Additional reports include tree damage in Northwood…Manvel…Larimore…Fisher…and Crookston.  A boat dock rolled over in the water south of Erskine.  Winds also caused a boat and lift to tip upside down.

The NWS says they measured 1.13 inches of rain in Grand Forks.  A wind gust of 61 mph was clocked at the Grand Forks Airport.

Strong storms are still possible this morning across southeastern North Dakota into central Minnesota.
