A line of severe storms Monday night downed trees, dropped torrential rain and knocked out power to more than 100,000 homes and businesses across a wide swath of southern and central Minnesota, the Twin Cities area and western Wisconsin.

And the St. Paul Police Department unveiled the updated entrance to the Eastern District building — now known as the Ron Ryan Jr. Eastern District, honoring the officer shot and killed in the line of duty 30 years ago.

This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
