Disasters

St. Paul prepped for flooding
St. Paul has buttoned up its downtown riverfront for the second time this year, as Mississippi flood waters are set to crest there in the city weekend. Record rains dating back as early as the spring are to blame.
Four people were taken to the hospital after they were thrown from a boat on Lake Minnetonka.
Flood impacts assessed
Federal disaster relief officials are touring the 35 counties that suffered flooding in southeastern Minnesota last week. But the high water continues in some areas closing roads and causing damage.
