Date: April 25th, 2009
Location: Southern Michigan
Storm type: Severe thunderstorm/tornadoes
Details: I was watching TV, and then our power suddenly went out. It was hailing. The winds in the storm were at least 60 miles per hour. My mom looked at the laptop. Our alert: Severe thunderstorm warning, 1:55.
It was 1:55 when we checked the alert.
In Lexington, there was a tornado, and there was almost one in Dearborn, which means there was a funnel cloud that didn't touch the ground. The tornado in Lexington uprooted a tree and blew a sign in half.
At my house, we saw the next day that one small tree was almost completely uprooted, and a few shingles were blown off our roof.
This was pretty much the worst storm that Michigan has ever had in April: Uprooted trees, tornadoes, 60 mph+ winds, hail, cloud to ground lightening, and rumbles of thunder the whole storm through.
