In the Nebraska Panhandle this spring day, the storms erupted in the evening. As the National Weather Service put it, “One of the most significant outbreaks of severe weather to impact southeast Wyoming and the western Nebraska Panhandle in the past 30 years occurred on the afternoon and evening”. As the first storm passed over me and cleared the sky I was able to get this shot. There was a nice EF-2 tornado on the right side of this behind those huge dark clouds. I thought this picture came out nice, but it wasn’t until a few weeks later when I was initially going through the shots for the first time that I noticed there was a stray lightning bolt in this shot.
