Heavy rain, flooding on North Shore; MN union members rally for striking auto workers

The most rain over the past few days has fallen around the French river, on the North Shore of Lake Superior. More than 7 inches of rain that led the streams and rivers from Duluth to Two Harbors to turn into raging torrents of water.

Members from unions across Minnesota are rallying Tuesday alongside striking workers outside the Stellantis parts distribution center in Plymouth. Workers at the Plymouth facility joined the nationwide UAW strike Friday.
