Good luck and stay safe, Darren!
Looking forward to seeing what you come back with.

Thanks for the comments guys and gals. Yes, the one things we've got
is extreme weather. Nebraska goes from sub-zero in the winter to over
100F in the summer and the spring gives us tornado season. Yesterday
was a bonus. TODAY is The Day I've been looking at for a week. The
forecast has held and it looks like many supercells and tornadoes
likely in north central KS and into southern NE. I'll be heading out
mid-afternoon.

That is a great shot, Darren!
I'm glad we don't get quite as many big storms as you guys do out there on
the plains, but it sure does make for some dramatic photography.

Had a fun little "backyard" chase in Custer County (the county north
and west of my home county of Buffalo). I walked out of a hardware
store and saw what appeared to be an atom bomb that had gone off to my
northwest. I checked radar on my iPad to see how far away it was
(distances can be deceiving out here on the plains). To my surprise it
wasn't even showing (yet) on radar. As luck would have it it was
exactly midway between two radar stations and so (due to the curvature
of the earth) had to get very tall before it was seen by either one).
As luck would have it, it was only about an hour's drive. When I
caught up to it, I found a very pretty little low precipitation (LP)
supercell. It was a slow mover and this is what it looked like a
couple of hours later, just east of the hamlet of Westerville,
Nebraska.

Hope you enjoy it.
