outflow

There is a set of trails that run in eastern sanilac county/se Huron county over here in the thumb, I don't ride so no idea what they are like but I see the maps every once/while hanging in a couple local sporting goods shops

I'm surprised you have any healthy ash trees left down there. The emerald ash borer wiped out almost all of them in Michigan in the past 10 years.

Did you notice the second tornado/waterspout that occurred to the nw of the main tornado? Around the time the above tornado was roping out, I looked to the north from m25 and could see a second funnel and thin condesation funnel about 3 miles nnw. The funnel went behind the treeline so I couldn't get a good look to see if/where it was on the ground at. I found a video online that appears to show the second tornado/spout I seen. https://m.facebook.com/groups/147834125298027/permalink/4161742787240454/?anchor_composer=false

https://www.facebook.com/564090982/videos/260458999220451/ link to video from todays port austin tornado. not the greatest thing in the world recording with my phone but for a michigan tornado not hidden in rain/grunge ill take it.

Btw this touched down less then a mile from where last months ef2 hit. As it roped out

It was on the ground for about 5 miles missed pretty much any structures minus one barn it destroyed. I have more pictures and video just need to figure out how to post the video since I hate technology

Port Austin mi tornado ef2 with 120 mph winds

6 non life threatening injuries. Damage pictures look like high end ef1 type damage. https://m.facebook.com/story/graphql_permalink/?graphql_id=UzpfSTgzMDQwMjkyNTU4OjEwMTU5MTU5MDM4MzQ3NTU5 We got Very lucky up here. There wasn't a warning for this and based on a similar storm I was following about 8 miles west right before this touched down there was little or no lightning. There was a festival going on in downtown port Austin proper called porchfest where a bunch of bands play music on the larger open porch/front yards of homes in town and people walk place to place. Another 3/4 of a mile north would have taken it through the center of town with lots of people in the open and no real idea of how bad it would get. It could have been a pretty bad situation. Btw anyone have the radar loop from around 5-6pm for around the upper thumb of mi? I have radarscope but don't have the yearly subscription for archived products. The storm I was on moved onshore south of caseville with a ground scraping lowering and a decent radar dig but moved offshore without producing. Im curious what the storm by port Austin looked like since I didn't see anything of note before looking away from my phone to drive home.

Port Austin mi 15 miles north of me got bit by an unwarned tornado earlier. Reports of some possible injuries. I'll have to go tomorrow to see if I can get any pictures

-1.15

You would think with that type of swing something interesting would have had to have occurred in that two week span but zzzzzzz

Central Nebraska, north Platte?, At 285 days is unbelievable, they are only 5 days ahead of Marquette.

A local hospital in Sandusky mi who doesn't have an icu had to transfer covid patients to Toledo Ohio for care as the nearest place able to take them. Sandusky is about 90 miles north of Detroit so and about 60-70 miles from Saginaw/Flint so from them to have to go to Toledo to find open bed shows how bad the situation is up here right now https://www.wnem.com/news/increase-in-covid-19-cases-making-it-hard-for-thumb-region-hospitals-to-provide-adequate/article_400aa316-9e2a-11eb-a5d1-83e481510428.html?fbclid=IwAR1uj9tKxyecXoU7pcxVF7B5t3Cr_MwbyBc48WBNnuleT8Ly1Yl59S_Kvfo

Him and his wife had to go to the local credit union last Thursday to do some paperwork for there house. They both got sick Monday. Today it was announced the credit union is closed til monday. No reason was given but I've got a good idea why.....

My supervisor is out with a covid like illness waiting on his test result. If positive it will be the second time in 5 months he had gotten covid as he tested positive and was sick in early December.

Ended up with about 18 hs of symptoms including a bad headache and nausea. I guess if I get a blood clot my opinion will change but right now I'm glad I got the shot.

Got my j and j vaccine this morning. About a hr ago I started to feel the standard achey and fatigue that seems to be associated with it. The nurse who did mine said they have dozen of open spots for the next two days with little interest it would seem for more to get the shot.

Another new strain has landed in the u.s https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/double-mutant-covid-19-variant-found-in-the-bay-area/2509887/%3famp

So last night I registered to get my vaccine. I figured it would be a few weeks or more til i got an appointment date. To my surprise today I was told I can get it done next Thursday and that there were dozens of openings left to fill. Being in the dead center if the thumb of mi I figured people might be in a rush to get it but I guess not.

My county has been averaging about 20 neaw cases a day for the past week after being in the single digits for weeks prior. A lot of the local schools are having more cases lately, one has a supposed couple dozen positive cases. People locally are blaming the winter sports and the traveling school to school in spreading it. There was also confirmed uk strain in the neighboring county in a child so people are also wondering if that could be the causes of the seemingly easier spread lately. Our local Wal Mart tire and lube is closed also after one worker tested positive and after reviewing security can footage management determined no one in the department was following mask protocol and thus now everyone is quarantined...

Michigan restaurant and loggging association is suing the state over the new ban on indoor dining https://www.record-eagle.com/state/restaurants-sue-to-try-to-stop-new-whitmer-ban-on-dining/article_456b9290-2224-536d-867b-d370ece67fe2.html

Im more impressed with Wichita only issuing 2 the entire year to date

Will this be as accurate as your previous prediction?

Alot of people,myself included, were really surprise to hear that the party bus provider was even allowed to operate with the restrictions still in place at ths time. There was also a church locally with a case, a chiropractor who tested positive, and a factory with 3 cases in the past 2 weeks. I think this county has seen like 20 new cases in about a week and a half which is the most since the start of the outbreak. Not many in the overall scheme of things but being a rural area the sudden jump does cause concern especially with the,until very recently, relative lack of precautions people took when out and about.
