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.

Some good photo ops, as I was driving south. Tornado Warning now on the cell just to the east. Had to get to the Hwy 15 / Hwy 41 Junction to watch the wall cloud move just to the west of Wilber Nebraska.
A few of these might be a little blurry, though structure was wanted to show here. It was my only Tor Warned storm all day, as I was now close to 13 hours on my chase day. I was getting tired and I wasn't about to chase a tornado in the dark, so to get close and witness what I could as there was no light left. 1"-2" Hail now was pounding my windshield and it would only get worse. Though I rolled down the window and shot these final shots...
Final Day shots that is...

Vibrant colors contrast dramatically as a dark stormy sky meets the fiery hues of a setting sun. An expansive field stretches out beneath the captivating skyscape, leading towards the distant horizon.

We had to pack up and move south via Hwy 283 South then Head due east of Hwy 89. This route takes us though Beaver City, Orleans, and eventually just north of Alma Nebraska.
Now just west of Orleans Nebraska. Meso on this storm was getting well defined. Definite rotation and we were under it. Pulled ahead of the storm about 5 to 6 miles to get this next set of jaw dropping images.

Late July 2023...
This month of storms was just down right jaw dropping. Why not continue since we didn't have any storms in May or June! Overtime for July is the way I like it!
90% of the time of year in South Central Nebraska is Hot & Humid. It is normally the beginning of our dry season. But not in 2023.
In the path of the Jet Stream that day that forced some severe thunderstorm development over south central Nebraska. We were not excepting anything super severe but a tornado or 2 is always possible this time of year.
Gear Primed & excited about the views I'm going to get for this event that day. I knew they were going to be photogenic.

2017 Storm Season in south central Nebraska really hasn't been. Until this storm.
I wasn't feeling that good that afternoon. Had a touch of the crud, and energy level was way down. I honestly had no plans to chase storms that afternoon.
The storms that afternoon were moving the from east to the west. (This is RARE in Nebraska) As these storms had been brewing and raging most of the afternoon in north central Nebraska. Most of these had died and parts had reformed or backbuilded throughout late afternoon. Seen that a few of my other chaser friends from StormViewLive.com were out and streaming and these developing cells. I simply couldn't miss this....The rest is history....
Now positioned just to the west of Eustis Nebraska. In some of these captures you can see the water tower from city of Farnam. I wasn't able to get ahead the storm, though just as good, as I got right along side this monster.
Perfect timing, perfect light, and the perfect storm... what more could I ask for!!!! You Gotta Love Nebraska!
It simply was the best structured photographic beauty that I wait for each year. It is, in my own personal opinion, this set of images are my Best Captures of 2017.

First Moderate Risk in South
Central Nebraska & North Central Kansas.
A short jaunt down the severe weather risk area that day from Kearney Nebraska. Arrived in Alma Nebraska a tad behind schedule. The storm was already tornado warned and produced a tornado southwest of Alma. Storm was raging and I wasn't in a good place. Had to core punch this storm & headed east via Hwy 136. That's were this collection of images starts.
I was east bound on Hwy 136 that skirts the border of Nebraska / Kansas. This would take me deep into the Moderate Risk for that severe weather day. Instability was visible everywhere out in front of this storm. A Mammatus Cluster with a wall cloud was right in front of me while another supercell was producing tornadoes behind my current location.
Wicked Beautiful Supercell Structure as I got up close & personal. Especially by Franklin Nebraska where I encountered my first Tornado of 2022.
East then north out of Red Cloud Nebraska. The storms were still producing severe weather but was exiting fast out of my range. End this day with a spectacular view of the backside of the storm. A huge mammatus cloud cluster to enjoy as I was heading home!

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..

Well its be close to a month since I've actually been out chasing. July 2019 in South Central Nebraska has been hot and dry... for the most part. Another reason for my absence is my trusty storm chasing truck is on her last leg. I've had transmission problems and the wheel bearings are going out on 2 of the tires. Its 20 years old and she has taken good care of me and my storm chasing adventures over the past. I'm going to have to retire her instead of putting more money into the till for her to get fixed. I have new truck being custom built for storm chasing in 2020. She has been ordered and will be picking it up in September.
Oh yeah... we have had severe storms in the State of Nebraska, both West and East throughout the month of July. By the time they would even get to our location in the South Central Region of the state....they were just rain showers. More flooding rains to the east a about a week ago 3rd time for some of the folks in the state. I'm sure the farmers are not to happy and are waiting for harvest to start.
So with that being said...I did get out just once in July. On a night that the storms were perking and it was late. Extremely tired but you all know when it comes to lightning, I don't miss a beat! Opportunities are rare this time of year and I really never miss a storm. Especially if it is close! I couldn't resist!

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!

Dramatic storm clouds gather in a tumultuous sky as they reflect on the calm waters of a lake below. The contrast between the dark, threatening clouds and the pockets of warm sunlight near the horizon creates a scene filled with tension and natural beauty.

Storm 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.
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

Hwy 2 Bound Northwest...
Boiling afternoon temps... was a relief when the the cloud cover finally covered the sun that afternoon. From about 103 to 85 was a welcomed relief. I would be in the thick of it soon.
Strong Updrafts on storm cells to my due south. Though believe or not they weren't even on radar as I was traveling northwest to catch this batch of severe weather. Normal for this time of year here.
I was on my way for some Nebraska Thunderstorm Eye Candy! I wouldn't be disappointed that afternoon!

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!

We had a early Moderate Risk just about 100 miles to my south of Kearney Nebraska. Meaning... My back yard. It was the first set of storm cells in South Central Nebraska & North Central Kansas.
Just to the northeast of Beaver City Nebraska I encountered a nice photogenic storm cell that had just went to a severe warned status. I paused a few mins to get my bearings a caught a few snaps!
A Kewl HD Video to Boot! Some good footage of rotation on the furthermost point south of the storm. On the South side of Phillipsburg Kansas. Its to big to put on Flickr ...Link on over to my YouTube Channel to view the Video youtu.be/3K8Av9Q00L0

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!

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.

Watch this Epic Video from that afternoon on Flickr Click Here
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 never did catch a tornado due the RFD getting undercut. Simply meaning that it wouldn't produce just south of Yuma Colorado via Hwy 59. Once the storm became outflow dominate it was picture perfect. We had made several stops on Hwy 36 Eastbound. Beautiful structure close to Kirk Colorado and south of Wray. Pure Storm chasing eye candy!!!
Once we got into Kansas by St. Francis and Bird City we were loosing light fast but the it was picture perfect for viewing this incredible storm cell.
We had a long drive back after the last light of the day and this storm was to intensify. It did, making our trip back a little more interesting than expected. This part is not on video, but we became the hunted as this storm really intensified. 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 safely. 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 and another possible one north of Beaver City. That was not in the plan for that evening and it definitely got our attention.

This particular set..... We were approaching this from the north Hwy 183 south of Comstock Nebraska 8:50pm
I had Extreme Pleasure to have Matt Granz flic.kr/ps/2fL7L5 & Tom Luker that afternoon and evening. Fellow chasers, all of us after another Epic Nebraska Storm Chasing Event! Matt & I met on Flickr years ago... Our passion for Severe Weather Photography is a crazy obsession / passion for both of us. Kewl how FLICKR did this. Now we actually got to chase together for a day... More planned for 2019
We got to the location early that afternoon. Hoping that the action would start early. Though my haunch, or my gut feeling told me it was going to be an evening event. The anticipation was high.
That afternoon we spent west of Sargent Nebraska chasing the developing pulse storms before the actual dry-line emerged. This was just the beginning of an insane night. 3 Night Tornadoes, which I didn't see but was damn close to all of them that evening.
This was was the beginning of an incredible outflow boundary at sunset. The first true storm that evening. It was what were were waiting for all day. A beautiful Nebraska Severe Thunderstorm... @ Sunset
A Nebraska Thunderset....

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.
This is where most say I'm just simply down right nuts.... I had to get closer.
I've done this so many times I don't get nervous at all. Simply stating. I know what is safe & what is not. If you want the good pics / video. You gotta get into the action... but do is safely. Again Storm chasing isn't for everyone. But for me its what I do best!

We had sporadic cells developing for most of the evening. Nothing of any significant vaule for lightning photography.
Developing storm cells in North Central Kansas showed promise as we headed south and got into position right outside of Franklin Nebraska.
This storm was cresting due northeast, and we were in the perfect position. We pulled over for a few minutes to get these incredible captures.

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.
Stepped out to the front of the house and directly due southeast of Kearney was this incredible thunderhead display on the back side of this storm. The sun had finally peaked out from the western cloud cover and was really illuminating the back side of this storm.
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!

Late May 2018, Nebraska, south central to be correct. Some good moisture from the Gulf, with the normal heating of the day can produce these small pulse cells. Though not enough sheer to make any of these severe enough to produce any type of tornadic storm.
With no serious storms to chase.... doesn't mean there is nothing picturesque to take. Cells were forming out to my northeast to the southeast. No matter where I pointed my lens that afternoon, there was some incredible stormscapes to take.

Out of the hospital and some time behind me to heal. With my wife's permission I was allowed to enjoy a few more chase days before the storm season ended. We get this small opportunity in the month of September for severe weather and I wasn't going to miss a beat.
Severe storms now starting to form just to the southwest of South Central Nebraska. Warnings were already issued for 4 counties south of us and it was building and moving my way.
Since I haven't been out in close to a month, I packed up all the gear and went out early to catch some beautiful light and bubbling thunderheads before before the show...

September 29, 2021 - Kearney Nebraska US
Late September....
Very late in the Storm Season
Apparently I didn't go through all my images thoroughly!
Enjoy these GEMs of some of night photography in 2021. Outflow dominate till it reached Kearney Nebraska. Then this storm got its severe thunderstorm warning and we actually have a small cuplet (small but you can see in this set of images. It only lasted for about 2 mins it lasted and it was night so there were not that many pics @15 intervals)
Thought it was going to produce a brief nader but it didn't. Nice structure for this late in the year and I waited til the last second to leave to get under the belly of the beast!
There might be more but likely this will be my last batch of 2021.
Enjoy!

Dark storm clouds loom over a rural landscape, with sun rays piercing through in the distance. A long road stretches through green fields, leading towards the horizon under an ominous sky.

Finally a good setup for severe weather and were were on time for the event. Shortly after 4pm CDT were in the Moderate Risk area for that afternoon. Arapahoe Nebraska was our destination. Traveled a few miles south to get the best open position before the storms. Pointing the cameras due southwest, this is were they were to develop and become severe.
Towers were already forming and were were under the first cells of the day. These would become the tornadic cells just north of Alma Nebraska that late afternoon.
Always watching this process of the storm is interesting. How the clouds form before the storm into the storm... Plus they are always photographic eye candy!

Day 6 in a row of severe storms with our chase day starting northern Kansas.
Good friend and fellow storm chaser Chuck Patient was on the ride along that day.
We had gone through a few good rain bans on the way south out of Nebraska into northern Kansas when out of the blue just to the west of our location this incredible wall cloud formed briefly, and stuck around for a few minutes before it became rain wrapped.
As far as I know this did not produce a funnel, but the rotation sure was incredible to watch live!

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.

Well its be close to a month since I've actually been out chasing. July 2019 in South Central Nebraska has been hot and dry... for the most part. Another reason for my absence is my trusty storm chasing truck is on her last leg. I've had transmission problems and the wheel bearings are going out on 2 of the tires. Its 20 years old and she has taken good care of me and my storm chasing adventures over the past. I'm going to have to retire her instead of putting more money into the till for her to get fixed. I have new truck being custom built for storm chasing in 2020. She has been ordered and will be picking it up in September.
Oh yeah... we have had severe storms in the State of Nebraska, both West and East throughout the month of July. By the time they would even get to our location in the South Central Region of the state....they were just rain showers. More flooding rains to the east a about a week ago 3rd time for some of the folks in the state. I'm sure the farmers are not to happy and are waiting for harvest to start.
So with that being said...I did get out just once in July. On a night that the storms were perking and it was late. Extremely tired but you all know when it comes to lightning, I don't miss a beat! Opportunities are rare this time of year and I really never miss a storm. Especially if it is close! I couldn't resist!

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.

It was my last hurrah for 2017.
Hwy 183 Northbound..
It took some time, and I didn't waste any to get back into position.
The winds were ferocious. I couldn't keep a steady shot. I jimmy rigged it and finally got it steady enough in the wind to get these final shots of the year.
It was worth my time and effort this day. Some of my best to end the 2017 Storm Chasing Season.

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.

Dark thunderous clouds stretch across the sky with a hint of light peeking through in the distance, illuminating the horizon above a wide expanse of green fields. The scene captures the contrast between the shadowy night sky and the faint thunderstorm glow on the horizon.

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!!!

Rare for Nebraska in November that is....
There was some risk of severe weather that afternoon. In fact.... way out of season severe weather. There was just enough instability by afternoon to allow the thunderstorms to develop, strengthen, and even spin up a few tornadoes in the 4-5 p.m. CST time frame.
I had a 5 hour drive back from Missouri and was exhausted. Plus I had to work in a few hours so chasing this storm was just not possible that afternoon. But I did venture out to capture a few snaps of that afternoons events.
Pictured here were the cells effecting the Red Cloud to Clay Center Nebraska areas. I was just to the south of the I-80 Minden Interchange. Found a cozy spot without any powerlines and pointed my camera to the east southeast.
Some amazing captures to finalize my severe weather photography for 2016

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!

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!!!

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.

Late July 2023...
This month of storms was just down right jaw dropping. Why not continue since we didn't have any storms in May or June! Overtime for July is the way I like it!
90% of the time of year in South Central Nebraska is Hot & Humid. It is normally the beginning of our dry season. But not in 2023.
In the path of the Jet Stream that day that forced some severe thunderstorm development over south central Nebraska. We were not excepting anything super severe but a tornado or 2 is always possible this time of year.
Gear Primed & excited about the views I'm going to get for this event that day. I knew they were going to be photogenic.

Unusual yes.... To see severe thunderstorms in Nebraska in the morning hours of April... But it is what it is. Of course I'm not gonna miss a beat. I had gear packed and was ready the night before.
HRRR models had storms starting to develop about 5am ish to my west southwest and the models were right on spot that morning. Though I slept in till about 7 and was off without coffee and hopped into the truck to chase these morning cells.
Nice structure in the beginning but they eventually all when high based. Not many but some good photo's on this jaunt. It was worth my time!

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!

Was quite surprised to see storms develop out in the western part of Nebraska that day. The cold front had pushed into the state by early afternoon and severe storms were forming. Severe weather watches were posted for Dawson and Custer counties. Storms were moving at 10mph and I had plenty of time to catch up to them from Kearney.
Storm warnings for cells in western Dawson county promoted me to position myself to the south of Ansley. Found my favorite road called Box Elder and waited. Impressive Hail Core and developing shelf cloud was just to good to pass up!

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 til it was about a mile away then I would head north again to a safer / better viewing position.

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....

This set of images were few... It was extremely hot that day. 102 on the thermometer and 112 on heat index. I squeezed every drop of
photographic energy that afternoon.
Finally my new camera and lens were in hand after I had smashed the last one a few week prior. I knew we were bound to get some pulse storms before the severe storms popped on the Nebraska Kansas Border. I couldn't resist to get out. I had missed a few opportunists that past week.
I still wasn't feeling good, in fact my condition would get much worse before better. So simply no chasing that afternoon. Equipment charged and ready to go. A time lapse was on for that afternoon. A few hours of footage from a distance... Oh I took a few snaps also!
