Dramatic views from west suburban Elgin of the towering cumulonimbus clouds (thunderheads) which produced Wednesday Cook County downpours, wind and flooding
 
 
Matthew Cumberland of Plano photographed Wednesday's 53,000 ft. tall cumulonimbus clouds from Elgin as thunderstorms pounded sections of Cook County and northwest Indiana, producing flooding deluges, lightning, locally damaging winds and even hail.  Great shot, Matthew--MANY THANKS!!
