📢 Minnesota severe thunderstorm response update 📢
Early Wednesday morning, the City of Hoffman, Minnesota, suffered severe storm damage, including downed trees and power lines, resulting in damaged homes, no power, and a train derailment.
Thanks to the Grant County Sheriff's Office - MN for reaching out to the Red Cross for support. Six Red Cross workers conducted a damage assessment and continue to distribute emergency supplies, water, and snacks to community members out of the Hoffman City Hall.
Despite the damage and lack of power, Hoffman residents were in good spirits and appreciated the water and supplies. We were able to connect with residents and hear their stories regarding the storm and how they were feeling. We saw neighbors helping each other and children playing, showing that there is no shortage of kindness in the Hoffman community. 💕
