EXCLUSIVE ALLROUNDERPICTURED: Lightning Bolt next to a cell tower in Greenley, Colorado
British landscape photographer John Finney, 48, from High Peak in Derbyshire, has captured these stunning extreme weather pictures while on a 10-day storm chasing trip across America's mid-west. Although safety was paramount, John and his colleagues found themselves in some sticky situations while documenting the epic journey.
John says, "We were chasing from the 19th of June to the 30th of June. We started in Colorado and chased into Oklahoma, Texas, then north through Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, and finally Montana, where we covered approximately 5000 miles.
"The most dangerous storm was on the 21st of June, which started near Highway 287 just south of Limon, Colorado. As we began to give chase, the storm gained more momentum and caused extensive damage across Kansas and Nebraska in the following hours.
"Moving at 60mph, the storm was difficult to keep ahead of. We tried to stay about 10 miles ahead of the storm to avoid the damaging hail. We could only stop for photographs for a few minutes before the storm would catch us up again.
"As the storm worsened we fled east to nearby Wallace before we got caught up with 85mph winds with large hail. We managed to escape the worst of it, but some of our fellow storm chasers were not so lucky and they lost all of their car windows to the hail and debris that the storm had picked up. Most of the towns in the area had lost power and sustained damage from hail and wind but were lucky the storm didn't drop a tornado."
As these amazing pictures show, John survived the storms and is home safe and sound and has collated his best images from the trip for us all to see.
