Album Weather, Storms and Clouds

[Glasterpiece]

yesterday I went storm chasing for the first time this year. We had some great monsoon pattern the last two days, more is on its way.

Very nice. I'm getting excited about another storm season in the desert. For now I watch the chases on TVNWeather.com there's a Miss Buffalo that posts there. I wondered...

Weather? Now here's a topic I like. Lots of weather out here in the plains!

Missouri River lit up by lightning

This storm dropped several tornadoes in NW Iowa

Some family got hit by that one, they lost a lot of grain bins.

This photo is from the last couple minutes of the life of the tornado that hit Pilger, NE last year.

This storm sat in the Coleridge, NE area for an excruciatingly long time dropping tornadoes. I have never seen such intense lightning or a more amazingly formed storm.

Last week we had some starting storms (mix of snow and rain) during the afternoon and early evening. I hopped in the Mazdadon and took off in search of some epic sunset conditions. This was at the tail end of the sunset as the storms moved back in and all definition in the clouds were lost.. got a bit wet trying to get back through the farm field I was using, while keeping the cattle from escaping with me.

Had another set of storms move through the area this past weekend. Brought with them some hail, rain and thunder boomers.

Not the best, but I was in a hurry. From a small storm system that came through this evening.

Set the time machine for last Friday (my wild Friday nights are a bit different than those of others...) chasing lightning and clouds

Summer Storms at Grandview Point, Canyonlands National Park

on my road trip I got a few really nice storms. Not as many as I wished, but a few got me really exited.
A bit earlier I was right in the middle of this multiple warned cell at Mount Rushmore, but as soon as it started to become a high precipitation super cell, I left and tried to find a good spot at the edge of the storm.
I finally found it and that thing was so full of energy that it released a few hundred lightning bolts every minute.
This is a simple single exposure of 15 seconds

A storm clears over the Eastern Sierra. Taken on the 395 somewhere between Big Pine and Independence.
