[See antecedent conditions written in brackets under Ramsey county]. In Steele county, many roads were closed. This prompted the Steele County Sheriff to advise no travel on secondary roads. Two county roads had culverts washed out. There were 2 separate close calls near Golden Lake, where drivers attempted to cross flooded roads. In each instance, the people were able to get out of their vehicles. However, one vehicle was swept into a flooded creek and was a total loss.
