Tally begins on Austin damage

Thursday was too early to get an estimated cost of tornado damage in Austin, but administrative services director Tom Dankert said insurance will cover much of it.
Items to be fixed or replaced include the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center’s roof, different structures at Todd Park, a stoplight controller near the A&W on Fourth Street NW, a cop car and various trees.
Austin has insurance through the League of Minnesota Cities. That plan has a $25,000 deductible. Dankert said an insurance adjuster was in Austin Thursday to assess and document the damage.
