Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz has declared a state of emergency for six southern counties—Becker, Crow Wing, Fillmore, Houston, Mower, and Winona—after devastating storms between June 28 and July 8 unleashed flash floods and tornadoes. The move unlocks critical state resources to rebuild damaged public infrastructure like roads, bridges, and essential services, focusing on restoring community systems rather than individual homes. Walz praised the emergency management team for swift response and damage assessment, underscoring the scale of destruction while signaling a major step toward recovery for these storm-battered communities.
