Missed out photographically on the strikes that hit the Hancock and Sears tonight. This is my one solid snap.

What an epic lightning storm over Chicago. I'm overwhelmed with video & still photos. But here's one I pulled from my DLSR and quickly edited. More tomorrow // #ILwx #ChicagoWX

Late last night the sky lit up with a few bolts on the Chicago skyline. There was plenty of rain as well. The photo on the right still has the plastic bag protecting my camera in view. #ilwx

I randomly woke up on my couch with all the lights on at 4:45am and this was the scene going on outside my window. Beautiful sunrise from Chicago this morning.
