No damage, but we were without power for 6-1/2 hours.

I was up half the night keeping an eye on water levels in the sump baskets since there was no power to pump them out... the one inside never got a drop of water in it. The external pump system (and 10,000gal underground tank) were full, so I had to run a gas-powered pump until the power came back on.

All of my trees were blown over.
Turn them into insurance and get a bunch to plant...

And get a generator for "next time". I have a 5,000 watt from Northern that runs everything but the A/C.

It's funny what a few miles difference will do. We only got a few sprinkles. We could actually use a little rain

We were hit hard in Pine Island and we missed it. We left for Duluth on Thursday and drove through a bad storm around Canon Falls. My son Kevin went out the back before we left and we did not check the door. It did not latch. Form what my neighbor told us it hailed and rained in our kitchen. luckly a neighbor came over shut the door and cleaned it up the water before we even got home. WOW that was a close one. Same neighbor was not as lucky a tree damaged there roof and fence. We just finished cleaning up the little bit that got in our basement. Our neighbor had there tree already cut up when we got back.
have chainsaws : ) Ping me if you need help.

Need? Not right now but eventually. Had a large limb fall behind the garage but it's back far enough where it doesn't block getting in and out of the garage. I can hack it up with an axe but there are a lot of downed trees in the woods that I'd like to work on.

Next door neighbor wasn't quite as lucky. He's been chainsawing for days.

Got some rain here in Eagle Lake, but that's it nothing major, thankfully.
