Good afternoon! High winds and early morning thunderstorms were powerful enough to knock out power, and knock down an iconic Minnesota landmark. When park owner Lois Moon came to work at the Paul Bunyan Land amusement park in the early morning, she found the massive Babe the Blue Ox statue on its side. With the help of a forklift and a borrowed crane Moon's crew was able to get Babe on his feet in less than an hour. Aside from a broken horn, she says Babe is largely unharmed. "He doesn't look too bad," she said. "We're going to have some cosmetic surgery going on here, but he's back on his feet." | Forecast
