Finally a good chase day I can brag about....

 

A moderate risk day in South Central Nebraska, with storm forming on the western side of Dawson County & counties due south and southwest.

 

The first batch of severe cells were upon me as I was just south of Oconto Nebraska. Small hail, gustnados, and torrential rain accompanied these first severe cells.

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.

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.

 

First Stop Beaver City just for a few mins. This is where the storm intensified and we had a well defined Meso on this storm with all the extras.

 

We were still a few miles ahead of this beast and safe. Plenty of time to stop and have a picnic.... A well 4 course meal of Storm Photography!

It was simply one of the best storm chases for 2015. As night was upon us we still had a 3 hour drive back home.

 

Its that time of year when storm cells redevelop out in western Kansas / Nebraska and just go on all night. We were in the path of most of these redeveloping cells on that nights drive back.

 

Intense cc and cg lightning accompanied these cells. I can't say that I didn't stop and take a few captures....

It is our Hot and Dry season...

 

Overnight storms can this time of year can be nasty. Due to how slow they move and how much rain they produce if any. Reason why I say this. August thunderstorms in Nebraska are usually dry storms. Simply meaning we don't get a lot of moisture out of them. Lots of bark and growls (lightning and thunder) but usually none of the severe weather bite.

 

Lots of photogenic structure and a ton of cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning... What a storm! Click Click Click!

 

Late Night Storm Chasing is not for everyone! But it is for me!

Solo Chase Day & Close to Home....

 

Luv it when the chases are in my backyard. Not having to drive 3 states and 1200 miles in 1 day is relief. I know I'm not the only chaser that says that. This was a phenomenal afternoon of severe weather. When I say this... It means that its photogenic & for the most part not effecting the farms, agriculture, livestock & the human element.

 

Mammatus before the storm, then I decided to bail on this first storm for the next which was to the north about 25 miles. This storm had wicked good rotation under the base. Even though it was high based it was producing some freakin awesome views.

 

The storm had overtaken my position and I had a 40 min drive to get back in front of this storm. It was on my tail the whole way back to the I-80 corridor. Though a little late I was still able to get back in front of shelf cloud. The teeth on the outflow were almost scraping the ground. It gave the effect of a funnel but it was not. Been doing this to long to make sure I know the difference.

 

That was a hoot. Though I waited til the last minute. I got swallowed by the core & had to wait it out. Want to see what its like out in the open with no shelter... This I have also done a billion times. 50mph winds rocked my truck! That was fun!

 

Finally, I blazed it backed to Kearney for this Storms Finale... Beautiful Sunset light illuminates the exiting storm with a Anvil Rain & Mammatus Cluster ... It was truly a Sight to See!!!!

Late June Storm, severe warned and moving my way...

 

Packed and Saddled and ready for that afternoon's events. Getting fulled up and looking due southwest. Towers were exploding and we had nice crystal clear air in front of this storm. The Severe Warning was for winds and hail. We just didn't have enough shear with this storm for it to be come tornadic.

 

Outflow Dominate it shall be... Oh this was going to be one to remember! Most of these captures came from south of Kearney, about 14-15 miles just north of the NTV Studios.

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.

July 9, 2014 - North of Minden Nebraska US

 

What a Day to remember...

 

I was just out of surgery for my left knee, I wasn't supposed to be out at all. Knee was swollen to the size of a soft ball or bigger. Wrapped & in a cast but I wasn't about to let one of the best photographic storms of the season pass me by. Mrs & Friends helped me into my truck. Gear in hand I was off!

 

Before I was able to get on this storm. Historically, this storm wrecked havoc on 16 counties with softball and baseball sized hail. I caught up with it just to the south of Minden Nebraska as I was traveling south. I would never get in front of it but only on the back side as it proceeded to the southeast into North Central Kansas.

 

From my point of view, it was one of the best photographic storm of the year in South Central Nebraska. Some incredible captures from the back side of this incredibly photogenic thunderstorm. Light & Shadow played well as the Sun peaked out at the end of this day!

Didn't have that much luck that day... though on my way back into southwest Nebraska. I got alongside another developing cell. It was loosing steam but sure was photogenic.

 

Nice defined outflow boundary, and she did remain severe for about 40 mins then everything just went HP (High Precip) and nothing to chase. Everything started to develop to my northwest and it was out of range. No way was I going to catch up with those new storm cells.

 

Nothing bad about a bust storm chasing day. There will always be another... In the end.. It was a good chase 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.

 

Just wanted to see if I still had in me to capture that surreal Nebraska Sunset!

Almost late June 2020, and the severe weather season has been just down right horrible for anything of photographic value this year. I mean this when I say Chase Locally. Due to Health issues, Truck maintenance issues, Equipment Issues, Camera Issues... With all that has been going on in my life, I've had to pick my chasing days and nights carefully this year. To be 100% Honest... I'm just happy I get to chase! Never let bad things set you back when the opportunity presents itself. That's my motto!

 

Luckily I had all my gear ready to go when when had strong severe thunderstorms develop in north central Nebraska and they were cresting southward down to south central Nebraska. My home turf.

 

This time of year is when everything changes weather wise here in south central Nebraska. Monsoons down in the southwest part of the US are firing and that usually means for us no storms. Not in 2020. Even though we had a late start to severe weather season here... mother nature hasn't let me down so far. She has remained active in my neck of the woods.

 

All the storms this day were outflow boundary generated storms. Meaning no tornadoes this day. Though I did capture 1 funnel, you'll see this in the video. Though with outflow dominate storms shelf clouds form and they can be more than picturesque. Its what I was hunting for this day! Oh did I get some and then some!

It was our 1st official storm chase of 2015. It sure was not a disappointment.

 

Waiting for over 3 hours in Grand Island for storms to pop, they eventually cracked about 5:30pm....Cells were going severe as warnings were just issued for counties to the west of us and this cell was developing just south of Fullerton Nebraska.

 

Enjoy this phenomenal panorama capture as the cells were just going severe!

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.

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.

 

Cresting strong storm cells now building just to the southwest of us. Yes they were severe, but nothing tornadic. We had strong wind gust causing gustnados, and some good hail.

 

I wasn't about to give up shop. I know for a fact that these are the perfect photographic opportunities with sun just about set. I couldn't resist. Plastic covering my camera, coat on and I was snapping away!

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!

 

I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best photography to date...

 

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....

Now close to 9:30-9:45ish, and the storm went from severe to tornado warned in about 20 mins.

 

I got due south and under the storm. I had the perfect ambient light. It was surreal. Tons of cc & cg lightning strikes were contentious.

 

I couldn't have asked for better

light and storm. Both were perfect... Click Click Click...

I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.

 

Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.

 

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.

Our storm season is coming to an end, I wasn't about to miss out on one of Mother Natures last showing of Electrical Theater...in South Central Nebraska.

 

First round of storms hit about 5am. Sound asleep, my wife was shaking me, get up, get up.. I was prepared in case the storms erupted. There was so much lightning, it illuminated everything in the room. Grabbed my essential gear, headed out of the house, opened garage door and the 45mph wind gust made the rain go horizontal. Pea sized hail was ferociously coming down, I wasn't going anywhere.....

 

I was honestly disappointed, thinking that I had probably missed my last good opportunity for some incredible nighttime storm captures. Storms were supposed to fire in the early overnight not early morning.....

 

Hence living in Nebraska, patience has to be a virtue for every storm enthusiast. I went out after the first storms pushed through. I was about to capture some of my best of storm snaps of 2013. I was in luck, as strong thunderstorm redevelopment just off to the southwest....

 

The 2nd round of storms were producing some incredible Cloud to Cloud, and tons of Cloud to Ground Lighting. I couldn't have asked for a better photo opportunity!

 

I was hoping that these won't be the last shots of 2013, the were not.... Definitely worth my time catching them that early morning! Eye Candy for the Storm Chaser in Mind!

Now back in South Central Nebraska... We were about to experience the strongest outflow boundary of the year. 110-120 mph winds were accompanied by this super strong beast. Tons of cloud to cloud lightning and beautiful arcus shelf cloud structure was beautiful view as she approached from the southwest.

 

Now moving almost directly due east we had to jimmy south to Alma Nebraska from Hwy 89 to get back in front of this monster. Believe it or not, the calm before the storm was evident here. No wind until the shelf came over our heads and then we got hit hard. Luckily we had gear already prepped and put away as headed north as soon as this hit our location.

 

Though you know me... I waited till the very last second to get these captures!

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!

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.

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.

*** Remastered Series***

 

****

Editors Note...

 

Once a year a pull out a few sets from years past to start of the new year. In 2024 this year I have went back & revamped one of my favorite severe storms photo shoots of 2018

 

Back then I over colorized & over saturated the images. Pixelated & not my best work... Images were what I wanted but not the final product. If you want to see those to compare to these remastered images... here is your Flickr Link to that set of images...

Click Here

 

But these are Gems of Gems.. I've even added about 50+ images in this set that I wasn't able to work on back in 2018. I even made a video with the old images to kick off the 2023 season... You can watch this right here on Flickr... Click Here ** Please remember I used the old images in this video **

 

Lightning is my forte... It is why I chase storms. To have an photo opportunity come up like this & traveled only 6 blocks from my home to get these pics...Gotta Luv Nebraska!

 

***

About that evening...

 

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

 

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

August 13, 2019 on Flickr Click Here

 

Under the base of this storm, we already has meso detection. TVS markers were on radar and it was moving directly to Ogallala Nebraska.

We got there on time and stopped right off of the interstate at a gas station with the best view.

 

This highly photographic supercell was maturing. But at this moment... This storm decided to weaken just a bit as we waited for this cell to produced a nader. Lost the TVS marker so we didn't stay long and packed the gear and headed south towards Grant Nebraska.

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!

A dramatic stormy sky hovers over a lush green field, highlighted by a striking burst of lightning. The clouds create an intense contrast with the vivid greenery below, amplifying the sense of an impending tempest.

Now just north of Norton Kansas, storm cells were in severe warning stages and we were in the perfect position to get some excellent captures.

 

This cell was building and now shifting to the southeast. Incredible cc & cg lightning was illuminating the sky.

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!

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.

A long jaunt... 1200+ mile trip to see some clouds. But every second was worth it. Mother Nature wasn't going to be fickle on this day...

 

Had an invite to tag along with Trent Bosler and & Freddy McKinney down to chase the huge risk day down on the south west edge of Oklahoma. It paid off in dividends. 2 great people that I haven't had a chance to chase with before. Trent Bosler (with SVLMedia) & Freddy McKinney, and young and talented up and coming chaser. Both of these 2 gentlemen have refined skills on chasing storms. I went as an observer this day as I don't get this opportunity very much as I would like. To study how others do thing when it comes to storm chasing. Navigation, safety practices, and predictions. Believe me when I say I learned something about someone else's process, I did. Grateful that I got to come along and I respectfully learned from both of them. Things that I will take back and teach others that want to chase.

 

Late afternoon when we got to our destination. We stopped and got something to munch on @ Subway in Mangum. We had about an hour before the storm we were observing moved out the Childress Texas area and cross the border into southwest Oklahoma. We knew where we wanted to be and got to a location southwest of Mangum Oklahoma and patiently awaited out the outcome. We didn't have to wait long.

 

Initial reports indicate that the tornado had winds up to 212 miles per hour, making it an EF-4 or EF-5 tornado. A large debris cloud could be seen with this tornado as it moved through open fields. It caused some damage to homes and trees, but it missed the heart of the community & the chaser convergence...

I had the night off and we had 90% chance of severe weather developing after sunset. I was on a mission to capture some lightning. Though chasing these types of storms, watching them build and die sporadically this time of year in South Central Nebraska can be frustrating.

 

Simply we had find the right cells and get into intercept position in front of the storm. Not an easy task, but I wasn't going to be denied on this night's chase....

 

Waiting for the first cells to develop just to our west as warnings were just issued, we had this incredible sunset...

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.

My passion for Lightning never ends. It truly is the soul reason why I grab my gear & head out when others take shelter.

 

In my Opinion... this set of images is / has to list as one by best set of Lighting Captures EVER. That's saying a lot. Especially if you follow what I do.

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!

 

I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best severe weather photography to date...

 

I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.

 

Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.

 

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.

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....

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!!!!

Almost perfect conditions for severe weather that day in North Central Kansas and South Central Nebraska. Towers were in full force by 4:30pm and the NWS has issued waring for Buffalo County. Storm cells were only moving at 15mph to the north northwest and it was producing some quarter sized hail.

 

Got north of the hail core via Hwy 10. It (the hail core) was just dumping on the south side of this storm, so the plan was to move north northwest of the storm and see what I get.

 

Full fledged wall cloud was developing directly southwest. I had positioned myself to the north west of Pleasaton Nebraska to possibly get that special photographic opportunity.

 

I truly wasn't disappointed. It was in my terms... the perfect day!

If you’ve got a spare hour or so, what better way than to pass the time than lounging around, watching the balletic performance of clouds, especially if you’ve got someone to keep you hydrated with drinks during the performance.

 

There’s quite a dramatic scene being played out here which culminated in an impressive thunderstorm just a few hours later.

 

The upper clouds are Cirrus uncinus which are composed of gently falling ice crystals at about 20 000’. They’re also known as Mares tails and were a useful wind warning to Mariners and would make ‘tall ships carry low sails’.

The lower cauliflower clouds are Cumulonimbus calvus which grow rapidly, up to around 6500’ and are powered by the plentiful solar energy above. It may progress to form a Cumulonimbus capillatus and can reach up to 60 000’ making it the tallest structure on Earth. In the classification of clouds they are denoted as CL9, which may well be the origin of the phrase ‘on cloud 9’.

 

Pilots will often give these Cumulonimbus clouds a wide berth due to the turbulence and high water content which can lead to large amounts of ice forming on the aircraft.

C capillatus are the classic thunder and lightning storm clouds and may contain as much energy as 10 atomic bombs!

What’s even more amazing is that I’ve just seen an upside down rainbow, just this minute!!

Maybe that’s just too much nerdiness for one day, but if anyone is interested, let me know and I’ll post it.

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!

January 2020

 

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!

It storm chasing go time this time of year. Another phenomenal day of storm chasing was upon us in South Central Nebraska.

 

We had another moderate risk day, as the sky was again talking to me. Best of all this was going to be a local chase day.

 

The storm cell I was chasing most of the day had weakened and the boundary for severe weather was to my west. I had to get north and east via Hwy 36. Ended up parked just south of Phillips Nebraska.

 

This new cell had warnings on it as I was approaching from the east. Now with good rotation detected on this side of the storm. Building, and getting wound up, this storm meant business.

 

I was in the perfect position to capture another severe weather photographic treat....

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.

 

Some of best lighting captures of 2019! Enjoy!
