Two High-Precipitation Supercells Embedded in Squall Line, West-Central IL, April 25, 2008.

These two pictures were taken about 60 miles apart in distance and nearly two hours in time; the first near Barry, IL and the second just west of Springfield. The second embedded supercell formed about 30 miles down the line from where the first one was ending at the time. Notice the similarity in the storm structure in the two pictures, despite the fact that they were different cells at different times at different locations along the squall line.
