July 1 2011 Massive central Minnesota high wind event!

A weak cold front with a subtle short wave riding up sets off a nice little supercell which dropped 4"+ hail, then a bow which crippled the central Minnesota power grid, and finally a wide swath of 50-70+ mph outflow winds on the back side which really stirred up the local lakes!
