Photos from Freeport, Minnesota in Stearns County, about 25 miles west of St. Cloud, show golf ball-sized hails that fell. A little bit to the southwest, Tom Brenden reported similar sized hail balls there.
The weather moved across the state, west to east, throughout the afternoon before pushing through the Twin Cities in the evening hours.
