Condition Upgrade For Girl Injured In Hugo Tornado

ST. PAUL (AP) ― The condition of a 4-year-old girl who lost her brother in the Hugo tornado has been upgraded from critical to fair.

Hospital spokesman John Barrett says Annika Prindle continues to recover at Gillette Children's Hospital in St. Paul.

Annika was blown from her house and found amid the debris in her backyard after the May 25 tornado. She wasn't breathing, and emergency workers revived her twice on the way to the hospital.

Annika's 2-year-old brother, Nathaniel was found dead after the tornado blew him out of their home and into a nearby pond.

Their parents, Christy and Jerry Prindle, were also blown from the house and are recovering from their injuries. They're both out of the hospital.
