In Minnesota, a single-engine plane trying to tend Sunday night at the St. Paul airport during heavy snow and high winds hit a wire supporting a radio tower and crashed in Woodbury, killing all four people aboard.

About a foot of snow fell over much of southern and central Minnesota and northeastern Nebraska with 9.1 inches reported in Minneapolis-St. Paul and winds gusted above 55 mph in places. A sheriff's dispatcher in Nobles County, said power lines were down and many motorists were standed. Hotels were full and officials were trying to open emergency shelters. A state highway official in Marshall, said highway crews had already removed snctwplows from their trucks, but were busy putting them back on.

The tornado hit Mannford, population 1,600, about 10:45 a.m., just as church-goers were finishing Sunday school services. Virgil Loren Athens, about 70, had driven his pickup truck to the Mannford Assembly Church of God to pick fup his wife when his truck was hurtled 75 yards into the Mannford Elementary School, where it was crushed and covered with debris, killing him.

An estimated 45 homes in Mannford were destroyed or extensively damaged, officials said. The same tornado touched down for about 10 seconds in nearby Prue, a town of 550. Cora White, 78, said "everybody was crying" after the walls of the Prue Assembly of God Church collapsed onto the pews. Only nine people were injured badly enough to need hospitalization, officials said. Of the 180 to 200 houses in Prue, 64 were destroyed and 17 others damaged, said Betty Seaman of the American Red Cross.

Officials estimated 50 people were injured in Mannford and Prue.
