Five Years After Tornadoes, Buffalo Lake Recovers

BUFFALO LAKE, Minn. (AP) ― Buffalo Lake Mayor Joyce Nyhus says her town is almost better now that it was five years ago when tornadoes ripped through it.
  
Main Street has been rebuilt. The businesses local residents worried most about -- a grocery store and bakery -- have reopened. Homes have been repaired.
  
She says the most visible sign of the disaster is the trailer the Post Office still works out of. She's hopeful it will be replaced by a permanent building.
  
She says there's no better sign of the town's progress than how normal things are now after the disaster of June 24th, 2003.
  
Then, three tornadoes hit the town with wind speeds reaching 157 miles per hour. No one died, but the storm destroyed 15 homes and businesses and caused more than $6 million in damage.
