-Energy Trifecta- A unique image showing three symbols of energy in 1) the obvious cloud-to-ground lightning flash, 2) a coal power-generating plant, and 3) a mature corn crop which can be used for ethanol production

Dramatic cloud-to-ground flash at around 3:30am between Luray and Osborne, KS on 16 July 2011. A full moon at my back provided just enough light to illuminate the foreground landscape

chase update 1150am. Leaving ogallala for McCook. Like the ESE winds in north-central KS with upper 70s dewpoint. Lunch in McCook then mosey east-southeast perhaps?

Chase Day July 15: Target Northern KS/Southern NE along a stationary front and near the 70-degree dewpoint air at the nose of the excessive heat plume. Models suggest storm development this area

chase update 10pm. After a frustrating beginning to the chase, photographed beautiful laminar, multi-tiered structure Sterling to Iliff to Crook, CO
I am now letting the storm roll over me along I-80 near Sunol, NE
(east of Sidney) hoping for some lightning on the backside of the
storm. I will the head east to Ogallala where I have a motel
reservation for the night. Fun chase, good images!!
