Severe weather that passed through during the day knocked out power for 74,000 customers across Minnesota. The vast majority of outages are in the metro, with more than 45,000 customers without power in Hennepin and Ramsey counties alone.

A second night of strong storms in Minnesota caused downed trees and left thousands without power in the Twin Cities metro.

Jeff Skindelien, who lives a mile south of Sunburg, was at a house without power on Monday attempting to clear away debris and fix broken siding that was ripped away in the storm. James Skindelien, his brother who owned the home, died unexpectedly a month ago.
