Some of the worst damage was spotted in the small city of Forada, Minnesota, just south of Alexandria. Photos and videos from storm chasers show significant damage through a neighborhood along Maple Lake, Minnesota. Officials told FOX 9 the damage impacted 75 structures in the community of only about 175 residents.

Tuesday, FOX 9 saw crews out working to clean up and repair some of the damage from the storms. But it’s clear there is a lot of work left to be done.
