High winds in the Clear Lake area of Riding Mountain National Park caused destruction Sunday, toppling trees in the area. This large tree came to a rest near the intersection of Mooswa Dr. And Ta-Wa-Pit Dr. The tree fell completely across Ta-Wa-Pit Dr. and forced that section of the road to be closed. Thankfully it appears that no damage was caused to the cabin it nearly hit.  Photos: Liam Pattison Photography
