Tornado Warning near Lakemoor and Round Lake IL (McHenry / Lake counties on July 22 2010)

July 22 2010

A Line of storms crosses McHenry County in the evening, had some dopplar indicated rotation as it made its way from near Woodstock in central McHenry County to central Lake County (just north of the Chicago area).

Of course it was late in the evening, so no good visibility. Didnt get much on video with the exception of the sirens being activated in Lakemoor, IL. and just the cloud base to our northeast as it passed the Round Lake, IL area. We stayed to the south of the precip and kept a bit of a distance from the cell itself. There was no confirmation of any tornado reports from this cell. As the storm weakened we camped out in Round Lake till the rain passed.

What is this in 3:30 - 3:35 ?

[TransitWeather]

@zydek44e i believe that may have actually been some rain that hit the lens causing some glare... this was after the storm has lost the warning.
