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!

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!

July 7, 2014 - Kearney Nebraska US
*** Personal Note ***
This is the original set back in 2014. If there was any type of editing done, I used the free Avery photo editor here Flickr. My Opinion... it wasn't the best but I had no prior knowledge of editing them back then. Plus I only shot in .jpg format not in .raw and I didn't do the best by over coloring and over saturation. There are some in this set this way. I was very under experienced in photo editing back then.

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.
Another epic set of thunderstorm captures from South Central Nebraska. 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!

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 till it was about a mile away then I would head north again to a safer / better viewing position.
*** Editor Notes ***
Greetings Everyone, I haven't posted many new pics since last chase season and the 2020 Severe Weather Season is upon us. Looking for our first set of storms in the coming weeks and I'll be streaming live and of course some of the best storm photography one could ask for.
2020 Update...I've been revamping how I do things. One of those things is to go back and correct how I did my post processing of images. Several Years of over Colorizing over Saturation Adding color... etc. Yes I'm guilty of doing so and I have been going back and replacing thousands of images in hundreds of sets over these past few months here on Flickr my Fine Arts America Site.
The May 7, 2016 Colorado Tornado Event was by far one of my favorite chase days to date. I was able to capture the full genesis of a tornado. From birth to death. It was a quest of mine to do this in a photography medium. Epic severe weather structure, like once in a lifetime structure to capture. But post processing was a nightmare. The images came out well ... Defined but over colored over saturated etc.
Instead of replacing the images this will be a whole new set with a few hundred new images that I didn't post on the original set back in 2016. I've thought about re-editing these images for a long time and they are finally done. No Altercations what so ever. No Added Light, Color, Contrast.
I've brought them directly from RAW. Simply the way I should have done it in the first place!

This image will be featured in several National Magazines and Calendars in 2019. Featured on National TV Networks.... Summer 2018. I got to see it live... it was worth every second!
Impressive... This is what I wait for each year. The opportunity presented itself, and I was prepared. Though I was super sick, and I shouldn't have been out.
I had left early that late afternoon to head north from Kearney. I knew from day prior that this would be a phenomenal storm chasing day. SPC had us on Target from the night before. All the right conditions came together. Awesome.
These were just the outer edges of this supercell as I approached from the southeast. Perfect Conditions, Perfect Light.... but the 3" diameter hail was not, that was to come....
Just some superb captures to start off that storm chase'n afternoon. Which, btw was only the beginning....

The 2016 storm season is upon us here in the plains of South Central Nebraska. Thought I better get the cobwebs out of the lens and take a few different perspectives.
Nice set of thunderheads off to our southeast. Nice Towers forming over northern Kansas and moving into southeast Nebraska. No chasing this day. Had to work, but this was good for an after work viewing of the storms.

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

Dark, dramatic clouds loom over a rural landscape, casting an ominous shadow. A straight road cuts through open fields, leading into the distance under the turbulent sky. The combination of vivid greens and yellows in the foreground contrasts with the deep blues and grays above.

A few pics that didn't make it to my Flickr Photostream in 2020. So I'm adding them now.
I do so much sky photography and at that time of year when I take these, they sometimes get lost within the fold. So at the end of each year I find a few that are worthy of being posted!

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.

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)

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....

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!

This days chase was coming to and end as the storms were gaining strength but I was already out of my element of light.
Final captures for the evening were taken just south of the I-80 interchange as I was heading back to Kearney.
Within the final rays of light we caught some good views of the denaturing storm cell I was chasing most of the 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!!!

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!

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....

Original Series ( No Edits )
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!

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....

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.
I was watching the warnings go up for cells about 2 hours north of my location. Was watching some of the other chasers via the web that were out and about on these cells that early afternoon. Lots of action, severe warnings....it was my calling! I had gear packed and headed just to the west of Broken Bow. It was where I first encountered this beast.
Little did I know that I would follow this all the way back into norther Buffalo County that evening... With some of my best storm captures from August 2017!

Late July 2023...
My passion for Lightning never ends. It truly is the soul reason why I grab my gear & head out when others take shelter.
In my Opinion... this set of images is / has to list as one by best set of Lighting Captures EVER. That's saying a lot. Especially if you follow what I do.
Gems of Gems!!

After the tornadoes in south central Nebraska that afternoon. Storms were still percolating and still severe enough to produce what I'm looking for... That wouldn't happen again that day... Oh the structure on those severe storms were truly photogenic. Some of the best Nebraska outflow boundaries of 2018 were in my viewfinder that day.
Though sick as a dog, I proceeded east and stayed ahead of these cells in case they produced again. These storm cells wouldn't give me any more Naders that afternoon, but it sure was fun to follow these remaining storm cells.

I couldn't believe it... Another late night storm and this one was brief but packed a punch and some nice lightning as it passed to the northwest of Kearney
Usually by this time in any year here in Nebraska our storm season is way over. Not that way in 2021. Our severe weather pattern stayed active all the way til late December 2021.

August 13, 2019 on Flickr Click Here
Heading south from Trenton Nebraska down to Atwood Kansas via Hwy 25....
Was simply a white knuckle drive. Nothing but straight line winds and big hail. Couldn't see anything in front of us. 10 feet was the maximum visibility. Hydroplaning due to the amount of water on the road we had to slow way down to stay safe. It was the last of the day for core punching. It takes some nerves of steel to do what I did that day.
Though I remained calm during this part of the trip the rewards for the final jaunt to get back in front of these emerging storm cells was worth the trip.
Localized flooding and several trees down in Atwood Kansas. The main part of this cell was due east about 10 miles. We didn't take long to get to our destination on beautiful plains of Kansas. One more chance for some incredible structure before we called it a day of storm chasing...

A late June Storm Chase with fellow chaser Myles Nelson in the Eastern Plains of Colorado. Which would eventually takes us into Kansas and back into Nebraska.
We had a long drive back after the last light of the day and this storm was to intensify. Oh it did, making our trip back a little more interesting than expected.
We became the hunted as this storm really intensified in size and strength. There was so much lighting being fired off we could see for miles and miles as the storm was picking up steam and moving to the northeast. Relentlessly following us on our heals ever inch of the way back we were getting concerned about out safety.
Once we turned east via Hwy 89 back into the southwest portion of Nebraska, we came face to face with a Tornado on the ground close to Wilsonville Nebraska and another possible one north of Beaver City. That was not in the plan for that evening and it definitely got our attention.
We finally pulled ahead of the storm but not for much time. A few miles north of Alma Nebraska I pulled out the 4k and went to Infrared. Epic Nebraska Storm Chasing Finale!

Editors Note...
Once a year a pull out a few sets from years past to start of the new year. In 2024 this year I have went back & revamped one of my favorite severe storms photo shoots of 2018
Back then I over colorized & over saturated the images. Pixelated & not my best work... Images were what I wanted but not the final product. If you want to see those to compare to these remastered images... here is your Flickr Link to that set of images...
But these are Gems of Gems.. I've even added about 50+ images in this set that I wasn't able to work on back in 2018. I even made a video with the old images to kick off the 2023 season... You can watch this right here on Flickr... Click Here ** Please remember I used the old images in this video **
Lightning is my forte... It is why I chase storms. To have an photo opportunity come up like this & traveled only 6 blocks from my home to get these pics...Gotta Luv Nebraska!

About that evening...
An epic night of sunset light and storm light @ twilight. Its almost every storm chasers dreams... or at least, in my own opinion, to get along side of a storm like this, as its firing away some incredible CC & CG every few seconds. What more could you ask for...
I was that Lucky Guy that evening. Just mother nature and I. Close to home after a few long storm chasing jaunts is just fine by me. She was producing and I was capturing every incredible second of this storm.. No Forking Bolt went away that evening without me getting a snap of its presence..

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!

Watch the Video from that evenings final pics of Sunset & Mammatus Clouds from August 13, 2019 on Flickr Click Here
We had a long drive back to home! Behind the storm that afternoon was a full lit sky of mammatus cloud. We had to wait for the sun to peek out behind the clouds but that is when the real magic happened. The sky at dusk was simply epic!
An experienced... storm chaser knows that after the storm is one of the most photogenic parts of the storm. Some of the best shots I've ever taken have been on the backside of a thunderstorm. I call them Thundersets!
Now...if your not a storm chaser and one is patient enough to wait for the base of the storm to move with the limits of the sunset light. Special things can happen, have your camera ready there is always some magic happening!
This was that experience. There is no place like Nebraska!

Unpacked and gear out close to home as a non severe thunderstorm approached from the due south of Kearney Nebraska. Just on the outskirts of the city just to the east of Kearney High school .
A few pics that didn't make it to my Flickr Photostream in 2020. So I'm adding them now.
I do so much sky photography and at that time of year when I take these, they sometimes get lost within the fold. So at the end of each year I find a few that are worthy of being posted!

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...

August 22, 2014 - Kearney Nebraska US
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!

A 10% tornado risk day when the SPC maps were out early in the morning on this day. Models had favorable for late afternoon severe storms to erupt right on the Nebraska Kansas Border.
Had been chasing storms past few days and the wear on the body was at hand. With this rare opportunity in 2020, a year of no tubes, we didn't want to miss this tornado event in my backyard if it happened. Sucked up the tiredness and snagged my chase partner in Hastings Nebraska and headed south into North Central Kansas. The prime of the predicted storm zone for that afternoon.
After the first storms initiation, we were watching out west with good development to our west... Mankato Kansas. Everything was moving almost due northeast that afternoon and we thought we could cut north and follow the storm cell that had the most promise of development.
On target and in position to intercept just to the south of Reynolds Nebraska we had our first Tornado of the year. Incredible bands of winds around this tornado was kicking up so much dust that it was almost haboobish.
After this encounter we headed back to the northeast to intercept again then back down to Nebraska Hwy 136 to Beatrice. All in all, we followed that same system till it merged with another cell. We followed the system eastward as the warnings stayed active. We did see a few wall clouds and funnel bases that afternoon but nothing as good as what we caught in Reynolds Nebraska. Not a bad way to end another epic storm chasing day!

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 the reason why I got into storm photography. It has taken years of practice to capture it without a lightning trigger. Patients is the Key. But when it happens you have to be ready. It doesn't stay around for very long.
Had the equipment locked and stocked. Knew the storm was coming and wala... It took til August 2021 to do but finally some incredibly good and wicked lightning!

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!

Another Incredible Nebraska Skyscape. Beautiful July ambient light, against a dying thunderstorm. Nope it's not severe but it's what I do when the light is right. Plus, I was super sick... A few days away from being forced into the hospital. I'm better now, and thankful.. that's a story to come!
I honestly took extra time on these captures. I was using a new filter on my new lens. So no added color or any adjustments to the image in Photoshop on this set. Now I had to bring them through Photoshop from raw... but that's it and of course the pano's are done separately.
Also... I only had one camera...for video that evening. Otherwise you would have seen this first storm cross over and you would have seen some sweet Nebraska thunderstorm views. Just to the east southeast. July Mammatus... these are just as sweet as this video... Just captures though...These have been added to this set.
It seemed the sicker I got, the better the photography I took... It was only about 10 days till I was forced into the hospital. I shouldn't have been out. But you don't get captures like this if you don't go try to catch them...
I was sick but had a blast, and what I caught was just Awesome!

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!

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!
