My biggest hobby is weather.  I enjoy forcasting and predicting weather.  I also chase tornadoes and take pictures of weather events.  As you can see I am a weather fanatic.  Here you can see a few of my better pictures.

These Pictures were taken just above Dana College at Neihardt Park in Blair Nebraska.  It was May 24th 2003 just several days before I went to Japan.  A severe storm had just passed and the sunset began.  The sights up on this hill were just amazing.

This was a severe thunderstorm to the north east of Bennington over in Iowa.  I took this picture from the front of my new house.  This was in April of 2004.  Golf ball sized hail came out of this storm

This was the biggest and most powerful of all storms I have ever caught.  The date was May 22nd 2004 at 7:16 the tornado dropped ouf of the storm This thing was very dangerous and powerful.  I was chasing the storm 4 miles west of Blair when a tornado dropped out of it for about 2 minutes.  Then funnels kept going up and down but not touching the ground.  When the storm moved into Blair Nebraska it packed 70mph winds and golf ball to baseball size hail for 35 minutes.  It was so crazy.  My car got a few dents because of this one.  Many windows were broken and roofs damaged.  Just about everyone needed a new roof.

This little cell is actually a severe thunderstorm about 25 miles west of my home in Bennington Nebraska.  Made a great sunset but died when the sun went down.  The date was  August 16th 2004
