For two years, a 43-acre cornfield maze in California has been named the biggest in the world, but this week proved no match for a storm that rolled across the region, KXTV reports.

"It just makes you sad. There's a lot of work that went into that, and the people were really enjoying it this year," said Mark Cooley, who along with his brother Matt creates the puzzle each year at Cool Patch Pumpkins in Dixon, Calif.

The maze first topped the list in the Guinness World Records book in 2007 and has kept the title ever since. (On the second page of this posting, you can see a video of Cooley building a maze, using a spreadsheet.)
