ELM CREEK — So I think karma might be paying me back for always going out on a chase and hoping to see a tornado. It’s a different feeling when that red polygon is dropped right over your house.

Storm Chasers Log 6-30-20: Old Fashioned Thunderstorm

  • Brian Neben Lexington Clipper-Herald

It doesn’t always have to be about tornadoes, clear slots, and core punching. Sometimes you just need a photogenic thunderstorm in Nebraska in late June to make an enjoyable chase.

    Storm Chasers Log: 2019 Season Recap

      I feel extremely fortunate after this 2019 severe weather season. On May 17 I fulfilled a goal I have been pursuing since I was a child, I witnessed a tornado on the ground. As a bonus it was in Dawson County, my territory as a newspaper reporter.

      Storm Chasers Log 8-29-19: Catching Up

        I will fully admit, I had all but written off the 2019 severe weather season. My mind was more on Husker football than it was on severe weather on Thursday, Aug. 29. Yet weather never ceases to surprise me…or humble me.

                I have noticed a pattern during my 2019 storm chases, I pick a target, second guess that target, go to my backup and tornadoes form at the target I first considered.
