The city temporarily closed access to the Park Point neighborhood in Duluth Monday evening due to high water. Portions of Canal Park and Brighton Beach in Duluth were closed earlier.
About 9,000 Minnesota Power customers lost service at the height of the storm. Only a few dozen customers were still without power Tuesday morning.
Officials urged caution to motorists crossing the bridges between Duluth and Superior because of the strong wind and heavy rain.
