It’s been a day of cleaning up on the grounds of the Minnesota State Fair, after not one but two rounds of severe storms pummeled the Twin Cities.

The fair gates usually open at 7:00 each morning, but fair officials delayed today’s opening until 9 a.m. to give time to assess and clean up damage from this morning’s severe storms.

That story and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Kelly Bleyer. Music by Gary Meister.
