A day after a storm ripped through the western Iron Range, Grand Rapids Mayor Dale Christy saw good coming from a bad situation.
âThe cool part here is with all the division there is in society, you see neighbor helping neighbor,â Christy said. âIt s a good thing.â
For the second time in three days, thunderstorms on Monday evening ripped across northeastern Minnesota.
In Grand Rapids, the destruction was âhorrible,â Julie Kennedy, Grand Rapids Public Utilities general manager said.
âWe had 5,000 outages out of 7,500 customers,â Kennedy said. âWe re annihilated. The town is unbelievable.â
Trees fell on power lines and on homes throughout the city, Kennedy said.
