 Xcel Energy is reporting thousands of homes and businesses still without power in the Twin Cities, mostly in Minneapolis and the western half of the metro, after severe storms moved through this afternoon. As of 6.15 p.m., Xcel said about 7,300 customers were without power in the metro. The storms produced gusty winds and torrential rain, and there were reports of penny-sized hail in Minneapolis. A farmer's market in Coon Rapids was canceled after high winds caused havoc with vendors' tents.
