SmokeEater Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Were they well built homes, or manufactured homes? I haven't seen anything leveled in the live videos from Dexter so far, except for one singular house, and the house next to it is completely standing except for damage to the side facing the destroyed house. There's decently bad damage, but nothing above EF3ish IMO. But I'm not gonna speculate this early. They are all newer houses, which means lightweight truss construction.

SpartyOn Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Remarkable day. I have not heard of any injuries or fatalities so that is a good thing. But just remarkable for the time of the year and the overall set-up. This Spring has gotten off to wild start in MI. Two Michigan Tornado outbreaks in 1 week.

VALID 160002Z - 160100Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 76 CONTINUES. THREAT OF LARGE HAIL AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE WW AREA. WHILE THE TORNADO THREAT WILL DECREASE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...LARGE HAIL MAY REMAIN POSSIBLE AFTER DARK. THE WW MAY BE LOCALLY EXTENDED FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. SEASONABLY WARM/MOIST SURFACE CONDITIONS IN COMBINATION WITH STEEP LOW-MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES CONTINUE TO SUPPORT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE VICINITY OF A CONFLUENT ZONE...NOW EXTENDING FROM NEAR FORT WAYNE IND TO EAST OF SAGINAW MI. SUBTLE LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION MAY MAINTAIN ENOUGH SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO TO OCCUR OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. HOWEVER...AS DIURNAL COOLING CONTINUES TO STABILIZE THE BOUNDARY LAYER...SURFACE-BASED STORMS...AND THEREFORE THE THREAT OF TORNADOES WILL BECOME LESS PROBABLE WITH TIME. THE MAIN UPPER WAVE THAT LED TO THE ONGOING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IS NOW LOCATED PER 00Z WV IMAGERY OVER ERN MI AND SRN ONTARIO. WITH ITS EWD PROGRESSION...TEMPORARY SUBSIDENCE IN ITS WAKE MAY GRADUALLY DECREASE THE COVERAGE OF STORMS ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...A RESERVOIR OF INSTABILITY AND STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES REMAINS ACROSS MUCH OF MI...WITH A FRONT STILL SITUATED ACROSS THE CNTRL PART OF THE STATE. WV IMAGERY SUGGESTS AN AREA OF IMPLIED ASCENT NOW APPROACHING FROM THE WRN GREAT LAKES/WI...WHICH MAY STILL SUPPORT A THREAT OF ELEVATED STORMS CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL AFTER DARK. ..HURLBUT.. 03/16/2012 ATTN...WFO...DTX...IWX...GRR...

hm8 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Radar estimates 3-6" of rain across Ann Arbor Remarkable day. I have not heard of any injuries or fatalities so that is a good thing. But just remarkable for the time of the year and the overall set-up. This Spring has gotten off to wild start in MI. Two Michigan Tornado outbreaks in 1 week.

upsloper Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Don't see much chance of rotation translating down much lower than it is now but meso is maintaining so far. Chance for this to be severe warned when it gets close enough to mainland or Sandusky area islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
