Lightning Bolt Strikes St. Cloud Garage, Minor Damage
ST. CLOUD - The thunderstorm that moved through the St. Cloud metro area wasn't severe, but it did produce a lot of lightning.

The heavy rain in the 5:00 a.m. hour also produced some flash flooding. We had 1.43 inches of rain here at the radio station in east St. Cloud.
