Base of storms north of Murphysboro, IL. These storms were just north of an outflow boundary, and had they been able to root just a few miles farther south, I believe these would have easily produced tornadoes. Alas, they stayed undercut for all of their observed lives - winds were northerly here:

Good grief, and here I was in WV happy to have seen a little shear funnel. Amazing stuff!

Excellent as usual! Saw two bright meteors from opposite you at Altamont so be that you were facing ENE, wonder if that may be one of the ones I saw too as I was looking WSW and up?

I thought at first that it was a meteor, and that's possible as I didn't notice it when it happened - but the symmetrical tapering at both ends looks more iridium flare-ish. Wish I'd had the shutter open longer to pick up some lightning bugs in that one!

Great shots, Dan! Wish I'd headed down I-64 a little quicker so I could ahve stayed ahead of the storms, although the flying tree debris along 64 near the Kaskaskia River was interesting to say the least.
