Onweerseizoen 2022 werd na lang wachten evenwel geopend met veel spektakel. Toevallig in Welle vlak aan huis kwam het tot een bliksem feest!
Gemeen onweer nabij Virton afgelopen weekend. Wat een zonde dat de moeilijke regio mij dwong genoegen te nemen met een onaantrekkelijke locatie maar de structuren maakten alles goed!
After following a strong storm over the central part of the Netherlands, I ended up in the River IJssel valley close to the city of Deventer.
Here I was just on time to position myself in a good location.
After intercepting the line of storms just south of Rotterdam, I decided to let the shelf cloud come over me.
Windshear and instability were not too impressive, so I didn't expect it to remain a long-lived storm.
It produced a few positive lightning bolts before fading out. One of these cg+ can be seen on this image.
Great lightning show this morning on 21.07.2016 near Heilbronn (Baden-Württemberg).

Storm Chasing Video from night on Flickr Click Here
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!

The end of the stormchase of June 18th had a nice surprise for us: a beautiful well structured storm with distinct updraft and downdraft at sunset.
The colors of the clouds and landscape were amazing.....
A fabulous end to the day. I got bitten alive by giant mosquitoes but witnessing this was worth every single bite.
Quick cell phone shot, since I was installing my gear at that moment......
After a few weeks of rather boring weather, there was finally some thunderstorm activity in the Netherlands.
Sunday evening, July 25th, a small line of showers and thunderstorms moved towards the province where I live and I decided to give it a try.
The structure of the storm was awesome with a nice shelf cloud. Sometimes a strong blinding CG was visible below the base of the storm. More on that later.....
A thunderstorm with shelf cloud and upward lightning approached from the south.
The sun was in the west and shining beautifully on this storm.
It started raining and blowing while the sun was still shining and the lightning was getting dangerously close.
I had to crouch down and hold the tripod. The effort was finally rewarded with this photo.

An incredible day of chasing in Wyoming and to end it up in the Scottsbluff Nebraska area was just to good to be true. Some of my best stormscapes to this date!!!
The final 2 shots of the day were of these insane mammatus clouds on the outskirts of Scottsbluff Nebraska. A little blurry but I didn't care anymore... I was to tired to even shoot another capture... but I did.

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.

A dramatic sky looms over a rural landscape, with an imposing supercell storm cloud dominating the horizon. The open road cuts through lush fields, enhancing the sense of vastness and impending weather.

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.

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.
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.

I liked the way the clouds seemed to reflect the road.
From the archives: Somewhere in Texas, USA. 2017.
If you'd like see more images I took while storm chasing, take a look at my Storm Chasing album.
As well, I made two storm chasing time lapses from my trip, which you can check out on YouTube
Looking west toward Valle from about ten miles northeast of SP Crater tonight. Storms were further out than I was hoping. Telephoto mode engaged.

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!

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!

Crawler Lightning Over Central Texas, April 26, 2023.
Anvil crawler lightning, sometimes called spider lightning, is created when leaders propagate through horizontally-extensive charge regions in mature thunderstorms, usually the stratiform regions of mesoscale convective systems.
September 6th 2022, by chaser Jeroen. Monster supercell near the Dutch city of Bergen-Op-Zoom with fenomenal structure.

Our first non severe thunderstorms of the 2016 season.
I've been itching to get out to capture some Nebraska stormscapes. I was totally satisfied with that afternoons storm front that passed through about 6:30pm.
Not bad for my first batch of storm captures 2016!

It was a decent chase day (and night). As the storm moves away, there is a sharp boundary between that and the clear starry night sky. A distant bolt completes the frame.

After watching the Lamar tornadoes we decided to stay in Colorado and skipped the original target area (which was the Texas panhandle near Amarillo).
We chased a storm to the north, which had a tornado near Wild Horse. The photograph shows the wallcloud of this storm south of Kit Carson, CO.

After an evening of severe storm chasing... we had our 3rd round of storm come though. We were already back in Kearney, and had about an hour to spare. New cells were developing just to the south of us. Here is a few nice lighting captures from that night!
