Walleye fishermen myself, nice catch there man! Lots of good eating, walleye, bluegill, and crappie are my favorite. Nothing better than a huge fish fry with coleslaw, baked beans, and hush puppies.
Yeah, I noticed in the pictures posted from the weak EF-1 tornado that touched down in Gifford/Rantoul the corn was blown over practically laying completely flat.
Here in Champaign county we have been pretty waterlogged as well, some areas in the county have recorded 10” this month. I will say however, the corn crop looks incredibly healthy, with tassling already occurring. The earliest I can recall.
Lots of downed trees, power lines, even stop lights hanging off the poles, hard to tell if straight line winds or possible tornado.
Mine thing is for certain any drought talk in this area should be erased, at least IMBY anywhere from 3-5” over the last 4 days
