Yesterday's Storm, Today's Beautiful Photos

Yesterday's severe weather brought winds in excess of 70 miles per hour, stinging rain, blotted out the sun for two hours and evacuated Lollapalooza. The rolling entry of the clouds also made for a dramatic photography opportunity and some of our regular Flickr pool contributors took full advantage of the situation. Thanks, Mother Nature.
