Puzzle #264 - Cyclone (Creek/Yin Yang)

I really like Creek puzzles, even though the type has a common complaint that implying shaded cells is too rare. So I applied Yin Yang rules to it to create a Creek puzzle where the solution will have all shaded cells connected, in addition to the standard unshaded connection. The final solution should both satisfy all of the Creek clues, and be a valid Yin Yang solution. Adding this simple restriction ended up being very powerful and fun to work with, and I hope you enjoy the same process of discovery I had while constructing this puzzle.

  1. To clarify, does this puzzle also use the no-2x2s rule from Yin Yang?
