WINONA, Minn. — Anticipating severe weather, the Winona Municipal Band cancelled its premier evening concert of the season at the Lake Park bandshell. Cancelling was a good idea: A large tree fell and blocked a nearby street at Lake Lodge. Trees around Windom Park were knocked down. One tree fell into a house. There were no injuries. Severe rounds of thunderstorms left much of Winona County water-logged — and so too a broad swath across southern Minnesota and Wisconsin. Some locations reported four inches of rain. A few areas had hail. In Wisconsin the National Weather Service issued a shelter-in-a-safe-place alert for Arcadia and central Trempealeau County townships.
