The Look of Evil
A cold front on the night of July 11, 2020, brought a much-needed break to the dry conditions and high temps that have plagued Northern Illinois in the first part of July. As is typical for these summer weather patterns, it bought with it a severe-warned thunderstorm. It was a very prolific lightning producer, and was accompanied by an impressive shelf cloud. But as the sun set, the storm slowed, and by the time it go to me, it wasn't producing the same amounts of lightning as it was just 15 minutes previous. Even so, I managed to capture a few bolts, and this is one of them. We still got a half inch of rain out of the system too.
