We saw this tornado from start to end, from forming to dissapation. My friend drove the car. He saw a hill to our right and immediatly drove up to it. I stared filming and captured the entire life cycle of the beast, 23 minutes. It turned out to be an F4 on the damage scale.
As we ran from the gigantic supercell, we had a second to stop and look for that ominous green colour. Spotters were reporting 3 and 4 inch hail in this core, and it's a green like nothing anyone in our group had seen before.
Lightning flashes illuminate churning monsoon storm clouds at Sunset Crater National Monument early on the morning of 11 August 2016.
First tornado!! Yeah, a huge HP mess, but it was awesome. This was taken near Lincoln, Nebraska. Left side of the tornado is above the car and sign. When we stopped near Cordova, you could hear the tornado sucking the earth. Craziest thing I've ever witnessed in my life.
SOOC minus crop.
I went storm chasing! I would've stayed on that hill all night ifI could have, it was amazing. I had a 360 few of the lightning. I made a video too, but I thought this one deserved to be here too.
You HAVE TO View On Black or else it really isn't worth it.
Ebbing shelf that drifted over Mormon Mountain this afternoon south of Flagstaff. Ongoing thunder with this as it approached but no CGs to be seen.
Ce puissant coup de foudre illumine la structure de l'arcus dont il émane et crame au passage la photo.

The storm behind the house just made it 10x better. We must have played in this spot for a half hour!
Last year's storm chase kicked off in Oregon and wound through Idaho & Montana on our way to the Plains. I was stretching for a visual twist on severe weather/landscape combinations and just really wanted to road-trip through there. We saw a few pretty storms up that way, but nothing outrageous. No matter what the weather was up to, the landscapes were spectacular.
One of several stops on the way through Helena National Forest along Hwy 12 in western Montana.
Southern Alberta delivered a beautiful, tornado warned, supercell! Great fun chasing today with Beth Allan Photography and bumping into some great friends along the road!
Thank-you, Foothills Magic for this strange little gift at the end of an otherwise unremarkable storm day

Captured this monster this evening as it marched up the Stuart Highway near McMinns Lagoon. Shot with my DJI Mini 3 Pro in Sphere mode to show its full scale.

Storm Chasing in South Central Kansas. This storm would later go on to drop a tornado near Cedar Vale Kansas.

When you go on a three-day stormchasing trip, you tend to get focused on one thing: storms. I think that's obvious enough. You usually have a ton of driving to do on an excursion like this so there isn't always a lot of time to spend dilly-dallying as my mom would say.
The fact that this isn't a storm photo should tell you something. The three-day trip was kind of a huge bust for me. The storms just didn't happen like they were supposed to and I'm having a rough time dealing with that today. Tons of driving...money...time away from family. I had amazingly high expectations for myself and I basically came away with nothing I had hoped to capture before leaving.
I'm not writing this for people to feel sorry for me. In fact, while I am on the verge of real sadness over this (probably the tiredness is playing a big part too), I see it as a positive for myself. It's a re-assurance of my passion for photography in general. Feeling this much disappointment over something as silly sounding as stormchasing kind of validates it all for me.
So today's image is a grain silo that was abandoned in the middle of western Kansas. Because when life gives you blue skies instead of supercells, you try to shoot something else. With a lot of time on my hands with no weather to photograph, I shot a lot of what I'm dubbing "FarmEx" instead of the normal "UrbEx."
I definitely wouldn't drive 2200 miles and spend gobs of money to see a bunch of abandoned farm houses and barns...but I'll tell you what: Kansas is full of that kind of stuff and you could go nuts shooting out there.
