Austin, MN- Austin's mayor is calling his city "lucky" after Wednesday night's storm.

Mayor Tom Stiehm says he's glad no one is seriously hurt.  Stiehm says power is now restored to nearly the entire community, but he says Austin is still vulnerable to weather danger.

"I pull up the weather for the next ten days and it's looking like you know we could have rain almost everyday scattered storms for the next two weeks and that could be an issue if we keep getting water because we're saturated right now, and of course we've had floods every four years," Stiehm said.

The mayor says most of the damage came from falling trees.  He's thanking everyone who is helping with the cleanup.
