Wabasha Got Pounded Last Night

Lots of trees down, I had to shovel the hail off my deck. And the rain was unreal. Lots of local flooding.. Anyway Just wanted say good luck to the guys fishing the St. Jude tournement this weekend.

Lakeland, MN didn’t see a drop of rain.

Good Luck St Judes supporters!!

Was there any damage reported in lake City? Refering to around the Marina area.

Thanks

Just missed town with over an inch of rain is all there. Just south though reports of 3+ft. of golf ball sized hail on the shoulders after plows came through. Pretty crazy storm.

my mom and step dads 32ft pontoon is missing, their dock is up side down on neighbors rip rap, both neighbors south of them their docks are up side down in the water.

pontoon was located this afternoon with a short search there is some damage to it but nothing that we cant fix

Ma and I worked in Red Wing today and took 63 to Lake City, then 61 to RW. Man, what a pile of sites to see.

For about a mile before you go down the big hill just west of Lake City the fields showed signs of water running thru fields and OVER the tops of barbed wire fences. Barn yards looked to have been underwater.

In three spots along this stretch, hail was in valleys and field gullies next to the high way to depths of what looked like 6 to 8 feet deep where it had been washed out of fields. All along this mile of hiways the shoulders of the highway had piles of hail that resembled snowdrifts. At 7 tonight on our way home the deep gullies and ditches still had mountains of hail still melting and spots where it had accumulated like snow closer to the shoulders were still plainly visible.

A one mile swath from hell is what it looked like. Tonight cars were lined up taking pictures. Unreal.

At one point the highway, shoulder to shoulder, was green from all the chopped leaves this morning. From the bridge at the bottom of the big hill all the way to the cemetary at Lake City you could see how wild the water had been. Ironically, I don’t think Lake City appeared to have had a bit of bad weather. Red Wing hardly got wet.

Our house was pretty much ground zero. The first picture is at our house. The hail is around 10′ thick. The 2n hail picture covers around 10 acred and around 6′ thick. It will be around a long time! My equipment shed washed out with campers, farm equipment and vehicles destroyed. Just happy it did not get quite to our house. The hail was absolutely unbelievable!!!

We drove past the same area yesterday and there is still huge banks of ice piled up. Maybe take some time or serious heat to get rid of it. I heard one prediction of two weeks.

10 FEET?? 6 FEET? that is incredible.. anyone have any more pictures or news stories to share? I’d like to see this hail piled up..
