Illinois Supercell 05-30-09

This was a very pretty storm! Some of the best structure I have seen in these parts. I'm on the Sullivan/Vigo Indiana County line south of Terre Haute, Just East of a town called Merom, IN.

@ExtremeSpinner99 It was a great storm! Hard to believe it's almost been a year since I got this!

@stormmoss Thank you for the replay ! This formation of cumulus congestus and cumulonimbus clouds was very beautiful.

@ExtremeSpinner99 Yeah the boiling Updrafts building and churning were quite a sight to see. That's what happens when you get at least good instablity

This storm had a meso marker with it from what I remember and the warnings did state weak rotation was noticed. I saw what appeared to be a wall cloud like feature briefly with this storm when I bumped up right next to the Illinois Border

Summerish pattern looks to setup but it could be a significiant one with chances for Derechos, Bow Echos and still plenty of tornadoes
