The thunderstorms today triggered more flash flood warnings and peaceful streams and calm creeks can become fast moving destructive waters. In July, this little stream showed nature’s powerful force from nearly 10 inches of rain that fell as it wiped out the Saxon Harbor and campground that was directly behind me. Some boats and camping vehicles were washed out into Lake Superior, with over 85 boats damaged or destroyed. It is estimated that it will take more than two years to rebuilt the harbor, but no amount of time will bring back the man’s life also lost that day.
