High Winds

Last night the Twins and White Sox played a well-pitched game at Target Field, with the Twins picking up a 3-2 win in less than 2 hours. That was important, because not too long after the game ended, strong winds swept into the metro from the northwest. Some tornadic activity was observed and when we got up this morning, there were instances of wind damage in North Oaks. Perhaps the most photogenic of the damage I saw was this one on the island:

The next day Hana and I saw this tree blown down across the Long Marsh Trail:

Hana and I also saw some serious clean up along the Pleasant Lake Trail:
