More than five inches of rain has fallen around Duluth Minnesota in the past 24 hours. The heavy rainfall has caused road closures, the closure of the UM Duluth campus, storm sewer back ups, house flooding and the formation of sink holes. Reports are available from the Duluth News Tribune and Minnesota Public Radio. Updates on the situation are posted at the Duluth City website.
Between 1958 and 2007 rainfall events have increased 31%. The recent rainfall of greater than 10 inches has increased the amount of soil erosion into the lake according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
