Burnett and Washburn counties

Parts of the are were hit very hard with stait line wind damage last night. The hardest hit areas is Burnett County and Washburn county. it is estimated that 80MPH winds may have blown through much of these areas from strait lines winds. I have been seeing reports of major damage including, in some areas entire woods flattend, sigificant structual damage and proporty lost, espessailly in Siren, Danbury, Grantsburg, Webster and Minong. This is proably some the worst damage Burnett and Washburn Counties has seen in very many years. Travel in these counties is very difficult at this time state highways should be ok, but side roads are impassible due to fallen trees. Police from all local area counties have responed to Burnett County to help clean up.

Damage from this storm continued south into parts of Polk and Barron Counties. Hardest hit areas here are the Northwestern parts of both counties, Milltown, Frederic, Calm Falls to Cumberland have reports of trees or powerlines down, and 60+MPH wind reports have been reported in St Croix Falls and west of Amery. Spotty reports of much less widespread damage, such as isolated trees or power lines down have also been reported in Clayton and other areas of southern Polk and Barron Counties, but People who are in Southeastern Polk, Southern Barron, as well as St Croix and Dunn counties were spared of the most sigificant damage.

St Croix and Dunn Counties

There was very little damage here, but there was some spotty reports of trees down in Northwestern St Croix County at Somerset and southern Dunn County Eau Galle.
