Severe Weather Causes Significant Damage to Cabins at Resort Lodge on Lake Bemidji, Minnesota
Global warming what a Bitch.
old man winter just can't let it go – has to get in some more mean hits.
Bazaar? Have you been to Mille Lacs?
How is this bizarre? The wind came up and blew ice on shore…happens every year
Bizarre…yep because it’s in Bemidji and doesn’t pertain to Ridgeway apartments or meth😉
That's what insurance is for. Built too close to the lake…before all the bi laws were passed.
The same thing happened on Lake Erie a couple years ago
Sad
That darn global warming, again.
Wow! That’s so sad. Hope they can be repaired.
This is neither bizarre or unusual. It happens nearly every year and is caused by strong winds blowing over the surface of the ice, which then gets pushed on to the shore in great heaps. Any structure close to shore is usually heavily damaged or destroyed and the ice can move several hundreds of yards inland.
Oh wow!
This has happened at some Minnesota Lakes with cabins or houses by the shoreline. Your homeowners insurance should cover the damage but not always the case!
I went to Bemidji State U and know these cabins. Northern Minnesota can be unforgiving with cold, ice & snow. A place for Eskimos 😁
I had one of my cabins at my resort get smashed up 6 years ago. This year is brutal because of all the rain last fall and snow this winter the water levels on the lakes rose quite a bit. Also, cooler temps had most of the snow melting without warming the frost in the ground so the snowmelt runoff went into the lakes and rivers. I lucked out again and the wind was blowing from the south so it blew the ice off the lake on the north side lol.
Not a good place to stay. In winter, the rooms are friggin cold, with no assistance from management
