Severe straight line winds battered the Brooten area (and perhaps more) on Monday night. Just before 8 p.m., a storm passed over Brooten that delivered heavy rainfall and 50 to 70 miles per hour straight line winds.
It was bad news!
Here's a video featuring wind on the western side of Brooten at 7:59 p.m. tonight:
The video should be processed and ready to view just after 9:00 tonight.
I'm heading to Belgrade to see how they fared. I heard that it was not good! Update: it was not as bad as the initial report I got. However, danger existed on both Lowery Avenue and Washburn Avenue with downed power lines. They were being guarded by Belgrade Fire Department members.
