June 7, 2009 - Supercells southeast Nebraska and northwest Missouri Chased in southeast Nebraska and then into Missouri. Earlier in the day was trying to figure out where I would cross the river if I had to...didn't expect to be in the long caravan that made it's way over the Rulo, NE bridge and then through Oregon, MO. I had hoped to be across the river earlier...I got suckered in watching that Richardson county storm too long. Ended up finally getting to the other side of the MO storm, after an interesting drive on I-29 getting the heck out from underneath that monster. I decided to go south and east a ways to avoid the traffic jam and just try to get some structure shots. I sat north of Cameron, MO till about 8:30pm and then decided to head back home.   Supercell near Salem, NE looking northwest - June 7, 2009   Supercell near Salem, NE looking northwest - June 7, 2009

March 23, 2009 - Tornado warned storm near Seward, NE and then Tornadic storm just east of Lincoln, NE


Tornado warned storm just north of the Milford, NE exit on I-80. Looking west.

Left Lincoln around 2pm, headed west towards Seward, NE.  Waited near truck dealership just north of I-80 Seward, NE exit for 30 minutes or so.  Tried to get in position on a cell moving up from the south towards my location, was able to get a decent view of the cell near the Milford, NE exit.  Couldn't really tell if that lowering was rotating but still caught my attention.  Then decided to head east to get in position on new cells moving north.  

Tornadic Storm just east of Lincoln, NE - March 23, 2009  - Chase Cam capture
Location: 148th and 'A', looking directly south as storm is moving north/northeast.

Was just north of this cell as it skirted just east of Lincoln, NE.  I should have gone further east past Eagle to be in a better position on this cell, but ended up getting caught up in the core as it was moving towards me around 60mph.  I was happy to at least see some structure of this storm, there was SO much dirt being kicked up from the 40+mph winds making it extremely difficult to see anything.  Overall a good chase to test out some new chase gear and the live video feeds, along with a few lessons learned on staying in position.
