Flash Floods Submerge Southern Minnesota; I-90 Closures Prompt Rescues in Austin, Adams, LeRoy
Heavy rainfall caused flash floods across southern Minnesota, trapping people and pets in Adams and LeRoy and flooding Austin; I-90 was closed overnight due to water over the freeway and reopened by sunrise after rescues. 4–7 inches of rain fell in Mower County, Beaver Creek Valley State Park remains closed for debris cleanup, and damage assessments are planned as flood warnings linger for the Cedar River and local creeks. A heat wave is forecast for Sunday into next week.
