    Thousands are still without power in northern lower Michigan after severe storms moved through the state on Tuesday night.  At least 4 tornadoes have been confirmed and much straight line wind damage in the […]

    • Thanks for the great report Cathie. I dug up some more information on the 4 confirmed tornadoes from the Gaylord MI NWS website. I didn’t see an F2 tornado in this report – 2 F0 and 2 F1 tornadoes and they didn’t use Lapeer that I could see. But they mentioned the same counties you did. Perhaps the F2 tornado you reported from Lapeer was evaluated for strength under further review after this NWS report, found at the following NWS website:

    • Hi again Cathie. I double checked the location of Lapeer and found it considerably south of the Gaylord MI forecast office area of responsibility (AOR). It showed up in Google Maps east of Flint and within the Detroit/Pontiac NWS forecast office AOR. So I went to their page and unfortunately they apparently did not go out to Lapeer that I could see and check out this tornado and issue a report like the Gaylord office did. The NWS office out of Detroit/Pontiac does have a limited storm report for August 28, and it is at this website:

    • I found out that the F2 tornado was just north east of West Branch. It wasn’t Lapeer.

      • Thanks Cathie. Makes more sense. I found West Branch on my Large Print Road Atlas. Looks like it is about 20-30 miles SE of Gaylord off of I-75. I just love travel and following routes with good maps. I was always the navigator on family trips while growing up.

    Last night was very stormy in Michigan with many cleaning up the damage this morning.  Fortunately, all we got was heavy rain and a lot of thunder.  The central regions of the state seem to have the most d […]

    Being outdoors today is very uncomfortable.  If not for the breeze, it would be unbearable, at least for me.  We have had mostly cloudy skies so far but no rain.  We did receive 0.19 in yesterday morning in th […]

    I woke to see a large rain cell on radar approaching my area and my first thought was to get the dogs out before it started raining.  I’m glad that I did because it has been raining ever since; and it looks like […]
