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....

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 was another exciting local chase day in South Central Nebraska. A real treat! I didn't have to travel far from home to catch the severe weather that afternoon.
By mid afternoon, mother nature was on the prowl. Dry line had formed just about 30 miles to my west and storms were firing. Towers building and we had sufficient shear that day. We had all the right ingredients for severe weather to do her thing.
I was hoping for a photographic day, and this was the 2nd photogenic severe storm cell of that day. I wasn't expecting this opportunity. Even though NWS had downgraded this cell, it was still a sight to look at.
Arcus.....I wasn't disappointed.

May 27, 2015 - Parks Nebraska US
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.
Back to chasing storms, and I was lucky enough to be right behind the cell that had prompted the tornado warning in Colorado as it moved over the Nebraska border. This cell was building and I was parallel with this storm on Hwy 34
Possible tornado on the ground just to the Southwest of Benkelman 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!

This set of captures were taken just south of Wymore Nebraska. I had just came from south of Fairbury when over our 2 way reports of the storm to the south of Wymore had just went tornadic and there had already been confirmed reports of funnels ...
I don't speed, I calculated the time it would take for me to get there and .. I had time indeed to get into position to intercept. So I moved again to get into position, to get aligned with this next storm cell.
Already in Wymore & heading south. The storm was Raging... Moving due northeast... Some good hail 1 1/2" diameter hail stones were pounding my truck just on the outskirts of the township. I had stopped in a safe position... I was on the back end of the storm on the southwest side of the rotation... about 200 yards due east I noticed rotation right in front of me and BINGO...
2nd Tornado of 2018 in all of it's sweetness....
EF-0
Path about 1 - 1 1/2 mile to the northeast
All 3-4 mins of it eh!!!

I've learned a few valuable lessons over the years of chasing severe weather. One of them is to be extremely cautious of the dirt & dust that is kicked up in the early storms of the season. I spend hundreds of $$$ on keeping my lens clean. I should say lenses since I have multiple cams. Meaning I don't get my cams out for the dirt. Yes its going to happen but not again on the first storms of the year... Please note that you can see the haze of the dirt flying in on the back side of the storm it was nasty.
It was good to see the return of the first storms of the season here in South Central Nebraska. This was the same system that produce all those tornadoes in Iowa, but this was the day before. (Someone messaged me & asked why I wasn't chasing Iowa) Real reason is its Way East... Ya I could have gone but I had some other responsibilities & want to save the $ for fuel for later chase dates... There will be more storms!
While the rest of the US has seen its share of severe weather this springtime 2023. Nebraska has a very limited amount of nice weather, let alone nicer temps as spring approaches. Just last week we had a winter squall come through with 6 inches of snow. So yes there was snow still on the ground in a few places as temps reached 70 here for the first time this year.
I need to get out & grasp a few snaps before the haboob swept over the city. (Dust Storm)
Officially my first of 2023, can't wait to see what's next!

A incoming shelf cloud dominates the night sky, with a subtle glow of city lights on the horizon. The foreground features an expansive field of grass, illuminated subtly under a hazy atmosphere. Preempt for a nasty thunderstorm.

June 23, 2007 - Kearney Nebraska US
This storm was moving incredibly slow, building and brew'n just to the southeast of my location.
So much energy out of this developing storm cell to the southeast of Kearney that evening. Every few seconds there would be some kind of electrical discharge. I never had to wait for the next bolt. Just pointed my camera and shot away. Its slow development/movement to the northeast gave me this opportunity get these incredible shots.

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!

Though all of our planning had us hoping for an epic chase day, but mother nature had other plans...
Traveled to western Nebraska to wait for the initiation of severe storms either in the Northeast section of Colorado or where the cape and moisture signatures were predicted for that afternoon and evening. We had our hopes up. The CAP would prevent any development of storms for us that day...
We had to move from eastern Colorado down to Northwest Kansas. Where....Finally thunderstorm initiation started just to the south of St. Francis Kansas. Not many pics from this set but it was good pickens for a bust chase day!

Early September 2023...
Gear Packed & Primed! Drove west from Kearney out to Lexington Nebraska area. Once the warnings started to fire out in West Central Nebraska. It was time to do my thing. It was to see one of the last supercells of the summer of 2023 & I wasn't gonna miss out. This truly had incredible, beautiful structure. Was tornado warned & had all the right elements for what I do.
No I didn't see a Tor-nader that day. I got a few snaps of what I think was a wall cloud to the cell northwest of my location.
I was there for the structure & I got those incredible snaps... It is what I came for!
*** PERSONAL NOTE***
I travel a lot of roads LESS TRAVELED than most in Nebraska due to what I do. After the Lexington Nebraska event.. I had to shoot back a few miles due my proximity to the storm.
As I traveled west then south from Overton Nebraska .. Via Nebraska Road "748" heading west. My normal spot was taken due to harvesting from the farmers. Cows were in my favorite spot. So a drove a few miles to the west. I had been by here about 1000+ times but never realized there there was an historical marker here.
So unknowingly, as I pulled into this little area with no power-lines I found a new place to take snaps but it has some historical value. Thought I would add this link for those of you that are curious about this Famous Nebraska Historical Marker.

May 3, 2012 - Kearney Nebraska US
Storms were to develop early afternoon but the dry line stalled. Late afternoon into mid evening the dry line pushed just to the west of our location.
With unusually humid conditions for this time of year in South Central Nebraska, this produced the perfect conditions for supercells to develop just to the southwest & west of Kearney Nebraska.
Rarely do we get to see the full development from nothing to a full fledged supercell and this one had fast development resulting in some of my best storm photography for 2012

Massive, dramatic mammatus clouds fill the sky with a range of purple and dark hues, creating an ominous yet mesmerizing scene. A hint of light from the horizon and a faint silhouette of a utility pole add depth to the composition.

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 photography to date...
Just north of Arapahoe Nebraska, the first non severe cells of the day were putting on a spectacular display. I pulled off to get some incredible Nebraska stormscapes!

Early season storms here in Nebraska are simply surreal. The epic beauty that surpasses the sunset's ability to crest its light against the ominous position of this storm that evening.
Sunset cresting into twilight with a huge anvil (Cumulonimbus Incus) approaching from the northwest into South Central Nebraska.
I had way over colorized saturated other things to this original set of images. So I went back & took the raw images back to their original color templates & remastered them back to the original color specs of the origin image.
I only had a few of these published when I posted them back in 2017. Here is the entire set reworked!

Our Severe Weather seasons is coming to a close. One last severe weather setup and it would be worth our time to chase.
Now just to the north of Holdrege via Hwy 181. Now to intercept this storm once again which now had a really good hook on radar.
Though this storm didn't produce another tornado we got right underneath the rotating base of this storm. Close but now cigar...

It's not called the lazy days of summer for nothing... Hot, Humid, and Dry... That's August in Nebraska. Without any front to push. Late summer storms cells develop, linger and are mostly slow movers. Just like these cells on that day.
Had to boogie on south.....
One of the finest things about Nebraska is her landscapes. When I was young, I hated the open plains, now I thrive for them. Beautiful, I don't know why, but it moves me to take these captures.
Sitting on Hwy 183 with not a soul in sight, I had the perfect perspective.

It was simply one of the best storm chases for 2015. As night was upon us we still had a 3 hour drive back home.
Its that time of year when storm cells redevelop out in western Kansas / Nebraska and just go on all night. We were in the path of most of these redeveloping cells on that nights drive back.
Intense cc and cg lightning accompanied these cells. I can't say that I didn't stop and take a few captures....

Almost perfect conditions for severe weather that day in North Central Kansas and South Central Nebraska. Towers were in full force by 4:30pm and the NWS has issued waring for Buffalo County. Storm cells were only moving at 15mph to the north northwest and it was producing some quarter sized hail.
Got north of the hail core via Hwy 10. It (the hail core) was just dumping on the south side of this storm, so the plan was to move north northwest of the storm and see what I get.
Full fledged wall cloud was developing directly southwest. I had positioned myself to the north west of Pleasanton Nebraska to possibly get that special photographic opportunity.

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!
Tornado warning had just come over about 4:20pm MDT and we were just about to intercept. We were 4 mins late to see the tornado but we did get right under the base off the storm that produced it. Strong winds and hail accompanied this as we got to the south of this rotating supercell. Up close and personal!

Storm Chasing Video from that Afternoon on Flickr Click Here
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!

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!!!

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!

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)

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.

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!

What was an Epic day of Storm and Sky on the Eastern Plains of Colorado.
We had a late start to get to our destination of Goodland Kansas that afternoon. Though with that said we did see one Landspout / Tornado just to the south of Burlington Colorado. Of couse we would have luv'd to see some of the naders about 100 miles to our west but we didn't plan this one out correctly to do so.
Bumped into Legendary storm chaster Danial Shaw from Down Under... as he pulled up next to us shortly after we got there. I pretty sure he caught what we could see south of Burlington up close and personal.
Storm went outflow dominate as it squeezed its way into northwest Kansas. We ended this days chase between St. Francis and Bird City Kansas.

Over a month off from any type of photography or videography. I did go out a few times though my wife was super strict after I got out of the Hospital. I sure didn't want to go back... I had to sneak out... shhhh don't tell her. I'll post a few of those later... there's not many...
Now my body was on the mend, believe me when I say I was super sick. I was. The 2018 storm season was almost over... We have this little window of opportunity the last week of August till the end of September where we have that peak of severe weather. Just the opposite of spring.
I was not allowed to chase but this was close and I got some incredible snaps!!!

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!

As the first supercell had now moved north towards the North Platte Area. I was in the path of the 2nd storm gaining intensity and severity.
This was a larger complex of developing storm cells and I thought it was going become outflow dominate due to the large bow on radar from the outflow.
Though I would be wrong and this would stay organized and one could say I was in for a treat. Patiently awaiting I had the perfect spot again for this end of the year footage.
I was directly in the notch of this storm. Multi lightning bolts, cloud to cloud and cloud to ground were illuminating the ski every few seconds. Clearly defined cloud structure as one can see the developing wall cloud as it approached my location.
Yes this was very dangerous but this is what I do. Most never will or ever get to see a storm like this. Not this up close and personal as I did this evening. A wicked good way to end my Storm Chasing Weather Adventures in 2019!

I've learned a few valuable lessons over the years of chasing severe weather. One of them is to be extremely cautious of the dirt & dust that is kicked up in the early storms of the season. I spend hundreds of $$$ on keeping my lens clean. I should say lenses since I have multiple cams. Meaning I don't get my cams out for the dirt. Yes its going to happen but not again on the first storms of the year... Please note that you can see the haze of the dirt flying in on the back side of the storm it was nasty.
It was good to see the return of the first storms of the season here in South Central Nebraska. This was the same system that produce all those tornadoes in Iowa, but this was the day before. (Someone messaged me & asked why I wasn't chasing Iowa) Real reason is its Way East... Ya I could have gone but I had some other responsibilities & want to save the $ for fuel for later chase dates... There will be more storms!
While the rest of the US has seen its share of severe weather this springtime 2023. Nebraska has a very limited amount of nice weather, let alone nicer temps as spring approaches. Just last week we had a winter squall come through with 6 inches of snow. So yes there was snow still on the ground in a few places as temps reached 70 here for the first time this year.
I need to get out & grasp a few snaps before the haboob swept over the city. (Dust Storm)
Officially my first of 2023, can't wait to see what's next!

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.
Back @ home. I waddle out to the front driveway & look due east. There are always thunderheads with storms. If your lucky enough to witness one that are simply jaw dropping your indeed lucky. Today was that day.
Epic Thunderheads to my due east of Kearney. Photographic Bombshells of a Thunderstorm as it passed to the east of the city.
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!

This cell was a slow mover... only about 10mph almost due south. Severe warned and producing some real eye candy. Back building, it was a sight to see live.
Though sunset was upon me and I was loosing light fast. Perfect timing for this set of captures!!!

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 got down to south east Nebraska (Hebron area) late afternoon before the storms started to fire. Hwy 136 east would be our target spot when storms were just forming to the south Red Cloud Nebraska.

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.

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!

Storms now moving from Custer County to to Northeast Dawson county. Had to hall a$$ north to get set up and find a good location to get some great snaps. Off to Hwy 40 NW to intercept this storm cell in eastern Dawson county!
Now parked on the west side of Sumner Nebraska, there was rotation on radar and visual. Intercept was imminent, and it was almost right on top of me. Maybe a little to close, but the radar told me that this cell was going to pass to my southeast. (Its not always this easy) I managed to get in the perfect position as this storm cell was cresting almost due south now. I was snapping away like a crazy wind!
Truly, I had tickets for the best seats in the house!

Almost perfect conditions for severe weather that day in North Central Kansas and South Central Nebraska. Towers were in full force by 4:30pm and the NWS has issued waring for Buffalo County. Storm cells were only moving at 15mph to the north northwest and it was producing some quarter sized hail.
Got north of the hail core via Hwy 10. It (the hail core) was just dumping on the south side of this storm, so the plan was to move north northwest of the storm and see what I get.
Full fledged wall cloud was developing directly southwest. I had positioned myself to the north west of Pleasaton Nebraska to possibly get that special photographic opportunity.
I truly wasn't disappointed. It was in my terms... the perfect day!
