NWS investigating possible tornado in northern Minnesota

Our sister station in Minnesota reported Friday morning that officials with the National Weather Service were en route to survey the damage.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Minn. — Crews are assessing the damage in the aftermath of storms that possibly produced a tornado Thursday evening in northern Minnesota.

KARE's Audrey Russo reported Friday morning that officials with the National Weather Service were en route to survey the damage. 

The suspected tornado was reported just east of Cotton, where St. Louis County law enforcement said contained the bulk of the damage.

Crews were seen immediately cleaning up after the storms, clearing snapped trees and branches that dangled over power lines.

The good news, officials said, is that no one was reportedly injured.

The bad news? This is the second time since June that people in Cotton have dealt with storm cleanup.

The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado touched down three months ago to the day.
