USA - Heavy Rain & Hail Pound Northwestern Minnesota

Enough is enough…. more thunderstorms this weekend have left northeastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota water logged. Some of yesterday’s storms in the northern Valley also carried hail, larger than golf balls. This was just north of Crookston at 3:45 Sunday afternoon, besides the heavy rain, you can hear light hail smacking into the car. This morning, water was still running off the fields at Alvarado, 20 miles north of East Grand Forks. They also received some small areas of golf ball to near tennis ball sized hail.

Some of yesterday’s storms in the northern Valley also carried hail, larger than golf balls. This was just north of Crookston at 3:45 Sunday afternoon, besides the heavy rain, you can hear light hail smacking into the car.

This morning, water was still running off the fields at Alvarado, 20 miles north of East Grand Forks. They also received some small areas of golf ball to near tennis ball sized hail.

At this point it’s not clear exactly how much damage was done to crops around Alvarado. It appears the damage was very isolated.

Ransel Anderson was on his way to see his crop insurance agent today. He wasn’t sure yet, how much, if any crop damage the hail may have caused. The fields are still too wet to get in and take a good look.
