It's June, Hot Humid... It's Prime Time Storm Season...

Though we only had a 10% chance of any type of development of storm that afternoon & evening. In fact all of the storms that day were to stay in western Nebraska and move to the north out of range of South Central Nebraska. That obviously was wrong!

I had just finished putting on the 2nd coat of stain on the new deck. Friends had stopped over to check on my progress. I had been so involved on completing the task at hand I didn't notice the lighting to the south of the city.

Let it be said I was unprepared and these 2 storms that rolled though that evening were unexpected. It was the reason I was finishing the staining of the deck. Though I did have everything charged and ready to go just in case. Wrapped up what I could and covered the new patio as best I could which would be a waste of time due to it all blew away!

This is the 2nd set of storms for that evening. I got lucky and into position just to the west of the city to watch this shelf cloud from its origin to when it came overhead.

Can I say priceless. Captured this life cycle of a shelf cloud... It was a nasty bugger of a storm also. 60+mph hour winds and some torrential rain.

3nd Chase of 2017...

Most of you know that follow me on Flickr & Social Media... that I love good opportunities to capture lightning. It was one of the reasons why I took up storm photography 20+ years ago. I didn't have many opportunities in 2016 to capture lightning...

This year it started off with a Bang. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. Disappointed of that afternoons chase... I was redeemed by the storms ample cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning strikes. An epic night of storm photography!

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!

It's Nebraska ... This our go time for severe weather & she didn't disappoint. This was the beginning of a 3 day severe weather event in South Central Nebraska.

Now my attention was the cell that was coming right at my location. In fact there were 2 cells. I was centered on this one in the beginning due to it had a severe warning on it. Both cells would eventually be severe warned.

Though this had some incredible photogenic storm structure. It had some minor rotation with this. It had my interest.

After an afternoon of non-expected storm chasing. We still had storms off to the southwest that eventually moved in to the south of the city.

From where I live I have have a perfect view. So I threw up the 4k and got some snaps while the light lasted.

Just a few cracks of shimmering light captured that evening. But it was well worth the views!

Talk about being disappointed. Lightning is by far my favorite thing to capture. If you have watched my video on this day on my Facebook Link, you would find about 30 images that I didn't have focused. Talk about wanting to shoot my self in the foot. It would have been some of my best captures to date.....

I did redeem myself though. The storm was still firing off a ton of cg lightning. Refocused my lens and captured these final shots of day.

It was a day to remember!

A few hours after sunset the first of the storms were entering our area from the due south southwest. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that this storm was gaining strength as if crept slowly ever so closer.

The amount of cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning was excessive. Excessive & Impressive. The video from this night says it all.

Enjoy these captures from this evening. Some of the best lightning I've caught in YEARS!

36 Years ago, with a peaked curiosity, I dove feverishly into the world of storm chasing and well, the rest is history. Fast forward a few years and my current journey in storm photography & videography has unlocked a completely new life that I never imagined would exist. Oh how my adventures continue...

Mother Nature definitely orchestrated her magic on this first storm chase of the season. Warm front had positioned itself right over the state of Nebraska. Pulling in all that warm moist air from the south created the perfect conditions for severe thunderstorm development. I was on the hunt & wouldn't be denied this day.

I got to witness 3 very sculptured Supercells that afternoon.... This was Supercell #2!!!

Was just east of Wilcox & the dirt roads hadn't been rained on yet. (I usually don't travel them anymore if they are) to watch this 2nd Supercell develop.

A few days off from work and a moderate risk day in South Central Kansas and Northern Oklahoma... Why Not....

Though some serious windshield time, and due to my physical condition I had to make several stops on the way down. With that being said, If I would have planned it out right I would have been able to see the Chester Twin Tornadoes and the Waynoka Tornado. But I was late to that game.

I didn't get many snaps, but I did have a few opportunities. @ the Hwy 281 & Hwy 11 Interchange. NWS has just issued a Tor warning for this cell. It was a fast mover and I wanted to catch the cell just south. Though this popped a funnel real close to my location and I wasn't gonna miss out on this.

Hot, Humid and Thunder Approaches. Nice thunderstorm cell just to the north of Broken Bow was sliding south into South Central Nebraska.

Gear packed and ready rumble, I slid north via Hwy 10, which was under construction. I didn't remember this when I left that afternoon and it would eventually push me out to the country roads of Northern Buffalo County Nebraska.

Severe warned and producing 3 inch hail. Severe winds were also a factor. It was a good photogenic storm to capture.

I Seriously, wasn't going to go out this night... Had a weeks worth of hell, and I really just wanted to do was get off work and go home. I was tired, I was cranky, it was the first weekend I've had off in a Month...

As soon as I pulled into the driveway @home, I could hear the weather radio going off and my storm capturing sensation came over me. Listening to the bullitins coming over the radio and I Freaked!. The storms were closer than I had thought. NWS just put warnings for Northern Buffalo County for super fast development of strong to potentially super severe, with large hail, and possible Tornadoes.

Photography Chance of a lifetime... Even though someone could cast me as a member of the Walking Dead....I was a trooper and I didn't wimp out! Luckily I had the my camera on the charger... Grabbed all my equipment & I hauled A** North... 20 mins later I found myself in the perfect spot, under the perfect conditions!

Cresting over northern Buffalo County, ready to cross between Pleasanton & Ravenna Nebraska, this cell was rapidly building and already had tornado warning on it. Incredible CG lightning in front of the storm cell was just to good to capture, with lighting firing off every few seconds.

The day wasn't over. Went home downloaded all the images video & charging all the equipment...

Late evening... about 10:30pm ish I had alerts set up for counties to my north just in case we had storms develop. Oh they did...

Weather Alert alarms were blasting warnings. Grabbed my gear and caught this crystal clear nighttime supercell off to the northeast of Kearney.

All those storms from earlier that afternoon made the sky crystal clear & perfect. Cloud to cloud ⚡ was just popping out of these thunderheads. It was the perfect opportunity to do what I do best!

Myles Nelson on your Right and I am on the left! The last pic of the day...and this set!

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!

Its been a few weeks of no storms in south central Nebraska, we decided to head west for a fun filled afternoon of severe weather! A moderate risk day with PDS warnings on the supercells that we were chasing that afternoon.

We knew where we wanted to chase and had planned it out perfectly. From Kearney to Scottsbluff NE. From Scottsbluff to Torrington Wy, and then Hwy 85 South. We ended up parked right under a 4g cell tower, close to the Hwy 85 & junction 216 with time to spare. Perfect position, perfect light, and we had perfect cell signal to stream this event live.

Now the official report says this is an E-F0 Tornado. It only lasted about 4 4 1/2 minuets. Approximate path length was 2.8 miles, and max width was 80 yards. It was the first of the day to touchdown in Wyoming.

***

Proud to say that this was my first time that my video stream was on the Weather Channel via StormViewLive.com and these were the photos that coincided with that day... The video is to long to post to Flickr, but it can be viewed via this link. goo.gl/m65rN4,

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.

September was still hot & humid within the wide open plains of Nebraska. The drought this time of year is normal. The heat is not. Was lucky to get this lone storm that afternoon.

The winding down of the storm season is right on time. We did have a few night storms with some good lighting. But my time is limited this time of year. Was only able to get this event.

A photogenic storm was what I need & what was received that afternoon. It was the last storm that I chased for 2022.

Moderate Risk, and there were already severe weather warnings and tornado warnings for this storm as it approached from the northwest.

Sumner Nebraska... right on the outskirts of this rural town when we finally could see some good definition on the shelf and outflow of this storm.

This is when things were starting to get serious... Several lowering indicated a sizable rotating wall cloud just off to our northwest. It definitely got out attention.

Then... BOOM Tornado just to due north about 500 to 700 Yards out. Nice derbies field to confirm this tornado just north of Sumner Nebraska!

An epic night of sunset light and storm light @ twilight. Its almost every storm chasers dreams... or at least, in my own opinion, to get along side of a storm like this, as its firing away some incredible CC & CG every few seconds. What more could you ask for...

I was that Lucky Gut that evening. Just mother nature and I. Close to home after a few long storm chasing jaunts is just fine by me. She was producing and I was capturing every incredible second of this storm.. No Forking Bolt went away that evening without me getting a snap of its presence.. lol

Looking to get to the best position for this incoming shelf cloud! Moved again to get the best advantage for my captures. Now east side of Kearney on some new roads still under construction, no traffic and all open sky that I want.

This storm cell eventually developed into a monster with quarter sized hail and 60+mph wind speeds. This was a terrific photographic beast. A dangerous but a fruitful basket of storm chasing eye candy!

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!

I had about a 1/2 hour left before I was forced to leave to get to work on time... I had to scoot a tid bit north of Oconto to get these final captures.

Now a full fledged developed shelf.. and it was reforming to become even stronger as it moved due north for the rest of that evening.

Can't complain... a very good day of storm chasing. 2 good storm cells, 3 good opportunities for some of my best captures for 2016. It was a good day!

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.

It was to good to be true, but right after sunset a secondary small non severe thunderstorm started to brew just to the southwest of Kearney.

Even though I just had a spectacular afternoon of some incredible stormscapes, I was in for a treat this night. An electrified thriller, one storm that I wont soon forget.

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.

60+ Mph winds, quarter sized hail and torrential rain. I got it all with this storm.

Now set to intercept.... This approaching shelf cloud was something special. I had the perfect light conditions to capture some incredible defined Nebraska stormscapes!

Thunderset = Cloudscapes after thunderstorm during a sunset.

Well its been a weird year for weather. No severe storms yet in 2020 to come into south central Nebraska. That alone is strange. Though after the past few years of flooding and other severe weather events. It is good to have a break from all of what mother nature has dished out to us here in the central plains of the US.

I haven't posted any new video for awhile so I thought it was time to pull out the 4k and get some practice in before our severe weather season starts... eventually. Dying thunderstorms, non severe were passing over, giving us some much needed spring moisture.

Oh the sky was talking and I couldn't resist getting this sunset. Another small set of photographic captures of this Nebraska Thunderset.

2nd Chase of 2017...

I got positioned just ahead of the front, even though it was pacing fast to the east. I had about 10 mins before the front passed again.

Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were in effect now for eastern Dawson and Western Buffalo Counties. The storm that I had caught south of Lexington had split and those cells now were south my location were producing golf ball sized hail.

I was in for some horizontal rain, pea sized hail. While I could, I was photographing some formidable Nebraska stormscapes!

Had to head west, had to work in a few hours. Though I stopped to get these final shots of the day.

Another good storm cell was developing to my south. It was just north of Paradise Kansas. Back end of this storm had some beautiful structure, storm chasing eye candy to end the day.
