Strong Winds, Dec. 20, 2012

Our area today is experiencing  some really strong winds plus gusts up to 40 mph.  It's almost dangerous to be outside. 

On a normal day the Cave-In-Rock Ferry is busy as it carries traffic from Kentucky to Illinois and Illinois to the Kentucky side. 

Today the Ferry sits tied up on her home port on the Illinois side.  She is closed due to the high winds.

Here the waves beat against the Kentucky side.

You can see the waves as they beat on the shore line.
