WINONA, Minn. – Downed power lines, trees and debris blocked alleys and streets in the city and up coulees and on bluff-top croplands from one end of Winona County to the other during storms Tuesday evening. All roads were passable by dawn, police said. The city alone had 17 incidents of trees and limbs posing road hazards, police and parks crews cleared away. Trees were blown into three houses in the city but with no apparent structural damage. Through it all, no injuries were reported. In two separate incidents, sheriff’s deputies herded cows and horses off roads and back inside fencing that had been torn up. The Rushford-based MiEnergy co-op had 1,700 outages, all of them back on line by 4 a.m.
