MPR’s Tim Nelson reports on the damage, death, and havoc left behind after tornadoes struck areas of southern Minnesota. The severe weather knocked out power and devastated a handful of farms near Albert Lea. For some, their livelihoods were all but wiped out by the storm.

On June 17, 2010, the largest tornado outbreak on record in Minnesota produced 48 confirmed tornadoes in the state. The tornadoes produced heavy damage in northwestern, central, and far southern Minnesota, with three of them rated as EF4 (considered “devasting” on Enhanced Fujita scale). Three people died from the tornado outbreak.
