As you may have heard there were a couple of tornados in the Twin Cities area on Saturday and the town of Hugo was hit very badly. One 2 year old boy was killed and his parents and sister were badly injured.
I live in Blaine about 7 miles west of Hugo and the winds yesterday caused a lot of damage, mostly trees knocked down. I lost a 40 ft cherry which was about 14 inches in diameter at the base. My neighbor lost a large red oak. I was able to get quite a bit of wood. In the picture below, I have sealed about 1/2 of it. It's nice to get the wood, but not under these circumstances. The black circular thing in the middle top of the picture is a trampoline from the neigbors that got wrapped around a tree.
