Weather Instrument found by local resident

 

Local resident Don Ford who lives near the Hastings Barry County Airport found a orange parachute 

with a weather instrument package in his yard Sunday. The Instruments attached to a balloon with a parachute were launched from the Davenport Iowa National Weather Service Office and made it to hastings in four hours.

WBCH's Dave McIntyre spoke with the National Weather Service Office in Grand Rapids who told him the upper level winds over the weekend reached 150 miles and hours which accounts for the instruments reaching Hastings in that short of time. The Davenport office  sends up the instruments twice daily.
