Photo taken by Dirk Miller of Rice Lake,Wisconsin Link to his website http://www.storm-chaser236.com/

The photo above taken by Dirk Miller shows some of the major storm damage that happen in the area on Sunday afternoon. the storm moved east from Minnesota it first did damage at Luck. where trees and power lines were reported down right in and around the village of Luck. then it kept moving east. winds were so Strong that it snapped power lines and trees completely off in the Cumberland area. The storm really got strong as it approached the City Rice Lake, Trees were reported down all over the Rice Lake area, and a roof of a home ripped off 2 miles south of Rice Lake. This was a powerful storm. Power was out for some people until 3:00AM when the storm hit at 3:30PM. Here at my house. the lights were flickering on and off for about 20 minutes as these storms moved though to my north. these storms were severe But they did dump some much needed rain in that area. we only got 0.10 here in Clayton.
