As a large area of thunderstorms moved out of Minnesota during the late morning hours of Saturday, June 14 strong winds developed as the rain tapered off. These winds were widespread and caused some damage to trees and was a bane to people setting up for high school graduation parties. Winds were also strong enough to capsize boats on Lake Minnetonka, with people getting thrown into the water. The peak gust at the Twin Cities International Airport was 68mph and was the highest gust found with this event.
