| Episode Narrative | A mesoscale convective system developed overnight in South Dakota and traversed across southern Minnesota, producing severe hail, wind, and a tornado. The system continued into West Central Wisconsin where it continued to produce severe wind and hail. The tornado touched down in Kandiyohi County and mostly hit trees and crops, but it did cause significant damage to a couple of large metal buildings. There were numerous reports of downed trees and power lines in a swath from the South Dakota border, eastward into the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities. Although there were multiple reports of large hail, and some were measured up to golf ball size, the combination of strong winds and hail, took a toll on property, especially in the Twin Cities metro area. The county of Anoka reported some areas receiving up to two feet of hail which caused several cities to use snow plows. The county of Anoka also reported $650,000 in damage to public property and infrastructure. Wind speeds were measured in several areas up to 70 knots indicating the severity of the storms as torrential rain and hail accompanied the wind. During the height of the storm, roughly 150,000 Xcel Energy customers were without power for several hours. One of the most dramatic incidents of damage occurred to the Monticello High School baseball dugout. A weather spotter said the cinder block structure was destroyed by the force of the storm. In that same city, a large tree toppled and landed on a home. Two people were trapped when a damaged tree fell on them in St. Paul. The two adults had been standing near the tree after the storm passed through, when the tree collapsed and trapped them. Only minor injuries were reported. This storm also delayed some of the cyclists that were taking part in a weekend MS150 charity ride from Duluth to St. Paul. |
| Event Narrative | A tornado was associated with a quasi-linear storm complex. It mostly hit trees and crops, but during the latter half of its path, the tornado did move across or just south of a couple metal farm buildings, causing heavy damage. |
