(CNN) — A tornado killed a two-year-old child and seriously injured nine people — including another child — in a storm that tore through suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota, authorities said. The tornado struck Hugo, about 25 miles north of Minneapolis, destroying 50 homes and damaging another 150, city manager Mike Ericson told CNN. The National Weather Service confirmed the tornado in Hugo that touched down just after 5:30 p.m. (6:30 ET), and authorities reported twisters in nearby Coon Rapids and Blain. Video from the scene showed chairs, televisions, shingles and other debris tossed into the streets of the 11,500 population Hugo. Nickel-sized hail and larger pelted the suburb. |
