Duluth Mayor Don Ness played tour guide for Gov. Mark Dayton this morning, showing some of the worst-affected areas of the hillside and eastern Duluth, including the severely buckled Vermilion Road.
"It’s just terrible devastation; the awesome, destructive power of nature," Dayton said while viewing the Vermilion Road situation. "We’ll do everything we can as rapidly as possible. But it’s going to take time" to rebuild.
Officials said damages are estimated at $50 million to $80 million for just public facilities and infrastructure, just in the city of Duluth.
