Saint William Catholic Parish in the aftermath of the Friday, June 19th Chicago severe thunderstorm. Chicago Illinois USA. Saturday, June 20th 2009.

Saint William Catholic Parish. Chicago Illinois. Saturday, June 20th 2009.

I took this photo on Saturday morning, June 20th 2009 in Chicago's Mont Clare neighborhood. We are looking south on North Sayre Avenue in the serene reflection of a flooded street. On Friday, June 19th 2009....The city of Chicago Illinois was being pelted by heavy rains, lightning, hail, and very less than favorable conditions everywhere. Many Chicagoland homes had suffered from flooded basements.

The storm itself was so bad, that the National weather Service had issued a Severe Thinderstorm Watch until 3:00 PM that day. There were downed tree limbs everywhere the next day, but all was calm now.
