 | About This Shoot | Date: 16 July 2011 | Location: North-central Kansas from east of Stockton to near Luray, KS | Shoot Type: Storm Chase | Rating: | Synopsis:
On my way home from Grand Island, NE where I ended the chase the night before, I ran into very electrical storms north of I-70. I decided to photograph these storms for a couple of hours from about 2:30 to 4:30am. Some of the lightning was very impressive, especially once the storm moved past me near Luray with the stars and a near-full moon coming out. I finally made it back home about 7:30am! |

Luray, KS lightning at 4:00am! (Images Part 1 of 2)
Summary & Images (part 1) | On my way home to Dodge City following the previous night's chase in
southern Nebraska, I came across nocturnal storms that were rather
electrical... making for a very nice photography opportunity! Because
of this, however, I didn't roll into my driveway until about an hour
after sunrise shortly after 7:00am! It was worth it :)
