I was driving through central Nebraska yesterday on my return trip from camping in Utah. I ran into this thunderstorm west of Kearney, Nebraska (where I stayed for the night). It was raining/hailing so hard that at one point I pulled to the side of the road. I stuck my GoPro Hero 3 Black up on the dashboard taking one photo/second…caught a few lightning strikes!

Early to mid July on the plains of Nebraska.
Strong storm cells producing some Tornadoes by Gothenburg & Cozad Nebraska. (West of my location) would eventually move into south central Nebraska.
I wasn't able to chase till it got closer due to I had to work that afternoon. Once free from my work responsibilities.... I did eventually get out to get the shots but the cell was already dying as it entered northern Phelps County Nebraska.
Some where between Funk and Holdrege Nebraska I stopped and got into position to get these snaps before this cell died away. Sometimes the end of the storm is just as good as the storm going in full rage. This was one of those photographic opportunities I didn't miss.

I love visiting the Sandhills of Nebraska, but it is hard to capture the immensity and beauty of the region in a photograph. But I'll keep trying.
Interesting corn facts: 1. Each acre of corn has over 24,000 corn plants. 2. It takes 77 ears of corn to make a bushel. 3. This irrigated corn yielded over 200 bushels per acre. Buffalo County, Nebraska.

A lazy afternoon into early evening.... forecast was for some light rain. Which usually means nothing worth getting my camera wet.
Though its late April and Nebraska skies never disappoint. Some beautiful and interesting skyscapes were upon us

Nebraska is a Great Plains state of the United States. Nebraska gets its name from a Chiwere word meaning "flat water", after the Platte River that flows through the state. Once considered part of the Great American Desert, it is now a leading farming state. Nebraskans have practiced scientific farming to turn the Nebraska prairie into a land of ranches and farms. Much of the history of the state is the story of the impact of the Nebraska farmer. Nebraskans are sometimes colloquially referred to as "Cornhuskers" (which is derived from the state nickname).
Geography
Nebraska is bordered by South Dakota to the north; Iowa to the east and Missouri to the southeast, across the Missouri River; Kansas to the south; Colorado to the southwest; and Wyoming to the west. Nebraska has 93 counties; it also occupies the central portion of the Frontier Strip.
Nebraska is composed of two major land regions: the Dissected Till Plains and the Great Plains. The easternmost portion of the state was scoured by Ice Age glaciers; the Dissected Till Plains were left behind after the glaciers retreated. The Dissected Till Plains is a region of gently rolling hills; Omaha and Lincoln are located within this region.
The Great Plains occupy the majority of western Nebraska. The Great Plains itself is comprised of several smaller, diverse land regions, including the Sandhills, the Pine Ridge, the Rainwater Basin, the High Plains and the Wildcat Hills. Panorama Point, at 5,424 feet (1,653 m), is the highest point in Nebraska; despite its name and elevation, it is merely a low rise near the Colorado and Wyoming borders.
A past Nebraska tourism slogan was "Where the West Begins"; locations given for the beginning of the "West" include the Missouri River, the intersection of 13th and O Streets in Lincoln (where it is marked by a red brick star), the 100th meridian, and Chimney Rock.
History
On May 30, 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act created the Kansas Territory and the Nebraska Territory, divided by the Parallel 40° North. The territorial capital of Nebraska was Omaha.
In the 1860s, the first great wave of homesteaders poured into Nebraska to claim free land granted by the federal government. Many of the first farm settlers built their homes out of sod because they found so few trees on the grassy land.
Nebraska became the 37th state in 1867, shortly after the American Civil War. At that time, the capital was moved from Omaha to Lancaster, later renamed Lincoln after the recently assassinated President of the United States Abraham Lincoln.
The Arbor Day holiday began in Nebraska, and the National Arbor Day Foundation is still headquartered in Nebraska City.
Prohibition in the U.S. was adopted in 1918, with Nebraska as the thirty-sixth state necessary to make the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution .
Nebraska has a long history of civil rights activism, starting in 1912 with the foundation of Omaha's National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter. Recent legislation proposed by Senator Ernie Chambers continues a legacy that includes the Black Panthers, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Creighton University's unique DePorres Club.

2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty belonging to the Nebraska State Patrol. This unit was recently upfitted and is ready to hit the road, but it sits here and waits for its Trooper to come and get it in Lincoln, NE at the Fleet Services. The NSP uses these larger Fords like this along with the Expedition for rural areas and snow use.
1993 Ford Mustang Special Service Package (SSP) belonging to the Nebraska State Patrol. Equipped with a 5.0 302ci Windsor Engine. These were favored over the Camaros for the higher ride. Since its time in service, it has been restored by a Trooper and it lives its life mainly in Lincoln but moves around the state for parades, events, etc. It still does perform pullovers and backup, if anyone remembers the article from The Drive. Back in the 90s, they were used statewide, not only in larger cities or highways.
