Trees were toppled in Austin and Brownsdale, and tens of thousands of people are without power in southeastern Minnesota after a powerful storm downed power lines and caused flash flooding and damage from hail the size of golf balls.

Xcel Energy reported about 76,000 customers were without service early Wednesday, down from about 130,000 at the height of the storm Tuesday night.

The National Weather Service reported a tornado touchdown in Wabasha County, but there were no immediate reports of widespread damage. Wind gusts of nearly 80 miles per hour uprooted trees and scattered large branches across roadways.

The weather service reported gusts of about 47 mph in Austin just before 9 p.m.

The Star Tribune reports first responders rescued people from their vehicles after water quickly flooded streets in Roseville and Fridley. The storm delayed the Minnesota Twins game at Target Field and diverted some flights at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

High temperatures are expected to reach the low to mid-80s today and on Thursday.

Thunderstorms are possible again both nights. Systems could bring downpours, gusty winds and hail to the region.
