Rotors Over Carolina - 2006

    ROC finally got a break from wet weather this year. Friday, October 13th, was cloudy until after lunch, but then the clouds cleared off to reveal a beautiful fall day. Saturday was great from the beginning, except for a stiff westerly wind from about 2pm until around 4pm. The crowds were great, and everyone had fun. Here are some photos of the event:
