Power is back on for about 75 to 80 percent of Austin as crews clean up after at least two tornadoes touched down Wednesday night around 8.

Austin Utilities is working on restoring power to the rest of the city by the end of the day, general manager Jerry McCarthy said, though the Royal Manor area near Highway 218 could take longer as there is significant damage there.

Along with the area near Highway 218, the areas near Todd Park and the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center reported some of the worst damage, Police Chief Paul Philipp said.

There has been one reported injury so far. Sheriff Terese Amazi said a man was treated and released for a minor hand injury. She said she spoke with the man this morning and he was doing well.

Philipp said the city was fortunate more people weren’t hurt because softball games were going on at Todd Park, and there were people at the nature center when the tornadoes touched down.

Another concern is water levels — Amazi said flood gauges are rising, and they would be monitored closely throughout the day.

Minnesota Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kristine Hernandez said roads and highways in the area are open, though there is some debris on Highway 56 and Interstate 90, and 218 has downed power lines nearby.

Hernandez said the department is advising motorists to avoid 218 if possible.

Amazi said county roads 25 and 45 are closed.

Many stoplights are flashing red, though there are still a few out, Hernandez said.

Last night, one accident occurred while stoplights were out. Philipp said a squad car and another vehicle collided near Fourth Street and 10th Avenue northwest. Both vehicles were substantially damaged, he said, though no injuries were reported.

Philipp said the city will likely be able to take care of cleanup on its own Thursday.

“We’re in good shape,” he said. “We have lots of people out there working.”

Last night, the city received help from the Department of Natural Resources and the state patrol, among others.

More rain is expected during the day in Mower County, according to the National Weather Service.
