The owner of Starkweather's only bar says she was in tears after strong winds destroyed the 102-year-old brick building that held her business.

"I've literally spent the last day crying," Laurie Swobodzinski said Monday, over the drone of chain saws in the background, clearing debris. "It took the roof. The bricks blew off. The bar is totaled."

Swobodzinski and others were cleaning up pieces of grain bins, tree limbs and buildings destroyed by winds of around 100 mph in a weekend storm system. Another round of storms swept through Monday.

Gov. John Hoeven said he planned to tour damaged areas in Cavalier and Grand Forks counties on Tuesday, and talk about recovery.

Richland County Chief Deputy Gary Ruhl estimated about 40 homes in Fairmount were damaged from straight-line winds that hit late Monday morning, downing trees and dropping about 2 inches of rain in about half an hour.

Harris Bailey, Richland County's emergency manager, said some roads were blocked by toppled trees and debris.

Bailey said he wouldn't guess the wind speed. "I just know there are some flower pots that are three or four blocks away from where they started out," he said.

One man was injured at a Walhalla park after a tree fell on his tent Sunday, said Becky Ault, the Pembina County emergency manager. Sheriff Wayne Samdahl identified the man as Kelly Smeltzer, of Cando. His condition was not immediately known.

Ronnie Clark, a Walhalla volunteer firefighter, said a 50-foot high tree fell on the man.

"He was complaining about his back and arm," Clark said. "His back may have been broken."

Clark, who runs a construction company, said he used his payloader to get the tree off the man.

"Just the end of it, where the branches are, got him," Clark said of the toppled tree. "If it would been another 10 or 15 feet down the trunk, he wouldn't be here."

The straight-line winds, so named because they leave a trail of damage in a straight line, left a swath of uprooted trees, wrecked buildings and power outages early Sunday. The National Weather Service reported a peak wind of 103 mph near Hampden, in Ramsey County, but gusts of 80 mph or more were felt in other towns.

Starkweather, a town of about 160 in northeastern North Dakota, was using its high school football field to store debris, said Dawn Olson, the city auditor.

"It's just a huge, huge pile. It's a mess," Olson said. "Farmers came in from the country with their tractors and trucks to help out."

One of the bins at the Lake Region Grain Elevator sprung a leak and spilled grain onto the ground after it was hit by winds of more than 80 mph early Sunday. Crews cleaned up the grain and loaded it onto trucks.

"This time of year, it's very busy on the farm," said Terry Borstad, a farmer from Cando who farms near Starkweather. "This is going to make it a little more difficult."

Borstad said two of his buildings were destroyed, and tractors, trucks and grain carts were damaged. He said his grain was flat in the field, though some of it might come back.

Rick Spidahl's farm, seven miles northeast of Starkweather, was left in ruins, said his nephew, Jaime Spidahl. The family lost six bins, a steel shed, a single garage, a three-car garage and a chicken house, he said. Winds picked up the three-car garage and threw it into a nearby field, leaving the vehicles behind, he said.

Near Hampden, where winds were reported at more than 100 mph, the Cenex Harvest States Elevator had roof damage and lost a grain storage unit. Major damage to bins also was reported at grain elevators in the towns of Loma and Garske.

Cregg Stein, of Alsen, said he lost windows out of his tractors, a harrow and 11 bins.

"Six weeks before harvest; I'll never get the bins back up in time. What do I do with the grain?" he asked. "Put it on the ground, I guess."

Across from his farmyard, a transmission line was left in pieces.

"As soon as the storm went through, it was a nice day," said Borstad, who was one of the volunteers. "I'll remember this Father's Day for a long time."

Heavy rains in eastern North Dakota also have hurt farmers.

Ron Adams and his son Nick, who farm land near Reynolds, Grand Forks and Northwood, said about 40 percent of their acres are drowned out, damaged or too wet to plant.

"Most of the time you're better off with a little extra (rain) than not enough," Ron Adams said. "Now we have way too much."

In Grand Forks County, wet weather has prevented farmers from planting about 100,000 acres, county agricultural officials estimate. Rain drowned out or damaged another 30,000 acres.

Dave McShane, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Forks who surveyed the damage from Sunday's storm, said that in one part of Benson County the wind downed power poles "east and west, as far as one could see."

In Langdon, McShane said, the wind destroyed an average of five trees per block. It hit about 6 a.m., Sunday, at about 90 mph.

Cavalier Police Officer David Peterson said he was driving his cruiser through the storm early Sunday, checking on damage.

"Gravel was blowing around and hitting my windshield like hail," Peterson said. "Trees were bending to the point of all most touching the ground, and some of them snapped."

He said no injuries were reported.

McShane said forecasters verified two tornadoes, in the F-0 to F-1 range. One was in eastern Pierce County, along the southwest corner of Long Lake, and the other was in Benson County in a shelterbelt, he said. But the straight-line winds did more damage, he said.
