| Episode Narrative | Thunderstorms developed early Thursday morning across North Dakota, and moved southeast across west-central Minnesota, and eventually across central and east central Minnesota by the afternoon. As thunderstorms redeveloped during the afternoon and evening across portions of the southern metro area, flash flooding became a concern with the hardest hit areas from Northfield to Cannon Falls and the eastern Minnesota border. The morning and afternoon storms produced mainly large hail around the metro area. As the storms moved farther south, several boundaries aided in the continuation of thunderstorms across the southern metro area. The storm drenched the region where flash flooding occurred with up to 10 inches of rain, turning golf course greens to ponds and roads into rivers. The hardest hit areas in terms of flooding was from Northfield, northeast to Cannon Falls, and Red Wing where up to 10 inches of rain fell in less than 6 hours. The rainfall and associated flooding, caused closures of major highways, evacuations of 50 homes along the Cannon River, dozens of rescues from people stranded in cars, and one tour bus near the Treasure Island Resort and Casino area. Plus, there was substantial damage to parks, especially Miesville Ravine Park Reserve, where 1,800 square feet of boardwalk and two parking lots were washout or destroyed. Damages were estimated to around one million dollars alone to this park. At one point, the Little Cannon River near Cannon Falls rose 39 inches in less than 6 hours, and the main Cannon River rose 28 inches, to a level not experienced since the September 2010 flood. There was also wind damage reported between Kenyon, Pine City, and Zumbrota, specifically south of Highway 60 and along Highways 60 and 52. At least one home was severely damaged as well as small buildings and trees. Wind storms and flooding during the period June 14-21 led to Dakota, Goodhue, Kandiyohi, Meeker, Rice and Sibley counties being among those Minnesota counties designated disaster areas by presidential declaration on July 6, 2012. |
