Description:

At the recent 16th AMS Conference on Severe Local Storms held at Kananaskis Park, Alberta, Canada, Donald Burgess of the National Severe Storms Laboratory brought to our attention an interesting lightning pattern associated with a tornadic thunderstorm in Illinois on 28 August 1990. The storm, a long-lived supercell, developed near the Illinois-Wisconsin border about 1800 UTC and moved southeast, producing an F5 tornado near Joliet and Plainfield, IL.
