Lightning gallery

As I get ready to head out to Tornado Alley in May, I'm looking back on past chases. I've compiled a new slide show of my lightning shots from over the years. Most are from Florida and Tornado Alley, though there's a favorite from Venice, Italy, too. See the lightning gallery

Tornado Alley report

My 2011 Tornado Alley chase concluded on May 30 with a pursuit of storms in Nebraska that produced dramatic structure, mammatus, a rainbow, hail and lightning. That's my car, above. See more May 30 pictures, or see all the chase 2011 photos. I'll be heading out to Tornado Alley again in May for the 2012 chase!


I caught multiple tornadoes in southeast Oklahoma on May 21. See more pictures, or see all the chase 2011 photos.


Tornado southwest of Wakita, Oklahoma, on May 10, 2010. See more pictures from the 2010 chase.



Big night: There was an impressive parade of storms and lightning on July 24, 2009, on Florida's Space Coast. See the pictures, or see all the 2009 chase reports.

Thanks for dropping in! My name is Chris Kridler. I'm a journalist whose work includes articles, photography, video, and the novel Funnel Vision. I live on the edge of Florida's Lightning Alley, and I love to chase the mighty thunderstorms of the Plains. For more info and credits, see my bio.
