Tornado warned supercell NW of Springfield, IL 05/03/21. Severe thunderstorm became tornado warned in Cass County around 4:30 pm went through 3 more counties to the east before dissipating.
Lightning in an overnight supercell near Vicenza where the Po Plain turns into the foothills of the Alps.
The lightning frequency was stroboscopic and occurred mostly within the storm cloud itself. At times lightning also occurred from the 15 km high cloud tower as in this photo.
The thunderstorm was moving rather slowly in our direction while the clouds in the foreground were blowing toward it at rocket speed.
Consequently, there was a lot of wind which can also be seen in the blurred tree in the foreground.
An awesome stormchase....
This is a low-topped, or "mini-supercell" over northwest Missouri at sunset a few years back. These storms are interesting to me because they are much more compact than traditional supercells but capable of producing some destructive tornadoes at times.
After watching a supercell with a spaceship like wallcloud for more than an hour at the border of Colorado and Kansas, we followed the thing to the triple point of the states of Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska.
Here the storm is already over extreme southern Nebraska, with a nice stacked plate appearance and a rather ragged wallcloud almost scratching the ground.
Another picture of the supercell over Aduard on 5 June, 2015. Unfortunately the quality of the photograph is subpar due to the variations in lighting levels along the length of the panorama.
Clearly visible is a mesocyclone in the form of a rotating wall cloud in the centre, which minutes previously had been much more prominent and, according to reports, reached about 70% to the ground.
Also clearly visible is an inflow tail and an RFD to the right, as well as a general inflow cloud, here coming in from the north/the right side of the picture. You can also see what is possible a sattelite rotation here.
A growing supercell storm in Eastern Colorado at sunset made a great background for an awesome windmill!!
September 6th 2022, by chaser Jeroen. Monster supercell near the Dutch city of Bergen-Op-Zoom with fenomenal structure.
Panoramic version of one of my favorite storms. Captured outside of Kingfisher, Oklahoma. As you can see, we were very close. Looking into this storm was amazing. The color and contrast was surreal. I hope you enjoy. Please share :)
It is springtime in Texas, which brings supercell thunderstorms. This one has an impressive shape, particularly with the flank feeding in from the right. It formed west of Eastland, TX and is seen here over Meridian, TX on a multi-county journey. A long-lived tornado warning was present during this stage.
End of day 2 chase in Colorado near to the Kansas border chasing a supercell until sunset where we were able to get some nice lightning strikes as darkness fell.
Slow moving supercell over the Black Hills in South-Dakota.
We chased this storm in mountainous terrain for a few hours before it finally reached the plains east of Rapid City.
We encountered hail up to 2 inch in diameter with this storm, but according to the SPC storm reports largest hailstones almost reached 3 inch in diameter.
A baby supercell.
On the first day of my storm chasing trip we saw this lovely little supercell in the Texas Panhandle.
Texas. May 15, 2017.
In May, 2017 I went storm chasing in Tornado Alley. Tornado Alley, which stretches from Texas through to Nebraska, is the area of the U.S. which gets the most severe weather, and the most tornadoes, every spring. Over 8 days, I chased storms through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico with the amazing Mike Olbinski. What an incredible adventure it was!
In a bit of a departure for me, I tried my hand at time lapse on this trip. If you'd like to see the time lapse film I made, it's on YouTube.
If you'd like see more images I took while storm chasing, take a look at my Storm Chasing album.
This panoroma shows a dissipating super cell over Aduard as it was making a bee-line for my houseboat back in 2015. Other shots of this same supercell are in the album.
Minutes before this supercell came for my house, there was a tornado on the ground. By the moment it reached my place, the tornadic vortices had dissipated and all that remained were a wall cloud, some of which was rotating, and the remnants of an RFD.
To put it mildly: this was one of the coolest things I have ever witnessed in my life.
Also, this was a panorama taken on my phone, and unfortunately I fibbed the rightmost part of the panorama, so that it looks a bit wonky. I decided to keep it in because taking it out would require me to cut off a bit of the wall cloud from the shot, and that would do it more harm overall than the good of taking out the slight wonkiness would ever do.
Huge supercell which was dropping hail from its core as well as lightning as it moved across the landscape, you can see a small farm house to give a sense of scale to show just how big some of these supercells are.
A lightning producing supercell in Colorado. Pretty much my first shot of a 10 day epic tour around the US storm chasing.

The collaboration project between Von Wong and myself was great fun. I have been so excited to share new images including 5 new large format panoramas. This is one of my favorites. 18 images stitched together to capture this amazing tornado warned supercell outside of Boyes, Montana with an impressive shelf cloud feature. I kinda like my storm chasing vehicle in there too :) Thanks for looking!

Interception of a rotating thunderstorm at the border of Serbia and Hungary.
We watched this amazing storm structure in awe....
Chased storms earlier this week near the Kansas / Oklahoma borders as storms started to form along the dryline at sunset. Intercepted this beast of a supercell near Jefferson, OK. This storm had amazing structure! It took 15 images to create this panorama to show the entire storm. One of my favorites :)
Welp, today's storm hitting N. CA is less than enthralling, so I went into my archives and found nine photos to stitch together. This sunset Supercell was a fantastic way to end a day...
Huge Supercell in the center of Belgium. These storm produce a strong microburst on Jodoigne (+- 40 km from Brussels)
and caused extensive damages.
For the second year running I have been awarded in one of the biggest photography competitions; Siena International photo awards. 5th in The Beauty of Nature category, which gives my image an Honorable Mention.

The Enid Supercell.
'We intercepted this tornado-warned-storm near the town of Waynoka in Oklahoma, This remarkable fast-moving supercell changed shape and colours minute by minute in the soft evening light, the intense orange of the sand sucked by the storm's updraft, and backlit by the setting sun with the green and blue of the intense rain and hail.'

18 Image 180Ëš panoramic from a crazy teal colored supercell outside of Mitchell, NE from last June with storm chasing buddies. This storm has huge winds,rain and golfball sized hail Hope you enjoy!
May 9th, 2016 - Well. I wasn't expecting this...I almost went home yesterday. Something made me turn around while I was sitting near Altus, Oklahoma watching C-17's take off and land. Never been this close to a tornado before. Nowhere near this close. Heard the roar a few times today. I snapped this pic and went a few miles south. I can't believe I got the time-lapse I've been after this year. And while I'm standing there...the shrubs, leaves and grass started falling on me from the sky...and it was unlike anything I've experienced before. I'm so bummed to hear of a confirmed death from the tornadoes today and massive damage. Hard when something so beautiful is so incredibly deadly.
We had intercepted a Tornado warned storm near Waynoka before we headed south towards Enid. This remarkable supercell was heading towards Enid, Oklahoma when we caught up with it. This storm gave some amazing structure with lightning bolts coming straight out of this rotating mesocyclone.
If you would like to chase storms across America and learn how to capture images like these, we will be running a 10-day photography tour in June 2020, with www.weatherholidays.com This will be Tour 5 of the 2020 chase season starting in Denver.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - Paved roads were few and far between. Cell phone signal was non-existent. Hills and bluffs sometimes blocked the view. Mosquitoes swarmed around me and stubborn cows formed a roadblock. These are some of the challenges of chasing storms in Montana. Elsewhere crowds of storm chasers may converge on a supercell. But here it’s not uncommon to be the only one on a storm, and I feel an extra responsibility to report what I see to the National Weather Service. When everything comes together just right the supercells here can be truly incredible. This storm first went up over the Crazy Mountains before tracking east along the Musselshell River, into a part of Big Sky Country I’d never been. It was one of the roundest, most obviously rotating supercells I've ever seen. Evening sunlight snuck in underneath to turn the hail shaft gold. Just when the storm was at its most photogenic I came upon this scene of an abandoned house on the open prairie. It was exactly what I was looking for.
