Rain for Friday 7/1/2011

We were not home at the time but there was a big storm system that blew through the area on Friday. When I checked the rain gauge after the storm we had 1.25 inches of well needed rain. (The yard was getting pretty dry.)



I pulled down the historical radar image from:

I was on the road with family driving towards northwestern Wisconsin at the time or I would have grab some photos or at least some different radar images.  --Oh well.

There was a fair amount of damage in the Meeker County area. Lots of large trees were either blow over or snapped during the storm. It looks like it was a mainly a strong wind event.
