A strong microburst wind resulted in one death in Utah County. The fatality occurred at a baseball park in Pleasant Grove, when a gust of wind blew a 250-pound portable pitching mound over, striking the 13-year-old boy in the head.
A severe thunderstorm produced nickle-size hail and very heavy downpours in the Pleasant Grove area. Rainfall amounts of .78 inches in 15 minutes produced street flooding.
