The #severe #thunderstorm that passed through the #IronRange portion of the #Northland Sunday morning had quite the high #wind profile on radar.

Duluth harbour has always been a fascination of mine. The serenity with which the great lakers leave port, broken only by the solemn salute to the bridge keeper delights the imagination. That voice inside my mind asking: What joys, and unspoken fears might those sailors be feeling? Whether a green hand might be embarking on a new adventure – apprehension and uncertainty suppressed at great effort. What beloved has been left behind, or who might await them at the other end.

For me theGreat Lakes excite the imagination at least as well as Samuel Clemons’ Mississippi, but the frivolity of the river life replaced with the stern respect for this great inland sea and all she holds in the cold embrace of her barely fathomable depths.

About 600 mine workers laid off on Iron Range as two mines temporarily close

Cleveland-Cliffs said it is temporarily idling its Minorca mine in Virginia, Minn., as well as part of Hibbing Taconite, two of the six taconite mines on Minnesota’s Iron Range.

No surprise from me that a #wind #advisory is in effect for the #TwinPorts, #IronRange and #I35 corridor regions of the #Northland for the next several hours.

Current wind #gusts are in the 30 to 50 mph range

The worst is on the #Blatnik Bridge. Gusts have surpassed 60 mph, and possibly as high as 76 mph!

Hold on tight out there!
