A time lapse of my backyard as an active cluster of thunderstorms approach and pass by to the south. Chicago, approx 100 miles away, is just to the left of center of the initial images in the timelapse, and this happens to be where these storms are situated when the timelapse begins.A few diverted aircraft are seen turning toward Chicago's airspace. In the second leg of the timelapse, fireflies begin to display some of their own magic, and lastly, Scorpio glides across the southern sky as the storms pass by peacefully below.
