On Friday, August 11th, at approximately 5:30 PM, a severe storm hit the Twin Cities metro area, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Oak Grove, Rockford, Golden Valley, Plymouth, Robbinsdale, and Minneapolis bore the brunt of the storm, with hailstones ranging from the size of a quarter (1 inch) to as large as a baseball (3 inches).
Such hailstones can cause significant damage to homes. Roofs, in particular, can suffer from broken or dislodged shingles, leading to potential leaks. Siding can be dented or cracked, windows can shatter, and gutters can be dented or detached.
