The wind was supposed to drop fairly abruptly last night, and I guess it did. I'm sorry you missed seeing your brother.
As for Baudette, hey, I've been there. They have two hotels! Cameron and I wanted to attend the Williams Wildflower Day (Williams has no hotels) and that's where we stayed. Williams may have no hotels, but when Rudy Perpich forgot he'd promised them that when Highway 11 was renovated, MNDOT would not dig up the wild native orchids between the road and the railway, essentially the entire town turned out to dig up all the orchids along the richest stretch and plant them in people's yards and in the town square instead. When the road removal and attending destruction was done, they put most of the orchids back.
I wish I had a good story about Baudette, but we mostly just slept there and ate at a Waffle House.
