Residents of several counties south of the Twin Cities begin cleaning up late Thursday after fierce storms, including possible tornadoes, damaged structures and downed power lines and trees. In the metro area, heavy rain flooded some streets and creeks during the windy deluge, which swept eastward through the metro area and other parts of southern Minnesota. Several homes and businesses were damaged in hard-hit Cannon Falls where downed trees and power lines continued to block streets and school was called off Friday.
