Date: 30 April 2010

Location: Central IL

Chase Partner: Solo

Summary:   We got into Indiana Harbor on what turned out to be a high risk day in the southern states, especially Arkansas.   IL had a TOR watch up and since I had time I thought it would be a good shakedown chase to test all of the new gear and programs before the main chase season began.   I intercepted a storm near Lostant, IL.   As soon as it made its approach it went SVR and it put out quite a few nice bolts of lightning.   I shot some time exposures for about 5 minutes before the rain came and sent me back into the truck.    I wasn't expecting much, but am pretty happy with what I got!

 

2 of the best shots I got this evening.
