It feels oh so good to post this… finally some weather pics to share.

Drove all the way out to the west side of Nebraska. Got off of I80 before Sidney and headed up on dirt roads to catch up with some supercells. The amount of lightening that was thrown off was nothing short of impressive. But did I mention that the eastern-most cell prompted a tornado warning? Yeah, you can see the wall cloud below. What a fun evening!!
