"Gilbert Sebenste (via spotternetwork.org) @ 19:43 UTC -- (S) Funnel -- -- Spotter is 1 miles SSW of DE KALB, IL (DeKalb county) [41.917/-88.762] -- Funnel cloud begin at 2:35 PM, starting to dissipate at 2:43 PM. I am looking at it 1 mile west-northwest of this location, on the underside of a towering cumulus cloud. Came halfway to the ground, before gradually lifting. Moving almost due north. Rope-shaped funnel with a pointed end; no debris on the ground noted; likely a landspout. Funnel has just lifted at 2:45 PM."
