A distant severe thunderstorm that produced a
funnel cloud near Washington, IL

A few weeks ago I had to head back to my hometown of Kewanee, IL for some dental work to lose some "wisdom" so to speak. I took this photo on the short drive home as a severe thunderstorm initiated behind me near the Illinois River. It turns out this severe thunderstorm actually produced a brief funnel cloud in Washington, IL as many people documented the funnel on the local news during a summer event in the area. Take a look at the story in the local newspaper in this area here. That's about all for this post though. Stay tuned for some more posts shortly...
