A video I took of the strong winds blowing through my yard September 27Th
We had Very Strong winds blow through the area today, after the cold front passed, Showers formed right along the leading edge of the cold air behind the cold front coming down from ND/MN, this line of showers raced down at 35MPH and the strongest winds were right in this line, reports of winds near 50MPH were reported.
A number blown off from the gas station sign in Clayton. 
My friend Alan G. of Turtle Lake sent me in this late picture he took of a tree which was snapped by Very strong Northwest winds on the Clear Lake-Clayton ATV trail on the North edge of Clayton.
Winds of 45-50MPH did cause damage through out the area, Isolated reports of trees down came in from across the area, from friends I know and reports to the NWS. Trees were reported down in Dunn county, and some power lines were reported down in the southern side Turtle Lake, from these high winds winds. Here in Clayton, there was some tree damage, a temporary Church sign was blown down, and as odd as this is, a number blew off the gas station sign, there was also many branches and leaves in the road. 
quick gust of wind took all the Potted plants off this table, they cleared the second bench then spilled, also showing all the leaves that were blown off from the tree some that are still green.
In my yard Lots of leaves blown off the trees that were turning, even leaves that were still green were blowing off, Also many minor branches, littered our roof and yard, and other wind related things like Several potted plants blew off my picnic table in our backyard and spilled. and a plant was flattened in the Garden, The potted plants spilling surprised me, because the potted plants were weighed down.

Thanks for sharing the vid, D. The winds have picked up around here as well. Extended periods of gusts similar to your video… I had to peek my head out the door about 20 minutes ago as the wind came to my surprise. It’s been a while.
yeah it has also been awhile since we had wind here too… and So strong!
Great post Derek…It no longer shocks me to as why the Rice lake air port is always lower with winds..So many tress close by that is blocks the main event all the time..I like at said in my chat box 53 MPH here…I live in a bad area for wind…Always seems windy here…Now we are getting ready for looks to be our killing frost/freeze Tuesday night…Forecast is out for that.
Thanks Dirk, Yeah I am also in a prime spot for wind on top of this hill, I was surprised I did not see a higher gust. And yes I see the Frost/Freeze potentail for Tuesday Night and even Tonight, I will check in to your blog.
