    Minnesota (WCCO) — Residents in southern and central parts of Minnesota are starting to see the damage left following Monday’s severe weather.

Farm structures and houses in Kenyon, which is around 60 miles south of Minneapolis, sustained major damage.

The roof of a structure in Kenyon appeared to have completely collapsed on a truck.

The storms largely missed the Twin Cities area, though a large tree branch fell on a car in Minneapolis near Lake Harriet, leaving damage to the front of the vehicle.

In the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis, a power pole was knocked on its side.

Over 4,000 people were without power for around two hours as the severe weather moved through.

The National Weather Service said a tornado was observed near Fairmont and there were “multiple tornado reports” near Winnebago in Faribault County.
