The Lee family of Dresser WI captured a rainbow on Stocking Lake after the last storm that rolled through over the week. I hope its a sign of Summer approaching soon!

another brush with Tornados within a week.

Park Rapids had another batch of bad weather come through last night, unconfirmed tornado fell north of Park Rapids once again. We have guests here that have never had to seek shelter in the 14 yrs coming up.
One of the guests captured a photo of the cloud formation heading towards Walker and Nevis. (click on image to view full effect)

Whopper of a Bass

The day after the big Tornado scare, Kelby Jensen from Perham landed this 21", nearing 6 lbs Largemouth Bass while bobber fishing with a nightcrawler. Kelby is one happy camper! (click on image to view in larger size.)

TORNADO touch down in Park Rapids and Emmaville

Just less than 2 miles from Sleeping Fawn a tornado touched down. The Tornado started along Hubbard just after 9 am headed north through Park Rapids and north up county rd 4 to Emmaville and toward Lake George. Multiple houses are with damage and many trees lost. No destruction to the resort to report. Most damage is out of main road viewing range, unsure of any fatalities or injuries at this time.
Emmaville was turned into a command post for rescue vehicles. I was able to capture a few photos of the crew. All areas of damage was closed off to public.
