Last night in Northern Chisago County and across Minnesota it turned ugly, and FAST!  We had our Wednesday Night Bass League on Rush Lake in Chisago County.  Prior to our take off at 6 pm, we watched the weather report and nasty storms were in the forecast.  Here is the Report from Channel 5 EyeWitness news including pictures.  We watched the drama unfold from the lake in our boats, the clouds and lightning was incredible.  Lucky for us we were just North of the storm, only 2 miles South was a completely different story.  From our vantage point it was incredible.
