MINNESOTA HAIL STORM

A severe storm ripped through the western metro area of Minneapolis – St. Paul, Minnesota today. Hail up to the size of a grapefruit (4-1/4″ hail), driven by winds in excess of 60 miles per hour, produced extensive hail damage in Watkins and Cold Spring Minnesota. Golf ball sized hail was reported in Delano, Minnetrista, St. Bonifacious, Watertown, Staples, Chaska and Eden Prairie Minnesota. A tornado was spotted in Kingston, Minnesota at 4:07 pm and in Watertown, Minnesota at 5:03 pm as the storm traveled southeast through west central Minnesota.

This storm provided Minnesota property owners with another round of heavy rain, high winds and large hail. A severe weather watch was in effect for Becker, Carver, Crow Wing Hennepin Houston Hubbard Meeker, Morrison, Otter Tail, Stearns, Todd, Wadena, Wilkin, Winona and Wright counties as the storm progressed through the entire state. Hail damaged cars, homes, businesses and crops as a result of this powerful Minnesota summer storm.
