Event Narrative:    Heavy rain of four to five inches fell in less than two hours in some locales. Flooding was reported in Blaine at the intersection of Highway 65 and Main Street. The intersection of University Avenue and 73rd in Fridley was impassable due to high water, and street flooding was reported elsewhere in Fridley. Street flooding was also reported in Coon Rapids and Spring Lake Park. The city manager in Coon Rapids measured 4.25 inches. Four to five inches of rain fell in less than two hours, causing flooding of numerous streets and intersections. High water resulted in impassable conditions at Highway 96 and Lexington in Shoreview. Two destructive storms swept across Anoka County, knocking over tens of thousands of trees, blowing roofs off houses, and producing large hail and two tornadoes. See separate reports for the hail and tornadoes. One storm moved across northwestern and central Anoka County, and the other tracked across southern Anoka County. The property damage report of $85 Million dollars covers all damage from wind and hail in Anoka County on 9-21-05. Many cities declared a state of emergency.The first storm knocked down three foot diameter trees in Ramsey and tipped over vehicles at an RV dealership. In Andover, several homes had roofs completely blown off, where the strongest downburst winds were estimated to have reached 85 knots. Numerous garages and sheds were blown apart. A portion of a gym roof was torn off at a school. About 10% of roads were blocked by fallen trees. The storm also moved across Coon Rapids, where 500 trees were felled at Bunker Hills Golf Course, the roof was blown off an office building, a fourplex had its roof partially blown off, and the Riverview neighborhood was "smothered" in downed trees. This storm was accompanied by two tornadoes, one in Andover and another tracking from Coon Rapids to Blaine (see separate tornado entries). The F0 tornado in Andover produced very little damage, but was accompanied by a very strong rear flank downdraft, which did the vast majority of the damage in Andover.The second storm tracked across southern Anoka County, affecting Fridley the most. This was the storm that produced significant damage over Hennepin County, and later on, Ramsey County. In Fridley, several thousands of trees were toppled, causing structural damage to about 400 homes. Many roads were blocked and about 90% of the city lost power. Three people were injured when clearing fallen trees. A damage survey revealed both inflow and downburst damage as the mesocyclone tracked over Fridley. Spring Lake Park and Columbia Heights also saw hundreds of downed trees, some on houses and across roads. An RV dealershp saw all 140 vehicles damaged by hail, including 12 that were totaled. Hail larger than golf balls went through grills and dented radiators. Torrential rain quickly flooded roads and intersections. Water was up to car windows at an intersection in Maple Grove, and one road in Brooklyn Park flooded to a depth of five feet. Single Creek in Brooklyn Park was reported out of its banks. High water caused stalled cars in Brooklyn Center, near Brookdale Shopping Center. There was an unofficial report of eight inches rain in Rogers, and street flooding was reported in Champlin. Two people sustained minor injuries when lightning struck a nearby tree. A severe storm moved out of Anoka County and across northern Ramsey County, from Moundsview and New Brighton to White Bear Lake and North St Paul, knocking down tens of thousands of trees in those cities, as well as in Little Canada, Arden Hills, Maplewood, Vadnais Heights, Roseville, and St. Anthony. An NWS damage survey indicated damage from both the inflow and the rear flank downdraft as the mesocyclone moved through New Brighton. The St. Paul ASOS (Holman Field) measured 62 mph at 1837 CST. Several cities declared a state of emergency. Numerous roads were blocked. One child was injured in New Brighton from a tree limb crashing down. One person died in Moundsview while clearing their property.Many trees toppled onto houses, and one home in New Brighton was rendered uninhabitable. Two houses in Shoreview were damaged to the point of needing to be rebuilt. The roof of a mobile home in Moundsview was blown off. At one point, 90% of New Brighton was without power. The property damage report of $25 Million dollars covers all wind and hail reports from this storm in Ramsey County for 9-21-05. Large branches downed. Torrential rain produced over four inches of rain in less than two hours. Two county roads northwest of Monticello were covered with water, and intersections in Monticello were flooded with water two feet deep. Streets and intersections flooded in Albertville and St. Michael. A damage survey determined that the tornado touched down in the east central portion of Coon Rapids, only a few blocks west of the border with Blaine. It traveled east-southeast causing mostly F0 to F1 damage at first, but strengthened to F2 status near the intersection of Jefferson Street and 104th Court. The tornado dissipated only 1/4 mile west of the National Sports Center complex. Ten homes were rendered uninhabitable, and thirty others were damaged to a lesser extent. A woman suffered minor injuries when she was blown from the upper story of her home into a tree. Hail covered the ground. Roof off shed. Highway signs down. Numerous trees down. Pole barn roof torn off. A damage survey determined there was a brief touchdown just to the north of significant rear flank downdraft damage in Andover (see separate entry for thunderstorm wind in Anoka County). The tornado traveled along 142nd Avenue, from just west of Tamarack Avenue, to just east of the intersection of 142nd and 143rd Avenues. Brief touchdown near the intersection of County Roads 23 and 2. No damage. A damage survey determined there was a brief tornado just north of widespread and significant wind damage in Brooklyn Park. The tornado touched down just west of the intersection of Oxbow Creek Drive and Kyle Avenue. Few trees down, including one across a county road.
