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 should have kept in mind tornado producing conditions can occur at any time of the year, but I was surprised to see an Enhanced risk for severe weather for north central Kansas and southwestern Nebraska for the afternoon of the Aug. 29.

Supercell near McCook

Supercell near McCook

The result of my two hour mad dash cashing the tail of a tornadic supercell. The cell was approaching the west side of McCook as I stood in the middle of a soybean field snapping shots around 6:32 p.m.

Windmill and supercell

A shot I took around 6:09 p.m. I had pulled off the highway once I finally could make out the base of the storm through the rain. There was a tornado warning on the storm at this moment and I wanted to see if I could spot anything. Had I been here 15 minutes earlier I may have saw the last of the three tornadoes the storm produced.

Hay field and severe weather

Hay field and severe weather

Even as I made back for Lexington, the sky was still giving me chances for photos. I pulled over in rural southern Gosper County to get shots of the sunset and the severe weather which was entering Kansas, the field contrasted well with the dark clouds and orange sunset.
