MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Minnesota National Guard is responding to Clay County, Minnesota, where vehicles have been left stranded during a blizzard warning along Interstate 94 between Fergus Falls and Moorhead.
In a news release on Wednesday, Sen. Rob Kupec says Gov. Tim Walz has deployed the Minnesota National Guard to assist motorists and residents amid blizzard conditions.
"In light of the severe weather in Clay County, I am thankful for both the intervention of Governor Walz and the National Guard for responding to assist Minnesotans in my district — many of whom are stranded due to the blizzard. I urge all who can to stay home and to use extreme caution for necessary travel. Furthermore, I will continue to fight for proposals to invest in infrastructure built to withstand severe weather."
