No injuries or major damage is reported from storms that hit Iowa with strong winds, large hail and numerous tornadoes and funnel clouds.
Across the border in Minnesota, at least three people died after a series of tornadoes tore through the state Thursday night.
The storms took aim on northern Iowa Thursday afternoon into the evening. Tornadoes were reported in Winnebago and Kossuth counties. Trees and power poles were damaged near Algona.
Trees also were damaged in Mason City and Clear Lake, where winds reached almost 70 mph.
More storms are likely on Friday, and some could be severe during the afternoon and evening.
