St. Paul, Minn. — Tornadoes ripped across Minnesota on Thursday evening, killing at least three people and injuring dozens more as homes were flattened, trees toppled and a gas station destroyed.
Some of the hardest-hit areas were in the northwest part of the state, where two of the deaths were reported.
One person is confirmed dead in Almora, a small town of about 20 people, after a tornado destroyed the home of an elderly couple. At least two people were injured. Brittney Schulke of Almora told The Daily Journal that her grandmother, Margie Schulke, was killed and that her grandfather, Norman Schulke, suffered two broken shoulders.
Polk County Sheriff's officials said that a man died in the northwestern city of Mentor after a tornado ripped through a gas station at about 6:30 p.m. Three other people were injured.
Freeborn County officials also reported a death related to the tornadoes.
Some of the worst damage appears to be in Wadena, a city of about 4,000, where a large tornado struck at about 5 p.m. Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene with debris strewn across the city, and roads jammed with people looking for loved ones.
