Dinky town MPLS:

Hail Dime to Quarter Size. Wind strong enough to knock powerlines loose. Lots of rain.

My parter at the PD said they spotted a funnel cloud pass from just north of downtown MPLS, pass over 280/94 area, pass over Falcon Heights (our coverage area), and dissipate. 1/4 to 3/4 inch hail officialy recorded. Winds were stated sustained at 75 mph, with gusts upwards of 100. This all coming from Hennepin County (Saint Anthony PD).

I was outside watching it roll in. The initial rain and wind was tolerable, but presumably when the funnel cloud passed over, I could barely keep my balance outside, and hail really hurts. Lots of debris and rubbish in our area. No major damage
