Radar image has some bugs in it, literally
2006-07-11
It wasn't rain. It certainly wasn't snow. So what was it last Friday that turned the radar in the La Crosse area into a sea of white? It turns out that it was a gigantic hatch of mayflies. The bugs were so thick that they showed up as a rainstorm of mayflies on National Weather Service radar. For about 1 1/2 hours starting at 9 p.m., the insects drifted north, with the radar showing them blanketing areas along the Mississippi River. "They were dive-bombing in the root beer floats," said Gary Rudy, owner of Rudy's Drive-In, whose family has been slinging burgers and soft drinks since 1966. "It hasn't been that bad in a long time."
GROSS!!!!
