| Episode Narrative | A significant, widespread severe weather outbreak occurred across a large portion of central and east central Minnesota. A powerful mid summer storm system over the western Dakotas, combined with warm moist air surging northward from the Gulf of Mexico, provided the ingredients for tornadoes, destructive winds, and large hail across parts of the Northland. In addition, several storms in the Cass Lake and Lake Winnibigoshish area of north central Minnesota produced a large amount of one to two inch diameter hail, which is about quarter to slightly larger than golf ball size. |
| Event Narrative | Substantial wind damage was reported. The wind blew hard enough to blow water through seals around windows of the campground lodge. A 100 pound access cover on the roof was thrown the entire length of the roof. Siding and shingles were damaged and thrown about. Covers were taken off the boat lift. Trees were downed, and a few were uprooted and sheared off. |
