Rain Wrapped tornado, Wall cloud, and Tail Cloud

This was one of the most incredible moments I have had ever observing or chasing storms. A very strong tail cloud develops along with a rain wrapped tornado under the strong wall cloud. This is the first time we were convinced there was a tornado with the storm. The photo was taken at 4:33pm CDT. According to the NWS the Shabbona EF-1 tornado began 1 min earlier.June 12, 2013 Storm Chase in north central IL. The chase was near Shabbona, IL.
