7/30/09 Severe Thunderstorm near Buffalo Grove, IL (home)

The t-storm warned cell passed just to the north of my house at 5:45pm located in the northern part of buffalo grove, IL in Southern Lake County. It looked as if a shelf cloud tried to form for a minute or two. You could a bit of turquoise/light green right above the cloud base as it headed eastward towards Lake Michigan.



almost a greenish color above the cloud base


weak shelf cloud dissipating to the NW


more defined shelf cloud


taken from my backyard, good outflow of 50-60mph winds
