After June’s floods, health concerns surface in northeastern Minnesota

It will be weeks until the full extent of damage is known and months until cleanup is complete in Cook and other parts of the state affected by high water.

The banks of the Little Fork River have flooded downtown roads, businesses and homes in Cook after Tuesday’s storm, which caused flooding and washed out roads from the Iron Range of Minnesota to Wisconsin’s Bayfield County. While there was initial flash flooding in Cook during Tuesday’s storm — 4.2 inches of rain fell just north of Cook, according to the National Weather Service — the headwaters of the river near Lake Vermilion saw some of the highest amounts of rain, 7.6 inches at Tower, Minn., causing the river to flood in late afternoon Wednesday and keep rising overnight.
