A strong low pressure system across the Central Plains the morning of April 28, 2014, in conjunction with a strong area of high pressure over Hudson Bay, produced a significant pressure gradient across the Upper Midwest. As a result, strong non-thunderstorm winds were felt across the Northland, especially along the southwest portion of Lake Superior. Many trees were uprooted, and damage was sustained to cars, houses, and fences. |
