What the National Weather Service wrote

A stretch of Forest Road 323 was washed out for a length of 20 to 30 yards where it runs adjacent to an unnamed creek just west of Mit Lake. This led to the closure of Forest Road 323 west of Forest Road 323J until repairs could be completed.

The wider storm

Severe storms moved across northeastern Minnesota the morning of the 23rd ahead of a cold front. Storms began in Cass County where they produced tree damage and a measured gust of 64 mph in Walker. As they moved to the northeast, they lost their strength, but became heavy rain producers which led to some minor flooding in the city of Ely during the late morning hours.

Began near Marais (47.8965, -90.4651).
