Bentleyville sustained extensive damage during Wednesday evening's storm.

According to a post on Bentleyville's Facebook page, they are looking for volunteers to help assist them clean up Thursday, beginning at 9:30am.

"We are asking any and all people that are able to assist Bentleyville, starting at 9:30 am on Thursday. We are in GREAT NEED of help to be able to try and reopen. Damage is heartbreaking," the post said.

This came after the Blatnik bridge closed for several hours and the DTA moved to emergency mainline service, due to severe weather.

The City of Duluth has advised the public to avoid unnecessary travel as they work to clear the roads.
