Jamie Walter of DeKalb sent us this photo of a funnel cloud he spotted at 6:45 p.m. Sunday evening (July 5). Jamie reports that he "never saw it touch down, and it soon seemed to dissipate." Thanks Jamie for the photo!

Hi Tom,

I was wondering if the cool weather is affecting the life span of the lightening bugs in the Chicago area. I have noticed in hot summers that they are short-lived in the month of July, but this summer they have thrived through the beginning of August. Any thoughts on the matter?
