June 12 Storm Chase & Lightning

[Fotografer]

June 12 had the storms throughout the plains states, and even into the great lakes region. I ended up in Kansas, between Emporia and Wichita throughout the afternoon/evening and into the early nighttime hours. Several images came from the days chase, several including daytime lightning captures which is the first ever for me! The lightning was definitely intense, and gave us a scare once as it struck ~100 yards <b>behind</b> us while parked. Needless to say we moved a little further right after that occurred...</p>
