Severe storms with hail and high winds tore across central and southern Minnesota, damaging garage doors and seasonal flowers.

A severe line of thunderstorms raced eastward out of South Dakota and across southern and central Minnesota during the morning hours of June 11. This was the first measurable precipitation in June for many areas. While the rain was welcome, the wind and hail were not. The largest hail reported was the size of hens-eggs at Slayton in Murray County. Golf-ball sized hail was reported in Circle Pines in southern Anoka County and there were many reports of dime-sized hail across the northern Twin Cities. The hail formed small piles along roadways and some hail was still present two hours after the storm ended.

The hail pummeled peonies that were in full bloom across the Twin Cities. Hostas also took a beating.

Strong winds were associated with these storms as well with a gust of 80mph reported near Litchfield in Meeker County. A cinder block dugout was destroyed near Monticello. A storm spotter in Dassel reported a gust of 70mph. Tree damage was reported in various locations with 130,000 Xcel Energy customers without power at one time.
