 We'll start the Minnesota Connection with some headlines. A few dozen homes and businesses in the Twin Cities remain without electricity this morning in the wake of severe storms yesterday afternoon that caused street flooding and knocked out power to thousands in the metro area. Xcel Energy reports about 10,000 customers without power in the immediate wake of the storms. Parts of Minneapolis saw an inch or two of rain in less than an hour. Storms also dropped hail and downed trees yesterday near Redwood Falls.
