These next 24 hours would very interesting. I was in the 100% Totality Zone for the solar eclipse the next day. So the camera was ready. Snagged it from the charger and I was off.
Had to work in about an hour. Of course I was waiting most of the afternoon for these storms to come closer and they eventually did...
A few wicked good lightning shots captured that evening!

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

I had pushed back north to the I-80 Overton Interstate interchange and was moving due east. There wasn't a soul on the road except for 1 maintenance truck that would end up next to me in Elm Creek Nebraska.
Now back in front of this cell as my full attention was directed due south. This tornadic storm was producing some incredible rotation. Window down and concentrating on driving to the east. I was taking a few snaps when I could and being safe about it. There was some incredible south winds that was swaying my truck, or I should say pushing my truck from lane to lane.

(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!

Late evening on hot and humid August evening in Nebraska. Warnings popped up about an hour before this storm was even visible to the eye over the horizon at sunset.
Spectacular Colors emitting from this stacked supercell. Cloud to Cloud Lightning shooting off every few seconds made this a storm chasers dreamscape.
Gear in hand that evening I traveled north out of Odessa Nebraska. Now about 2 miles to the east of Amherst Nebraska. This storm was strengthening and moving almost due south, southeast, meaning it was coming right at my location.
It would be a Historic Event to capture! Now remastered to the original color with no enhancements. Enjoy!

January 2020
It has been awhile since I have come back to this set of images.
Original Set of Images can be found here on Flickr
This set of images is and still has been the most stolen set of images I have on the web on several platforms. Literately millions of views with no link back to my work or my photostream. Probably why I haven't revisited this set til now.
Just to let you know, those images were WAY over processed, over saturated etc. Yes I'm guilty. But it was the way I did things back then. I don't anymore.
Every year I go back and edit a few sets of images that deserve to be re-edited or reprocess from raw. I'm also adding several images from this set I didn't share last time around.
Beautiful storm photography from my best of 2014 Collection!

"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!

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!

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.

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!

Pushing close to 60,000 feet, these cells had some good instability. Finally, we had some moisture to play with and dew points we on the rise.
Patiently waiting the 2017 chase season, I was off to capture some impressive Nebraska stormscapes.

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!

Right along side as I would eventually get south of the storm. It had more of a easterly movement than south. It was dying but still had some nice photographic view points!!!
Hwy 30 back to Kearney... and a good view of this dying LP thunderstorm. Fantastic Structure as her last moments before she would completely weaken and fade away. There is beauty in a dying thunderstorm... just have to know when and where to be to catch it!

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.

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.

3nd Chase of 2017...
Most of you know that follow me on Flickr & Social Media... that I love good opportunities to capture lightning. It was one of the reasons why I took up storm photography 20+ years ago. I didn't have many opportunities in 2016 to capture lightning...
This year it started off with a Bang. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. Disappointed of that afternoons chase... I was redeemed by the storms ample cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning strikes. An epic night of storm photography!

We were heading back into Missouri as the strongest of the storms were now way north. No way to catch up to them and the cells south were redeveloping for another wave. It was our end destination for the night...
We were in the middle of the 2 cells, and as we paused for a few minutes to get our bearings. Beautiful ambient light was cresting from the setting sun.

At least as long as I have lived here in Kearney and speaking with the local weather folks from our local tv station. It was by far the worst hail storm to ever hit Kearney Nebraska.
Hail stones over 5 inches in diameter slammed in to everything out in the open. My Neighbors roof, car and swimming pool were destroyed by these HUGE hail stones than pummeled the city of Kearney. Believe it or not... My house only had some damage to the siding... not as bad as my neighbors around me... Destruction to the city trees and everything else... lets just say it was nasty.

Late June in Nebraska, means late night thunderstorms, and and 4 trillion lightning bugs. they don't bother anyone, not as bad as the mosquitoes this time of year.
I didn't get many opportunities to capture lightning in 2016. When I did get the chance to chase night storms this year, my opportunities to be at the right place at the right time were few.
This was one of the few....
Developing night storm cells were in Western Buffalo county. This was a slow mover but just far enough away to get some nice shots to my west southwest.

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....

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!

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!

We were at moderate risk this day, and we all know mother nature just didn't produce.
It didn't mean it was a bust day for chasing for myself. I'm not always about catching the tornado. I'm always looking for the best photographic opportunity when it comes to storm chasing.
Started off the day with this beauty. Right on the first storm cells of the day in Mankto Kansas. This storm was producing dime sized hail and good rotation, but again she didn't produce.

June 2020 coming to a close. Though mother nature is just ramping up storms out here on the plains of Nebraska.
Another afternoon of severe weather and parts of Central and South Central Nebraska would be under the gun later that evening. Gear ready and packed we were off for another Severe Weather Adventure!
Though the storms we wanted to catch that afternoon decided to form and then weaken then form to our due north northwest again for the afternoon. Too far north for us to chase as they were developing and moving fast northwest.
Caught would we could for that afternoon and waited for the lightning fest that would be to the southeast and east of Kearney. No direct intercept this day... But mother nature was talking...

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!!!

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

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!

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.

Late evening on hot and humid August evening in Nebraska. Warnings popped up about an hour before this storm was even visible to the eye over the horizon at sunset.
Spectacular Colors emitting from this stacked supercell. Cloud to Cloud Lightning shooting off every few seconds made this a storm chasers dreamscape.
Gear in hand that evening I traveled north out of Odessa Nebraska. Now about 2 miles to the east of Amherst Nebraska. This storm was strengthening and moving almost due south, southeast, meaning it was coming right at my location.
It would be a Historic Event to capture! Now remastered to the original color with no enhancements. Enjoy!

January 2020
It has been awhile since I have come back to this set of images.
Original Set of Images can be found here on Flickr
This set of images is and still has been the most stolen set of images I have on the web on several platforms. Literately millions of views with no link back to my work or my photostream. Probably why I haven't revisited this set til now.
Just to let you know, those images were WAY over processed, over saturated etc. Yes I'm guilty. But it was the way I did things back then. I don't anymore.
Every year I go back and edit a few sets of images that deserve to be re-edited or reprocess from raw. I'm also adding several images from this set I didn't share last time around.
Beautiful storm photography from my best of 2014 Collection!

May 28, 2015 - Kearney Nebraska US
Another Day, of moderate risk in South Central Nebraska, with no severe storm development until after sunset.
Didn't have to travel very far, due to some small cells were firing south of us in Kearney County. They were moving north northeast. So I positioned myself just on the east outskirts of the Kearney city limits to use the ambient light of the city once the storms rolled in.
Not my best, but I haven't had many night lightning opportunities this year.... yet!

Late June 2017 in south central Nebraska. Its been a few weeks since we had any photogenic storms of any type.
These building cumulus clouds were developing just to the east of Kearney. I was just happy to see some development. A few shots to from that afternoon, early evening.

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!

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!

Sun was finally peaking out... clouds were clearing. Giving us this just Jaw Dropping Nebraska Thunderset... (Thunderstorm @ Sunset)
This supercell storm was cresting to the northeast & the ambient sunset light was giving us that Nebraska Magic. Just the perfect conditions to end this day. The final shots of light & storm were dynamically beautiful.

A swirling, dramatic storm cloud looms over a vast, open field filled with greenery. The contrast between the dark clouds and the bright horizon creates an intense and dynamic scene.

On the hunt for Severe Weather after about a month off of chasing. Though, always prepared and ready to go on another storm chasing adventure, once the storm models look favorable I was off to Eastern Colorado!
Early afternoon we encountered the first severe storm cells by Akron and Otis Colorado! We were traveling southbound via Hwy 61! Hot & humid, with the lower level jet playing into the game we were ready for mother nature to do her thing!

Finally a good setup for severe weather and were were on time for the event. Shortly after 4pm CDT were in the Moderate Risk area for that afternoon. Arapahoe Nebraska was our destination. Traveled a few miles south to get the best open position before the storms. Pointing the cameras due southwest, this is were they were to develop and become severe.
Towers were already forming and were were under the first cells of the day. These would become the tornadic cells just north of Alma Nebraska that late afternoon.
Always watching this process of the storm is interesting. How the clouds form before the storm into the storm... Plus they are always photographic eye candy!

Next stop was just to the west of Haigler Nebraska. Where there is no cell reception ... which means no radar data and no calls. Had to do this old school, which is fine by me. I didn't have smart phones and or instant data for storms before 1995. Though my partner in training was a little concerned we had it covered!
Beautiful Nebraska Supercell structure impending into our area in Southwest Nebraska. Just over the border from the Colorado state line. Creeping slowly about 14 knots per hour. We would be in position to encounter this tornado warned storm for the 3rd time this day.
Incredibly photographic structure from top to bottom on this cell. With all of our cameras focused on this event, can you say right place at the right time!

September 29, 2021 - Kearney Nebraska US
Late September....
Very late in the Storm Season
Apparently I didn't go through all my images thoroughly!
Enjoy these GEMs of some of night photography in 2021. Outflow dominate till it reached Kearney Nebraska. Then this storm got its severe thunderstorm warning and we actually have a small cuplet (small but you can see in this set of images. It only lasted for about 2 mins it lasted and it was night so there were not that many pics @15 intervals)
Thought it was going to produce a brief nader but it didn't. Nice structure for this late in the year and I waited til the last second to leave to get under the belly of the beast!
There might be more but likely this will be my last batch of 2021.
Enjoy!
