Numerous sources from social media pictures to trained spotters reported and measured very large hail for nearly 35 minutes from the Carver, Hennepin County line east to Eden Prairie, and Bloomington. The largest hailstone was measured at 1.25 inches in diameter and fell in West Bloomington. Radar suggested larger hail was possible, but there were no pictures or observations to indicate any larger hailstones. Many roofs and cars were damaged.
A large tree was blown down near the Eden Prairie, Chanhassen line. The tree landed on a car. There was a measured wind report of 45 mph at the Flying Cloud airport.
Several reports of large hail occurred near in the intersection of Highway 62 and Interstate 494, southward around Eden Prairie Center and the junction of 494 and 169. The largest hail stone was quarter size.
One to two feet of flooding reported along portions of Highway 5. Several feet of water at I-494 and Portland Avenue, resulting in a number of stalled cars.
Pea size hail (0.25 inch. in diameter) up to one foot deep collected near storm drains near Hennepin Technical College and Hwy 212. Pea size hail also reported about 4 inches deep on grass near Hwy 5 and Mitchell Rd.
