Severe Storms: Tornado, Hail Hit St. Michael, Albertville

From a winter storm April 20 to a summer-like storm 20 days later, Mother Nature knows how to dish it out.

Trained spotters eyed a pair of tornadoes near Eull's Manufacturing in St. Michael, and ping-pong ball sized hail fell on Albertville, as the storm swept through the area around 8 p.m. Tuesday night. 

Cold air aloft provided the perfect mixture for hail, which fell twice. Marble-sized hail fell around 7:30 p.m. in St. Michael, interrupting (briefly) the city council meeting there. Then, as that meeting ended the sirens sounded, right on a Wright County Deputy's cue. 

"Meeting adjourned," said Mayor Jerry Zachman, just as the sirens began to wail.

The funnels made their way south of St. Michael, and a wall cloud hung over the central intersection of town (Wright County 19 and Highway 241) as the storm crept its way through.
