Explosion disrupts McGregor as downtown shops shut
The McGregor elevator blast forced evacuation within six blocks and barred entry for locals and outsiders except reporters. About 40 remaining businesses lost an estimated 17 000 to 20 000 dollars in sales. Emergency crews, Cargill officials, and DNR officers worked overnight as six empty elevators posed dust hazards.
