EXCLUSIVE ALLROUNDERPICTURED: A severe 'mothership' shaped thunderstorm races across farmland in Kansas, USA
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.

The Icemaker - Chad Cowan's Super Storms
It looks like the end of the world, instead this once-in-a-lifetime image shows a lightning bolt crackling from a hailstorm cloud.
The jaw-dropping picture - dubbed The Icemaker - captures the storm that unleashed the world record hail stone onto South Dakota in summer.
And storm chasing photographer Chad Cowan is hoping that this highlight of last storm season will win the National Geographic Exceptional Experiences photo contest, in which it is down to the last six finalists.
His gallery of best shots taken in 2010 also offer some amazing glimpses at nature at its most powerful.
The 26-year-old, a storm fan since his early teens, follows dramatic weather across the United States and even runs tours for storm fanatics.
But even for a seasoned storm chaser the decision to drive towards this storm was a cause for apprehension.
Chad, from Kansas, explains: "Looking at the radar on my laptop, it became obvious that there was one storm that would be an absolute monster.
"I became somewhat apprehensive in driving towards this storm because I saw that the ingredients of a 'perfect storm' had come together
"We saw this cloud explode into the sky like an atom bomb, and it soon became a supercell also, south of the larger storm.
"As we approached, though, my stomach dropped as the shape of the beast became visible above the horizon.
"I had never seen anything like it and didn't speak much, only muttering single syllable words like, "epic" and "woah".
"I finally got my wits about me and decided to get out my camera. I flipped it on, checked the settings and leaned out the window and snapped my first shot of the day.
"As fate would have it, I saw a lightning flash through my viewfinder as my shutter clicked. I didn't expect to get t...
