09/02/12 Hurricane Isaac's Remnants

Hurricane Isaac's remnants at this wind
farm outside Camp Grove, IL

A couple weeks ago, we made a huge dent in the drought across central Illinois as Hurricane Isaac's remnants tracked across the Midwest and central Illinois providing soaking rains and even a few weak tornadoes. I missed the tornadoes as I was working when it appeared that things were going to get interesting. Story of 2012 for myself and most. Anyhow, I was able to make it out a day later after work to capture a few scenes of the departing rains from Isaac at a local wind farm and have added a few photos below:

The rain-dance worked a couple weeks ago!

 A rather stormy-view looking east at
the departing rains!

That's all for now. We couldn't buy a drop of rain all summer and ended up getting some drought-denting rains from Isaac and a few more storm systems provided some beneficial rain as well. More posts to come.
