tornadotony Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Amazing event. To have a SE moving EF3 tornado in Michigan is more like August-typical than March. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the wind environment was typical of July/August. Really just an unusual event in an unprecedented warm blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Eaton County back in 2007, the same day that Fenton was hit with an EF-2. I believe it was the same storm actually. Here is a good read about the event and the last significant tornadoes in the state http://blogs.woodtv....near-ann-arbor/ That one in 2007 cruised right over my head ( moving ne i do believe? ) with alot of rotation which caused them to issue a tornado warning here. It did not touch down though till it got to near the county line with Eaton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 First SVR of the year for us. This one for up to the size of quarters. Thunder audible as this moves at us at 15 mph. The contrasts in the sky looking west are gorgeous with the rising sun. Perfect timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The images of 2x4s that pierced roofs in Dexter is nuts. Also on a good note that community has pulled together like no other. Huge donations and masses of people on a daily basis have came to help with the cleanup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
