This shelf had some nice striation visible when the brighter flashes shined through.  Some ominous looking hanging scud as well.

This was part of a large linear MCS that developed in the late afternoon over Wisconsin and proceeded to cross Lake Michigan after dark.  The northern part of the line weakened as it moved east while more storms kept adding to the southern end of the line.  This section of the storm weakened a bit when it reached me and was pretty uneventful despite the severe storm warning still being in effect.  Even the lightning diminished a lot, thus I didn't bother keeping the video.  I didn't get any CGs anyways.
