Power has been restored to most of those who lost it during Sunday's severe storms.
Xcel Energy spokeswoman Patti Nystuen said fewer than 700 customers are without power in the east Twin Cities area, including the hardest hit city of Hugo.
And fewer than 80 customers remain without electricity in the west metro area.
Nystuen said about 20,000 lost power Sunday during the worst of it.
Crews are expected to restore power on Monday to the remaining customers affected by the storms.
