BEMIDJI, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – Today, Bemidji faced significant storm damage, especially at Diamond Point Park near Lake Bemidji and Bemidji State University. The storm, which struck Wednesday afternoon, resulted in the uprooting and snapping of numerous Norway Pines and oak trees that have stood for generations. Initial reports from the National Weather Service indicated winds up to 67 mph, but local observations suggest even stronger gusts in some areas, exacerbating the destruction. Cleanup efforts are now underway, focusing on clearing debris and addressing damage to vehicles and structures in the park.
