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.
