 NICOLLET, Minn. (AP) - Lumber from obliterated buildings was scattered among corn stalks, concrete foundations were exposed where houses once stood and silos were crushed like empty aluminum cans after deadly storms swept across the northern Plains with twisters and large hail.
In southern Minnesota, 70 homes were lost, dozens more structures suffered damage and hundreds of cattle were killed or on the loose. Some wandering cattle caused car accidents a day after the storm, officials said Friday.
"There's a lot of devastation," said Tom Doherty, chief deputy in the Le Sueur County Sheriff's Office. "We have areas that you can't believe a house was there. Crops, you wouldn't even know there was a crop there. Cornfields, there's nothing left."
