Storms kill 2 campers, Minnesota heat wave continues

A violent storm that ripped through northeastern Minnesota early Thursday killed a 13-year-old Boy Scout and a troop volunteer when a tree fell on their tents.

Two other campers were seriously injured.

From northern Minnesota to the Twin Cities, overnight storms downed trees and power lines, leaving thousands of people without electricity and air conditioning in the midst of a dangerous heat wave that will continue through Friday. Relief from the heat is expected after possible severe storms on Saturday.
