Stebo Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 First survey from GRR done ...NWS DAMAGE SURVEY FOR 08/20/2016 EF-1 TORNADO IN IONIA/MONTCALM COUNTIES... .OVERVIEW... Tornado damage began just east of the small town of Orleans and moved northeast where it crossed M-44, bringing several large trees down, one of which fell on a house. The tornado then crossed West Long Lake Road where the concrete block wall of a garage was blown out and the wind peeled shingles off the roof of a house. A path of tree damage about a hundred yards wide continued to the northeast and narrowed as it crossed the Montcalm County line. The last damage noted was a few downed trees on East Boyer Road about 3.5 miles southeast of Sheridan. Rating: EF-1 Estimated peak wind: 90 mph Path length /Statute/: 8 miles Path width /Maximum/: 100 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start date: August 20 2016 Start time: 310 pm EDT Start location: 0.4 miles east of Orleans Michigan Start Lat/Lon: 43.068N -85.128W End date: August 20 2016 End time: 325 pm EDT End location: 3.5 miles southeast of Sheridan Michigan End_lat/lon: 43.1632N -85.045W This would have been the last tornado warning for their area east of Grand Rapids.

IWXwx Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Anyone one is SW Lower today might want to have their camera handy: While not the most favorable setup,Non Supercell Tornado parameters do approach or exceed 1 over southern Lake Michigan and a few counties inland in the 21z-00z window, suggesting at least some threat for funnel clouds with any showers/isol storms. Something that will need to be watched, with probably somewhat better potential for waterspouts than anything inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Not that it's a big deal, and I think Hoosier mentioned it earlier, but I feel SPC kind of dropped the ball yesterday in not having a tornado risk included in their forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
