Had to do a quick trip to Menards this afternoon. On the way back I made a pass through the damaged area that was closed off to the public yesterday. A lot of roads still blocked so I walked in. Saw two garages destroyed, a lot of trees twisted and stripped of leaves. Same look in this neighborhood as two years ago when Blaine was hit just a mile and a half to the south of this track.

This used to be a garage of a house that was getting remodeled. Facing north, debris is off to the left, but unsure if it was pushed off that way to gain access to the back yard, or blew off that direction. No one was home when I was taking the picture.

A second garage.
