NE - O'Neill to Grand Island - TOR Bust

This was my longest chase yet, from O'Neill to Grand Island. Got a speeding ticket on my way to O'Neill. These two photos were shot somewhere between O'Neill and Grand Island. Photo 1 is of some mammatus. Photo 2 is of a Truck and Trailer vs. the Wind. Guess who won. Aurora recorded record size hail. I arrived just before the hail hit so hadn't been able to see any damage. I-80 fro GRI to OMA was just insane (pouring rain), so I wasn't about to turn back.

NE - Omaha - LTNG

Photographed in Northwest Omaha, Nebraska looking East. Obviously my best lightning chase so far. Simply had to go up the road to a church about 3 blocks away to do these shots. Shot on a Minolta DiMage 7i, most at 4" shutter speed.

IA - Crescent - LTNG

These photos were taken just west of Crescent, Iowa at about 4:30 AM.

NE - Omaha - LTNG

These were shot south of Omaha on Highway 50. Not a spectacular night, but there were some great colors to come out of this set!

NE - Norfolk to Jackson - TOR Bust

This was a chase Jeff Miller specifically told me to chase in Norfolk, Nebraska. Photo 1 is presumed a Meso, but I haven't received 100% verification on that. Photo 2 is a wall cloud that developed east of Norfolk, I think just west of Belden. Photo 3 is a funnel that began to drop from the storm. Can't remember the name of the town I was in when this was photographed, I'm pretty sure it was Belden, possibly Laurel.

NE - Louisville to Otoe - TOR Bust

This turned out to be a fabulous chase! After going down a gravel road which turned out to be mud and overheating my car... At least I got some nice shots of the rainbow and windmill.

NE - Omaha - LTNG

This was one of my first attempts with lightning. Taken near the old Sunset Speedway in Omaha looking northwest. The storm literally appeared from nowhere.

MO - Rockport to Tarkio - TOR Bust

Total bust here. All images were shot east of I-29, 1 and 2 were just before Rockport, the other two to the west of Tarkio. Storm was just moving too fast, I was never able to catch it.
