Long Distance Illinois Storm

About 110 miles separated the storm from the observer as seen from the top image around 4:21 PM, Thursday, July 26, 2012. The camera was at Bowman Meadows, the new housing development under construction south of Boyson Road and west of Alburnett Road in Marion, Iowa and the storm was in Lee County, Illinois--east of the town of Sterling. The bottom image is a Quad Cities National Weather Service 4:08 PM radar capture of the severe-warned storm.
