Erby Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 My 16 year old grandson is attending a National student leadership conference in engineering at Northwestern University in Chicago. He snapped this picture this afternoon from John Hancock Tower. Click to Enlarge 36.38 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Wow! Unbelievable timing on that pic. Tell your Grandson I grabbing it. That was one helluva a storm. Intense hail, lightning, rain....about 3 minutes of extreme weather. The kids at Lollapalooza got hammered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erby Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thousands of pictures I've taken trying to catch lightning. Of course, none of mine had the right timing but he did. Sadly, a while after we were back down from the tower, we found out that, a few minutes before this, the same storm hit a festival out by O'Hare Airport (the Prairie Fest in Wood Dale), a tent collapsed, one person died and several were injured. Mother Nature what have you done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
