June 5th, 2008 near Maryville, Missouri. Outflow boundary with a flash from lightning in the distance. Talk about windy! This same storm had a few tornado warnings on it earlier in the day and there were weather spotters everywhere! On my way back home there was a tornado warning in Savannah,Missouri and I just so happened to be driving through! I pulled over under an overpass just in case! Not the smartest place to be but I'd rather take my chances there than to drive on the highway into something! The lightning would light-up the sky and there were some VERY low clouds and lightning extremely close. A very eerie feeling. - Shane Kirk's Photos- powered by SmugMug

Shane Kirk > What a day! This was taken on June 20th, 2009 near Lebo, Kansas. This storm had several funnel clouds and a tornado. I chased this cell for a few hours. It was amazing to watch as it developed into a pretty wicked storm! Definitely the best chase to date!

Shane Kirk > I left for work a couple hours early so I could shoot for awhile before starting my day. There was an isolated storm and the morning sun coming-up made for some beautiful colors.
