Wind Farm After Some Really Windy Weather

Cumulonimbus remnants of a storm system that swept across northeast Iowa are shown west of a wind farm along US Highway 218, about 1 1/2 miles southwest of Charles City, around 6:30 PM on May 25, 2008. An hour and a half earlier, an EF5 tornado spawned from the powerful system devastated Parkersburg, about 34 miles to the south of this location. An EF (Enhanced Fujita) 5 tornado packs wind speeds of over 200 mph, and is at the top end of the wind (damage) measurement scale.
