AlexanderSupertramp	06/14/2024 12:23PM   I haven't been up to see for myself but I was told there is pretty significant tree damage from Isabella area over to Tofte and Lutsen. Lutsen had two Tornado warnings. Seems that town can't catch a break lately.
bobbernumber3	06/13/2024 01:20PM   Fishing has been very tough due to changeable weather, wind, and conditions. Zero on Farm Lake yesterday and zero today on Shagawa.... very frustrating! Here till next week Saturday.
bobbernumber3	06/18/2024 06:33PM   Some rain, some thunder, bit no big problems at Fall Lake Campground.
AndrewD	06/18/2024 09:09PM   We were camped at Gull (island site) during the storm. It was pretty intense. Crazy amount of hail.
bennojr	06/12/2024 04:50PM   AlexanderSupertramp: "70MPH winds possible and 3" hail possible, even isolated tornadoes. " How odd... I'm in the middle of watching "Into the Wild" when I decided to check the radar on my phone. Right after I go here and find this thread.

" Total bummer that your van broke down and you can’t take your much anticipated trip. But with the weather forecast, at least you didn’t have to make that agonizing decision to go or not to go.
Barca	06/12/2024 05:55PM   How bad was it? From a thousand miles away, the radar looked um... interesting... to say the least. Anyone in the path? Hoping all is well.

" Perhaps a stroke of destiny, I'm not sure I would want to be out there tonight if it's going to be as bad as it sounds. Could certainly create a poor experience for a 5 year old and he may not want to go again in the future.
bobbernumber3	06/12/2024 05:22PM   Hail at Fall Lake Campground right now. And the sun is out. No wind yet.

" The cells were small but some were fierce. Unless you were hit by a cell it was not even windy. A cell just hit me at Baker lake and I am glad I am in my van but it did not last too long. A few that missed me you could see the white streaks of hail. You think this rain would at least drowned some of the mosquitoes but it sure does not look like it. Back on the water in a day permit in the morning
Jaywalker	06/12/2024 06:11PM   Winds were in the 60-65 mph range according to radar. EDIT: the scale at the bottom of map is not wind mph, but rather something called QCb base reflectivity, which means nothing to me or most anyone…except maybe for Whitewolf... . It looks like the worst of it went directly over Gabbro and Bald Eagle lakes, then passed just south of Isabella Lake. Hopefully out of the BWCA now.

LindenTree	06/13/2024 05:27PM   We were coming out and warned as many as we could on 6/12 of the potential. Dispatch pulled some of the FS rangers in the East Zone out of the woods a day early because of the predicted storms.
AlexanderSupertramp	06/12/2024 01:23PM   70MPH winds possible and 3" hail possible, even isolated tornadoes.

yogi59weedr	06/13/2024 04:54AM   Did ya catch any fish? Coming up next Wednesday. You still gonna be around?
AlexanderSupertramp	06/18/2024 03:57PM   Wow, everyone be safe again tonight! This weather is straight trash.
bobbernumber3	06/12/2024 08:38PM   Fished on Farm Lake till 4pm. Dark clouds sent us back to Fall Lake Campground, but things never looked bad.
