Several rounds of heavy rainfall led to signficant flash flooding in portions of east-central Minnesota, and west-central Wisconsin. Several areas in the Twin Cities had signficant street flooding with isolated rainfall amounts of 2 to 5 inches occurring around the City of Minneapolis where several police cars and buses stalled in the flood waters. Prior to the flooding, lines of strong to severe thunderstorms moved across southern and portions of east central Minnesota, where localized wind damage occurred. |
