An ill wind blows through Illinois
Posted May16, 2007 at 12:29 AM
On Tuesday, we caught up to a severe storm just outside of Champaign, Ill., that hurled 60-plus mph winds at us, shaking our vans and hurtling dust across the fields of central Illinois. We were outside when the wind kicked in and could barely stand up against it. We got back in and watched leaves and dust and debris whisk past us for several minutes. My still photos don't do this justice -- it demands video.
Wednesday looks to be a travel day as we head toward the western High Plains to see if we can get any upslope thunderstorm action and to wait on potential weather pattern changes early next week that could turn things very active.
