Extreme Winds and vivid lightning hit western Stearns County, MN this evening and caused extensive damage around the town of Belgrade, MN.
All damage and down trees and power poles were leaning or blown towards the northeast. Combined with the extreme winds on the video while driving just west of the town, it is safe to say straight line winds hit the area.
