On This Date in Minnesota History: June 22

June 22, 2013 – After two days of high winds and heavy rains, it was a water main break near one of the main intersections in downtown Robbinsdale, Minn.–42nd Avenue and Highway 81–that caused a 20 foot deep, 20 yard wide sinkhole. The 36-inch pipe that broke had been put in place in 1963.
