Not a welcoming moment. A giant tree, uprooted by winds from soggy soil, blocks the entrance to Winona County’s premier park at the confluence of Garvin Brook and Peterson Creek. Crews later sawed the tree for hauling away. Winds also toppled a second tree in park. A few miles away near the Winona Sportsman’s Club a downed tree blocked Garvin Ridge Road.  Image: Steve Lunde
