City crews in Minneapolis are clearing debris this morning, block-by-block, and assessing damage from a tornado. Residents of hard-hit north Minneapolis emerged from their homes after taking cover yesterday to see trees uprooted and roofs torn off. At least one person was killed and 33 other people were taken to hospitals.
