Eric Myers of Plainfield shares this dramatic photo of Thursday's storm bearing down on him.  He tells us:

"I watched this funnel develop and eventually die right over our house in the Kendall County side of Plainfield/Joliet yesterday. There was not a lot of rotation, and the updraft was very strong, which eventually killed it.  There was much more rotation in smaller sections after the main funnel went back up as several small funnels tried to form. It sure did make for an interesting picture that I thought you would enjoy."

It's an amazing shot, Eric---and you're great to share it with us!  Many thanks!
