing out in Western Nebraska Eastern Colorado this time of year. Mother Nature made it dry as a desert here. Record Heat & drought in 2022 on the plains of Nebraska. This was the ONLY storm that came into range for the whole month.

 

Gear was prepped & ready for a month....I was prepared that afternoon. A short jaunt to my east and then north. Irrigated Corn this time of year here is about 14 feet & it will be ready for harvest soon.

 

Had to find a good location where there was no tall corn. Found a hill with a perfect view. Lucky to find an open view with all that corn!

 

Though this didn't produce a tornado. Really good definition of a rotation wall cloud under this supercell. Glad I went out that day to capture these phenomenal snaps!

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....

Always good storm chasing stories to tell about my weather adventures in 2014.

 

Days right after my knee operated on... Home from the hospital & I definitely wasn't supposed to be out and about. Knee was almost in a cast and I wasn't supposed to be doing anything to aggravate the situation. Though my quest for severe weather never ends and I wasn't going to miss another possible chase especially when its in my backyard. This storm was going to be a photogenic monster... Decision was made & off I went.

 

Personal Note *** On the original set Back in 2014 I had use the free Avery photo editor here Flickr and it wasn't the best but I had no prior knowledge of editing them back then. Only shot in .jpg format and I didn't do the best by over coloring and over saturation. Was very under experienced in photo editing back then.

 

This is the original set of captures from this day. There are some here that are edited but most of them are not altered here. Another epic set of thunderstorm captures from South Central Nebraska.

 

By going out ... I paid for it. Soreness without relief for a few days after this shoot. Knee after the surgery was super sore with lots of swelling. All worth it when it comes to what epic views I caught storm chasing on that particular day!

The outer layers of this storm were very interesting to watch... Slowly moving into the area. Shape size & form were rare & unique for this storm. Undulatus Asperatus cloud types right before the base of this storm moved in.

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, as the sky was again talking to me. Best of all this was going to be a local chase day.

 

The storm cell I was chasing most of the day had weakened and the boundary for severe weather was to my west. I had to get north and east via Hwy 36. Ended up parked just south of Phillips Nebraska.

 

This new cell had warnings on it as I was approaching from the east. Now with good rotation detected on this side of the storm. Building, and getting wound up, this storm meant business.

 

I was in the perfect position to capture another severe weather photographic treat....

Now a Nebraska Supercell Monster... 3 inch hail now with this storm. Thank God I got out of the way... 3rd windshield already this year. Didn't want to replace a 4th!

 

There was rotation on the back end of this cell, you can clearly see on this base! But we never did get a nader out of this. Pure Storm Chasing Eye Candy!!!

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 approaching 12 hours chasing locally that day. Now over 800 captures from that afternoon. I have to admit I was tired...

 

It didn't make a difference... if it was photographic I was bound to stay out long enough to get a few good shots of the newly developing storms to our southwest. They were firing off a ton of cloud to cloud lighting.

 

I was only a few blocks from home, so I deiced to stick around to end this storm chasing day in a great way.

On the open plains of Nebraska...

 

August was a GEM month for severe storm structure. Folks... I didn't miss a beat.

 

Pure Eye Candy this one is. Open air supercells developing right as the dry line passed over us in South Central Nebraska.

 

I wasn't going to get underneath this one though it was close. I could have chased it, but I wanted to get the structure that day. Oh I got what I came for!

 

I had planned accordingly. Knowing that the storm was going to pass as it rapidly developed to the due east. I waited for bit under the hail core before I got into position to capture this storm.

 

Building Billowing Beautiful updrafts on the back side of this storm were memorizing. Perfect Supercell structure.

The Hunter becomes the Hunted...

 

(The Good)

Beautiful Structure with this cell. Luv' the teeth it was producing as was gaining strength. This is what I live for... Its one of the main reasons why I chase.

 

(The Bad)

Though at this time I didn't know that the stormcell to my northwest (which we cannot see here this is pointed southwest) was starting to merge with this cell. It would eventually overtake me, even moving due east...believe me when I say it was nasty... it was

 

Tornadic, strong, building, maturing... I sure was at the right place at the right time. (This doesn't usually happen eh) One cannot get these incredible close up shots... just that...up close and personal without being there!!!

 

@ This time... some of my best storm photography for 2018!

A 4 1/2 hour drive from Nebraska to Northwest Missouri. Picked up my big sis and we were off to Storm Chase that afternoon in Southwest Iowa with a Moderate Risk of Severe Weather.

 

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.

 

Still nothing of any severity, though we had warning on the cells just to the south of my location. The cells that we were following proceeded north at a fast pace. Unable to keep up or pace with them we decided to wait for the next cells to cycle and build to our southeast. We were in luck as we were under the next cells that had went severe...

 

As this cell was right overhead, the sunset peaking through the storm clouds was giving off some incredible light. A few shots to capture the moment...

 

Some Cloud Pareidolia.. Check out the Angel playing a flute on the left side... and the old man in the storm on the right side looking down at us... lol

This would be the Tornado Day... and as little as we have had for storms I wasn't going to risk the chance of not being out that afternoon and evening. Of course I wouldn't be feeling the best, but of course I'm a trooper and if there are storms I'm there... sick or not sick.

 

Gussied up the dredge and grabbed my chase partner for that day and we headed south. Not to know what to expect as we had a high risk for tornadoes that afternoon. This was the first severe cell of the day. It would not be the last...

I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had missed a few of the other tornados that afternoon in Northern Yuma County. Coming from south to north I had to position myself correctly. Chaser Convergence was also in full swing so there were not may open areas to choose from.

 

For best pics of a Tornado and to be safe about it a storm such as this was moving North by Northeast... strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... Behind the RFD (Rear Flank Downdraft) It's all about timing, and I honestly didn't think it would produce a tornado til it was well west of my location. That was going to be the wrong guess... Though when I went due north of Wray I had a good viewing point but not in the safest location as you see.

 

I got lucky this day as...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.

 

Staying as safe as I could I wouldn't bail til it was about a mile away then I would head north again to a safer / better viewing position.

These are truly My Best Lightning Captures to date!

 

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 Gut 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.. lol

Hot, Humid and Thunder Approaches. Nice thunderstorm cell just to the north of Broken Bow was sliding south into South Central Nebraska.

 

Gear packed and ready rumble, I slid north via Hwy 10, which was under construction. I didn't remember this when I left that afternoon and it would eventually push me out to the country roads of Northern Buffalo County Nebraska.

 

Severe warned and producing 3 inch hail. Severe winds were also a factor. It was a good photogenic storm to capture.

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.

 

Cresting strong storm cells now building just to the southwest of us. Yes they were severe, but nothing tornadic. We had strong wind gust causing gustnados, and some good hail.

 

I wasn't about to give up shop. I know for a fact that these are the perfect photographic opportunities with sun just about set. I couldn't resist. Plastic covering my camera, coat on and I was snapping away!

I was late to the game on this one after the mesoscale discussion had everything to my east and models had cells developing into northern Kansas. I took the risk and missed out on the eastern Nebraska severe weather that afternoon.

 

Though I was late I wasn't out of the game as I approached from the south back into Nebraska and got into position for the severe warned cells that had just produced a tornado 25 mins before my arrival to my north. Excellent structure as the cells moved to the due south... I was in for a supercell photographic treat!

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!

Always good storm chasing stories to tell about my weather adventures in 2014.

 

Days right after my knee replacement... Home from the hospital & I definitely wasn't supposed to be out and about. Knee was almost in a cast and I wasn't supposed to be doing anything to aggravate the situation. Though my quest for severe weather never ends and I wasn't going to miss another possible chase especially when its in my backyard. This storm was going to be a photogenic monster... Decision was made & off I went.

 

I wasn't out for long as the storm has now passed over to the north of the city. Wasn't the wisest of ideas to go out. I headed back home & as I pulled into the drive, the backside edge of the updraft had this incredible mammatus display. It was just a bit north of the city & I had a phenomenal view of this storm as it passed almost directly overhead. Sunlight that was cresting against this was simply incredible. So much detail in these mammatus clouds I couldn't quit taking snaps.

 

Personal Note *** On the original set Back in 2014 I had use the free Avery photo editor here Flickr and it wasn't the best but I had no prior knowledge of editing them back then. Only shot in .jpg format and I didn't do the best by over coloring and over saturation. Was very under experienced in photo editing back then.

 

Another epic set of thunderstorm captures from South Central Nebraska remastered through Lightroom and Photoshop. Though I paid for it with my knee just being replaced. I was super sore and the swelling was unreal a few days after this event. All worth it when it comes to what epic views I caught storm chasing on that particular day!

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.

2023 sure has had a strange weather pattern. Almost a whole month late to our severe weather season here in south central Nebraska. Little would I know that coming weeks I will find what I've been seeking...

 

This was the first severe storm with a warning to come into play. In actuality there were 2 storms. This first storm was really defined & had some good visual rotation. The storm behind it with the intense hail core would steal all of this first storm's energy....

 

Supercell in play... what an epic view this storm had to offer!!!

There are certain days in the month of June that we can have several rounds of severe weather. We get break in-between, but I'm luv'n every minute of it.

 

Severe Thunderstorm Warnings went out about 9pm for Buffalo County. The warnings were late, as the storms started to form right on top of us. Repeated ... Tons of CC and CG lighting illuminated the night sky.

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 had to pull east due to the hail core was right behind us. Didn't take long for it to catch up either. Now past Guide Rock interchange on Hwy 136 East we stopped again to reassess the storms movement and our location. The storm was starting to weaken and loose its hook, but it was still worth time to get these snaps!

 

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....

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.

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.

Early May ... 2024

 

Dramatic storm clouds loom over a rural dirt road, outflow section of this storm suggests strong winds along this frontal boundary of this storm. The contrast of the dark, brooding sky with the lighter horizon creates a sense of tension and impending change.

Late June Storm, severe warned and moving my way...

 

Packed and Saddled and ready for that afternoon's events. Getting fulled up and looking due southwest. Towers were exploding and we had nice crystal clear air in front of this storm. The Severe Warning was for winds and hail. We just didn't have enough shear with this storm for it to be come tornadic.

 

Outflow Dominate it shall be... Oh this was going to be one to remember! Most of these captures came from south of Kearney, about 14-15 miles just north of the NTV Studios.

 

I had to eventually move north back into the city limits of Kearney. Sitting on the south side of the Interstate pointing the camera due southeast then to the southwest. This shelf cloud had some really amazing structure to it. Just a jaw dropping storm!

"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!

This set of images were few... It was extremely hot that day. 102 on the thermometer and 112 on heat index. I squeezed every drop of

photographic energy that afternoon.

 

Finally my new camera and lens were in hand after I had smashed the last one a few week prior. I knew we were bound to get some pulse storms before the severe storms popped on the Nebraska Kansas Border. I couldn't resist to get out. I had missed a few opportunists that past week.

 

I still wasn't feeling good, in fact my condition would get much worse before better. So simply no chasing that afternoon. Equipment charged and ready to go. A time lapse was on for that afternoon. A few hours of footage from a distance... Oh I took a few snaps also!

Our storm season is coming to an end, I wasn't about to miss out on one of Mother Natures last showing of Electrical Theater...in South Central Nebraska.

 

First round of storms hit about 5am. Sound asleep, my wife was shaking me, get up, get up.. I was prepared in case the storms erupted. There was so much lightning, it illuminated everything in the room. Grabbed my essential gear, headed out of the house, opened garage door and the 45mph wind gust made the rain go horizontal. Pea sized hail was ferociously coming down, I wasn't going anywhere.....

 

I was honestly disappointed, thinking that I had probably missed my last good opportunity for some incredible nighttime storm captures. Storms were supposed to fire in the early overnight not early morning.....

 

Hence living in Nebraska, patience has to be a virtue for every storm enthusiast. I went out after the first storms pushed through. I was about to capture some of my best of storm snaps of 2013. I was in luck, as strong thunderstorm redevelopment just off to the southwest....

 

The 2nd round of storms were producing some incredible Cloud to Cloud, and tons of Cloud to Ground Lighting. I couldn't have asked for a better photo opportunity!

 

I was hoping that these won't be the last shots of 2013, the were not.... Definitely worth my time catching them that early morning! Eye Candy for the Storm Chaser in Mind!

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.

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.

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!

Recovered from that old drive, I honestly thought I would never see these images ever again.

 

Early June.... conditions this time of year are prime for night storms. Didn't have to chase... just wake up...

 

It was just plain luck that I got these captures at all that night.

Ever have one of those VERY LONG DAYs... I had crashed out on the couch and about 12:30 am and my son strolled in and woke me up and said... DAD storms a brewin to the west. Sure enough... Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Southern Buffalo County with an incredible cloud to ground lightning display.

 

We both jumped in the Truck and went out a few blocks west outside of the city lights... We only got only a few shots as the lightning was abnormally severe.. The type that has a huge crack when it strikes. Every bolt that you see had an individual unique sound a few seconds after it has stuck.

 

Incredible strong positive lightning strikes.

A 2 day chase out on the plains of Wyoming. Just seeing some of the incredible landscapes with cloudscapes was worth every minute of this weather adventure. We have had early success in years past when I've ventured out here before but the days here this year in 2020... mother nature had different plans.

 

Had a good moderate risk days planned and the storms both days did produce tornadoes but getting close doesn't count. As you all know, catching the tornado is not everything. There is always more. To be honest I'm not disappointed. The trip out was fun and we did get some good storms to video and photograph.

 

This will be the first year about 6 years that I haven't caught a Nader in the month of May. 2020 is and has been a hard year to predict what mother natures going to do. Maps Models and everything we do to plan and prep had to be tossed out the window. Sometimes this works sometimes it doesn't.

 

I can't complain... I got to go storm chasin....

Got off work late this night... and I was already tired from the night before. Severe storms came in about 3:30am and of course I wouldn't miss it for the world. Even if I had work @ 8am. Believe me when I say I was beet and tired just off a 10 hour shift. Though I'm a trooper when it comes to my dedication for severe storm photography I make every storm count. I did with this one!

 

With that being said this was a non severe storm that came into town about 10:30pm that evening. Super Slow mover only about 10mph moving due east. Shooting off incredible displays of forked cloud to cloud lightning. Especially when it moved right overhead! Probably the best display of cloud to cloud lighting of the year in South Central Nebraska. Some incredible captures in the set of images.

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...

Click Here

 

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..

Had to get north as the wind speeds over 70mph were creating a ruckus on the drive north. Eventually I was able to get out in front of the base of the storm and once again get in front of this beast.

 

45 miles wide, almost from horizon to horizon, it was spectacular to see live. Though I didn't have much time left due to the sun setting but what I did catch was simple surreal!

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....
