This rainshaft near Mundelein Wednesday precedes downpours headed this way with Hurricane Gustav’s remnants

These ominous skies and the rain shaft depicted here are the opening salvo of a
significant rain event expected to douse northern Illinois and Indiana’s parched lawns and
farm fields! The photo comes to us from our friend and frequent contributor Anson
Mount and was taken in Mundelein Wednesday morning on his way to the airport.
Anson, as those of you who follow our blog know, is a pilot and is always incredibly
generous in sharing great photos with us. This one’s no exception. THANKS Anson!
