Upper Midwest Vortex
Original Art by John Barlow
Appearing on March 3rd, 1970 and lasting through April 5th, 1986, the Upper Midwest Vortex was a mainstay of Midwestern tourism. Although it was clearly visible from the ground, the huge uptick in flights to view the vortex from the air necessitated the construction of new airfields across the area. After the initial shock, farming continued after a brief interruption under the vortex. When interviewed, most farmers declined to comment on their experience during those years. One farmer simply said that life continued “as normal–you just had to stay inside when it got hungry.”
