## Resource

Central Minnesota braced for a wild Friday as severe storms unleashed hailstorms so intense they forced drivers off I-694 and turned lawns into icy snowdrifts—while parked cars and neighborhoods in Waite Park and Columbia Heights took the brunt of the barrage. Over 13,000 homes and businesses remained without power late Friday night as crews raced to restore electricity after a night of chaos and cleanup.
