 For NPR News in the Twin Cities, I'm Kelly Blyer. Severe storms overnight dropped large hail down trees and knocked out power to thousands across Minnesota. The storms formed late last night near Moorhead and Pelican Rapids and moved southeast, reaching the Twin Cities during the early morning hours. MSP reported a wind gust of 62 miles per hour just after 1 a.m. Weather spotters reported hailstones larger than baseballs near Monticello.
