The wider storm
An intense area of low pressure approached the region through the day on Monday, October 21st, producing increasingly strong east to northeast winds. The winds increased through the day, and were especially strong coming off Lake Superior into the Twin Ports area. Peak wind speeds topped 70 MPH at some of the bridges and waves caused damage along many of the lake shore areas. In addition, the strong winds knocked down trees and power lines down leading to power outages. The Duluth Water Level Observation Station located in the Duluth harbor operated by NOAA/National Ocean Service broke the all-time record at 604.75 feet topping the previous record of 604.4 feet recorded in 1985.
Began near Devils Island Lighthouse Station Disw3 (47.0800, -90.7300).
