Yesterday's high winds caused a lot of problems across the Northland.  There was 7ft waves on Lake Superior which had cancelled some fishing charters.  There was wide spread power outages and I can't count how many garbage cans I saw tipped over or blown into the middle of the street.  It also caused the Duluth Fire Department to reschedule a Live Fire Training Exercise.
