It was a chase day.... though my luck this year to capture the extreme weather events in Nebraska has been few and far between.
The storms this year have been off and on. High Precip storms than only produce strong winds and mostly some small hail. Good for the communities and the farmers. We need the physical rain for the abundant crops across the great plains of Nebraska.. So I guess I'm not going to complain!
The cells were under a severe thunderstorm warning when I was approaching from the south. Some beautiful updrafts, on these developing Turkey Necks!

August 11, 2019 on Flickr Click Here
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!
Exiting the Belly of the Beast... we had to find a better route to get back in front of these severe thunderstorm cells. Hwy 34 East via Laird Colorado and then into Nebraska. 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!
I know my stuff when it comes to severe weather... We had a short time to wait till the next funnel cloud dropped! We were in for a photographic supercell treat! Round 3.

Mid October... 2023
Final Chase Day at hand for 2023....
Warm and with SPC Active warnings that afternoon of severe weather. Stayed in the South Central Nebraska Hwy 6 Neighborhood.
Some wicked good, or should I say fantastic views of the out waves of moisture to mix in with spookiness of October. Late season supercells along the dryline were forming & I had to get underneath! You know for the view that are contained within! Oh I got my share that day.
Not to spoil the fun... No Tornado that day.. or at least I didn't see it. Came over the 2 way that the was one on the ground exactly where my cameras was pointed... however bad positing on my part. If it was there I didn't physically see it. It doesn't mean it wasn't there...
The active warning for the Tornado didn't fire off on my alarm till I was already due east of Minden Nebraska. Didn't have the best plan for attack here. I knew it was coming but where I deiced to park wasn't the best viewing position. When that alarm goes off & didn't have the best road network to navigate though the city or around the city of Minden. So I decide to stay put since it was already heading my way.
Sometimes this is a good decision, that day it wasn't. I had played this day out a little to shy & got caught with just an outflow dominate storm that afternoon after the Tornado Warning.
It was a Fun way to end the 2023 Chase Season... Can't Wait for 2024!

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!

After some incredible thunderstorm structure south of Ansley Nebraska, I got pounded with quarter sized hail, horizontal rain and wind gust up to 50mph. There were times that I couldn't see 10 feet in front of the truck, but I pushed on.
Had some incredible lighting after pulling out the south end of this storm cell. But in the heat of the moment, I didn't have the camera in focus and about a 100 shots came out lame. I didn't know this at that time.... I was truly disappointed in myself, not checking settings. Its was one of those basic fundamentals.
I did get a chance to redeem myself as I pulled onto Hwy 40 east just outside of Miller Nebraska. The storm was still building as it was cresting northeast. Shooting off tons of cc lightning. I pulled off the side of the road to end of a day of some great storm chasing photography.

Hail core was right on top of my location. Big stones this time with over quarter sized hail. Already broke my windshield this day in 2 places... didn't want a 3rd. Had to pack up my gear and headed south to Benkelman Nebraska.
This severe warned storm cell was moving almost due south. I had positioned myself again in front of the advancing outflow.
There is something special about the landscape in southwest Nebraska. More wheat fields than corn. It was surreal. Especially with this incredible structure on this storm.
I really enjoyed the photographic opportunities this day....Some of my best storm chasing photography for 2016! Enjoy!

Almost mid July in Nebraska. This means ... Boilermaker...
It was 102 when I left Kearney. Hot Humid and uncomfortable. But when storms come, I'm not going to miss these special photographic opportunities. You can always count me in with camera in hand.
Had a moderate threat for severe weather on this day to the south and east of South Central Nebraska. Knowing this, Hwy 6 east through Hastings and then South of Clay center was battle ground for storms to develop. I was in position, but this day would be a bust as the storms would cap and no strong development came out of these storm cells.
I took advantage of what light & storm there was.... and went to town. Click Click Click!

The month of July in Nebraska is mostly just outflow storms from about mid June on. Meaning extremely strong outflow winds in front of this storm. Destructive that evening with winds over 60+ mph.
Once the storm base moved closer I was able to get some incredible cloud to ground strikes that would make for some of the best lighting captures of 2018. Like clock work I expected a late night storm with some phenomenal definition.
Beautiful crystal blue lightning illuminated the night as the arcus (shelf cloud) approached from the due west. Severe warnings were in place & right in my direction. Got to my location, set up the gear and went to town... Nothing but Crystal Blue Thunderstorm Eye Candy!!!

Weak storm cells developing to the southwest of Kearney and into my backyard. Another stormscape photo opportunity awaited.
When the storms are off in the distance...
Even though I wasn't chasing the storms that afternoon. Being close to home means that I'll get a chance at capturing some interesting storm cloud structures. Late May storm towers off to my southeast... & the cloudscapes coming up from North Central Kansas would be simply surreal that evening.

On the hunt again for severe weather. Little did I know that this would be my last chase in August 2019.
A strong developing system of storms were predicted that afternoon for western Nebraska and eastern Colorado. Though this was the first storm of the day to become severe and we were already in route.
I-80 Westbound towards Ogallala Nebraska the mammatus clouds means good instability and when they show before the storm I know that this means a good chance for what I'm looking for.
Hanging out the window for a few shots as we were on our way to intercept this first supercell of the day!

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.

Storm Chasing Video from afternoon / evening on Flickr Click Here
Just to the west of Odessa Nebraska...
First few shots of the day as this already severe warned storm was approaching from the northwest of my current location. Got in alignment of where I thought I had the best possible chance for pics & video. An open view with no power lines. Which is rare. Even in Nebraska.
There were actually 2 storm cells. Both were severe warned. I was on the outer boundaries of the western storm. The eastern storm was going to eventually merge with this storm & become one.
The lean or tilt in this storm meant business. Nothing to take away its energy for doing its building process. Rotation was imminent, though question was would this storm produce a tornado?

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.

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!

August 17, 2014 - Kearney Nebraska US
Mid August 2014.... A very hot & humid Sunday afternoon. With only a %30 chance of storms developing, we had a chance for a severe weather to develop. Central & South Central Nebraska were due for a good August Storm.
Conditions were just right for storms to brew. Right after 4pm CDT, northern Buffalo County (just north of my location) was getting hammered with 2'" diameter hail. This storm was on a direct course to skim just to the north of the city.
Had to back off from this approaching supercell. Moved back to the very outskirts of northern Kearney Nebraska. Got to the highest point possible & starting taking snaps. What a photogenic beast storm. Talk about Ominous... This approaching shelf cloud was truly a foreboding cloud structure as it creased ever so closer.

I had several chances at storms over the month of July into Early August... I did make an several attempts... resulting in several good sunsets (I'll post these at a later time), just no good storms to capture ... until this one.
This would be the start to several sets of images expanding from Mid August to late September and a few chases in October.
10:00pm, and the rain was coming down in sheets. Radar had several cells starting to mature, and warnings were just issued for Northern Buffalo County. Can you say right place right time...
This Ominous Shelf Cloud had several cloud to cloud and cloud to ground shots. Lots of positive lighting in front of this cell. It was incredible hard to see since it was misting and then hard rain right before these captures!

Watch the white nuckle Video of that afternoon on Flickr
An Epic Chase Day was upon us. Though the rest of the Nation was celebrating the Holiday. National Weather Service had us pegged for a moderate risk that afternoon & evening. Due to my injures to my back the past few months. Chasing Storms has been on the back burner... Until Now!!!
First cells of the day were in North Central Kansas. The boundary line was from North Central Kansas up to Norfolk Nebraska & a bit further north. All the action that day was going to be the east of Hastings Nebraska & South. Planned it out correctly for time & distance.
We encountered this incredible updraft structure on the back side of this storm as we were passing though Hastings Nebraska. Were were trying to catch up to it Via Hwy 6 & we eventually we did just to the east to Sutton Nebraska.
This storm was producing 2" hail so we held off a few mins to the the west of Sutton. We had perfect view of the wall cloud due southwest of the hail core. Had a nice tail but never formed.
Proceeded south to get south of this revved up supercell. We got along side of it via Hwy 81 south of Geneva Nebraska. Few miles south of Strang Nebraska we got ahead of the rain core & got in sight (paralleled to this storm) of this incredible developing wall cloud under the base of this storm. It did not produce a tornado but the views from this supercell were down right spectacular.
We had to reposition ourselves a few miles south of Bruning Nebraska as this Supercell move south southeast. The video & images I caught that afternoon were worth the trip. Phenomenal Storm Captures out on the plains of South Central Nebraska on the 4th of July.
Made it home to light of some fireworks & delicious bbq. Nice end to this day with family & friends after this Epic Storm Chasing Day!

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!

Way past sunset and I had all the equipment ready to go. Jaunted out to a few miles west of the city to get set up for a intense night of storm photography & videography.
This ended up being the best photogenic storm of April 2019 and I didn't have to chase it as it came to me! How sweet is that! April Storm Chasing Eye Candy!

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!!!!

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!

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!

Now heading south on Hwy 10, this storm cell was building and moving southeast. Meaning I had to catch up to it. Luckily, it was only moving about 10mph so I would see some good strong development on the back side of this storm

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!

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!

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!

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!

Visit my Photostream Archive (On Flickr) of Severe Weather
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.

Finally, after a 4 1/2 drive, I was in the severe risk, or moderate zone. @ Hwy 365 North Junction, a few miles north I pulled off to get these snaps of this developing cell that would turn into the Wray Tornado that afternoon.
I truly thought I had missed the game and I was feeling pretty depressed until I saw this.... This supercell already had rotation in it and I know from all the chases over the past 20 years of chasing... the last cell to develop will be the one to watch... even if there were other cells that day that were producing tornadoes.
We had all the right ingredients for this one to work her magic. I just had to position myself to get the best shots possible....
*** 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!

Now your gonna think I'm absolutely out of my mind... but I drove into that first cell to get to this one... In storm chaser terms is called punching the core... I was more than safe. The cell had been downgraded. Yes I went through some hail and torrential rain.. but that's what I do & I do it safely. When there is a will there is a way.
The storm was dying and I had to get into position for this next incredible cell moving out of northern Buffalo County.
Now I've caught some incredible lightning this year.. so instead of say it was my best.... It was simply JAW DROPPING FREAKING INCREDIBLE AWESOME DELICIOUS lightning.

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....

Our first non severe thunderstorms of the 2016 season.
I've been itching to get out to capture some Nebraska stormscapes. I was totally satisfied with that afternoons storm front that passed through about 6:30pm.
Not bad for my first batch of storm captures 2016!

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!!!

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!

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 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!

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.
After it was obviously over... no storms to chase & now the long drive home. There were storms firing out in Western Nebraska and was an incredible view of them on the way back north into Nebraska.
Not many pics from this set but it was good pickens for a bust chase day!
