    Two rounds of severe storms battered Minnesota on Wednesday, bringing large hail, strong winds and monsoon-like rain to much of the state.

    Winds gusts in excess of 60 mph and baseball-sized hail were reported in the areas hardest-hit by the bow echo that swept across the state.

    Meanwhile pretty much every area in the line of the storm was impacted by at-times ridiculous amounts of rainfall, with a heavy round late afternoon followed by another overnight.
