Storm-weary central US braces for one more day of possibly severe weather after tornado outbreak

Multiple destructive twisters struck the central US on Friday afternoon during a tornado outbreak that capped a weeklong stretch of severe storms in the region. A lower severe weather threat remains possible Saturday as the same cold front pushes east.

The multistate storms exploded to life and wasted no time showing what they were capable of. At least two tornadoes tracked through the greater Rochester, Minnesota, area, and some were even caught on traffic cameras. No injuries were reported in Rochester’s Olmsted County, but there was widespread damage, the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post.

Rows of homes and buildings were damaged or destroyed, with numerous roofs or entire stories missing, according to aerial video captured by CNN affiliate KARE.

Marion, Minnesota, was one of the hardest-hit areas, reporting damage to approximately 30 homes, with about 10 other homes damaged in other parts of the county, the post said. One video showed debris and tree branches strewn across front yards, with some homes having damaged roofs.
