Hurricane and Tornado warning issued as Lowell approaches western Hawaii

Hurricane Lowell accelerated toward Kauai on Monday evening, weakening slightly to a Category 2 storm while still expected to make its closest approach Monday night into Tuesday bringing hurricane conditions, flooding rainfall and destructive surf to Hawaii’s westernmost islands. At 5 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time Monday, or 8 p.m. Pacific time, Lowell was about 170 miles southwest of Lihue, Kauai’s largest city, with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph.

The storm was moving north-northeast at 18 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. The National Weather Service issued Hawaii’s first-ever tornado watch Monday afternoon until 4 a.m. Tuesday as Hurricane Lowell approached the islands of Kauai and Niihau. A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable to result in tornadoes, as opposed to a tornado warning, which means a tornado has been identified. Hawaii has experienced tornado warnings before, but never a tornado watch.

“Over the past 24 hours we have watched this system veer closer to us, too close for comfort,” said Kauai Mayor Derek Kawakami in a statement. “I hope you have spent these last few days preparing for the worst. If you are still making last-minute preparations, finish them this morning. Be off our roadways and indoors by midday.” National Weather Service forecasters said the hurricane could lead to heavy rain, flooding and mudslides Monday afternoon through evening. Waves, at 7 to 10 feet Monday morning, were expected to build to 20 to 30 feet by this afternoon and pose a threat to coastal properties, piers and docks.

Another 4 to 8 inches of rain, with isolated totals of 12 inches, could fall on Kauai through Wednesday morning. Kawakami advised residents living in coastal areas to make arrangements to stay with family or friends in other locations. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green ordered all Kauai schools, as well as state and county offices on the island, to close Tuesday.   The core of the storm was expected to pass near or just west of Kauai and Niihau Monday night and into early Tuesday.

The National Hurricane Center said Lowell’s turn toward the north had occurred later than expected, helping shift the projected track closer to Kauai and Niihau. Niihau, Hawaii’s westernmost inhabited island, is a 72-square-mile private island home to a small settlement of around 100 people who speak Hawaiian as their primary language and live without telephone service or indoor plumbing. The National Weather Service placed the south-facing shores of Kauai and Niihau under a high-surf warning until 6 p.m. Tuesday Hawaii Standard Time, or 9 p.m. Pacific time.

Coastal evacuations and road closures are possible.  On Sunday night, long lines of passengers formed at the Lihue Airport on Kauai’s southeast coast, as travelers sought to leave the island ahead of the hurricane. Scattered power outages were reported across Kauai Monday morning, mostly in the eastern town of Wailua, according to the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative, which operates the island’s electric grid. The outages were impacting 144 customers as of 11:15 a.m. PT. Residents were advised to stay out of the ocean and away from shorelines.

The National Hurricane Center expected offshore wave heights to peak between 30 and 50 feet as the storm passes by Hawaii. On Saturday, organizers of the Kauai Marathon canceled the race in light of the hurricane conditions.  Kauai is home to some 73,000 residents. The island has not seen a major hurricane since September 1992, when Hurricane Iniki, a Category 4 storm, brought 145-mph winds and 20-foot waves, wrecking homes and causing some $1.8 billion in damage. Oahu was also placed under a tropical storm warning on Monday. Rainfall of 4 to 8 inches could lead to flash flooding and mudslides there, too.

EF-0 tornado in Lincoln Park is Michigan’s 29th tornado of 2026 – CBS Detroit

Posted on by Leave a comment

The National Weather Service has confirmed that an EF-0 tornado touched down in Lincoln Park, Michigan, late Thursday afternoon, as part of a blast of severe weather that prompted tornado warnings across Southeast Michigan. The tornado touched down at 4:12 p.m. and was on the ground for just one minute, reaching a top wind speed of 70 miles per hour.

The weak tornado touched down along Fort Street near Memorial Park, according to the NWS, and tracked into the park and lifted near the city’s senior center.  The tornado was 0.16 miles in length and 50 yards wide.  The Lincoln Park tornado is one of the three tornadoes that touched down in Southeast Michigan in a roughly 24-hour period.  Also on Thursday, an EF-2 tornado struck Detroit’s east side, causing extensive damage to commercial properties and homes. The EF-2 tornado, which reached a top wind speed of 115 mph, is the first to touch down in Detroit since July 2, 1997. A man was injured while protecting his infant daughter when a tree fell on his family’s home in Detroit. 

Active 2026 tornado season in Michigan The EF-0 tornado that struck Lincoln Park is Michigan’s 29th of the year.  On Wednesday night, an EF-0 tornado touched down just northeast of Marysville in St. Clair County. That tornado lasted roughly two minutes, and no injuries were reported. Tree damage was sporadic and found along a narrow path between Gratiot Avenue and Highway 29.  Michigan saw one of its most active tornado seasons on record in 2025, with 33 tornadoes confirmed in the state.  

Tornadoes are rated via an estimated wind gust speed in the Enhanced Fujita Tornado Scale. An EF-0 tornado is estimated at up to 85 mph, an EF-1 tornado is estimated at between 86 mph and 110 mph, and an EF-2 is estimated at between 111 and 135 mph.

Man blown from 12th-floor apartment as deadly tornado rips through central China.

Posted on by Leave a comment
tornado in countryside

A deadly tornado, so powerful that it sucked a man out of his 12th-floor apartment, swept through China’s central Hubei province leaving behind a trail of destruction, according to state media reports. At least 11 people were killed and more than 331 injured when the tornado that brought winds of up to 260 kilometers (160 miles) per hour struck late Monday evening, leaving houses ripped apart, overturning cars and damaging farmland, according to the Xinhua news agency. More than 4855 houses were damaged in Hubei, a major industrial hub known for its automotive manufacturing, Xinhua said. One of the worst-affected places was Huanggang city, where the wind was so strong that it sucked a 30-year-old man and some of his belongings, including his sofa and cabinets, from his 12th-floor apartment, local media reported.

The man is now in intensive care in hospital, the reports said. Elsewhere in the city, several heavy trucks were lifted and moved as far 30 meters by the winds. Dramatic video showed a large tornado tearing through nearby Ezhou city, where five people were killed. Local authorities acknowledged the “immense losses from the disaster” and said more than 3000 people were involved in rescue efforts. Tornadoes are rare in Hubei province, which experienced its last one in May 2021. The severe weather in Hubei is a result of Typhoon Maysak overlapping with the early-summer rainy season, experts say, and comes as China’s southwest Guangxi region experiences severe flooding and after a deadly landslide in Gansu province in the northwest. Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Tuesday called for an all-out rescue and relief effort, and the resettlement of those affected. Since Sunday, Typhoon Maysak has brought floodwaters to Guangxi region, where four people have been killed and eight remain missing.

More than 600 people were still waiting for evacuation, a local official told media on Tuesday afternoon. The typhoon has brought enough rain to the region to break 24-hour precipitation records including the city of Hengzhou. And in one Hengzhou village, the floodwaters pose an additional theat. More than 800 snakes escaped when a snake farm flooded on Monday, an official told local news outlet Hongxing. Social media video showed snakes poking their heads above the muddy water inundating the village. One villager had been bitten and is being treated in hospital, while a dozen locals had formed a team to catch the snakes, the Hongxing report said. While many of the snakes were said to be non‑venomous water snake and rat snakes, some were cobras, which are considered highly venomous, reported the Xiaoxiang Daily.

Illinois leading U.S. in tornadoes with 140 so far in 2026

Posted on by Leave a comment
dramatic sky over rural wheat field

Thursday night’s tornado outbreak in the Chicago area continues a concerning trend of increasing tornado frequency in the Upper Midwest. With 140 tornadoes so far this year, Illinois leads the nation in tornado count for the third of the last four years. In a distant second place is Mississippi with 82 tornadoes this year, and Missouri comes in third with 62.  It’s the fourth year in a row that Illinois has surpassed 100 tornadoes. Illinois averages only 54 tornadoes per year, according to the Illinois State Climatologist’s Office.

As CBS News Chicago reported in February, we may be witnessing what climate researchers have long expected in a warming climate. As human activities add greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, a warmer climate is making the traditional Tornado Alley in the Plains hotter and more arid. This change shifts the more favorable tornado ingredients eastward into the Midwest and Deep South, and leads to more tornadoes in Illinois. Thursday’s tornado outbreak comes during the typical peak of tornado activity in Illinois. Tornado frequency typically peaks between April and June in the Chicago area. It follows a very unusual early-season tornado outbreak on March 10 that brought a deadly EF-3 tornado to Kankakee and Newton counties.

National Weather Service confirms multiple tornadoes with Streator, Merrillville among hardest hit areas

Posted on by Leave a comment
uprooted tree cut in pieces

Residents across Illinois and Indiana are cleaning up from severe damage after destructive tornadoes and severe storms hit on Thursday night.  As of Friday evening, the National Weather Service has confirmed at least seven tornado touchdowns on June 11, including an EF-3 tornado in Kouts, Indiana, an EF-3 tornado in Streator, Illinois, an EF-2 tornado in Merrillville, Indiana, an EF-1 tornado in Bartlett , Illinois, an EF-1 tornado near Dwight, Illinois, an Ef-1 tornado in Wenona, Illinois, and an EF-0 tornado in St. John, Indiana. Storm survey crews will be deployed across the area to assess the extent of damage, which officials said could take several days. 

Thousands without power across Illinois, Indiana   ComEd officials provided an update on Friday morning on the storm restoration efforts following the back-to-back storms.  ComEd said the 80 miles per hour winds had the biggest impact on their service area. Officials said nearly 3,000 employees have been working to restore power.  “Our crews are working as fast as possible to get you back online,” ComEd officials said.  ComEd’s chief operating officer said Wednesday’s storm affected around 550,000 customers. It is estmated 80% of those outages have been restored and the rest should be complete by Saturday at 11 p.m. The second round of storms on Thursday night impacted some of the same customers. Around 150,000 customers were impacted, and 70,000 have had their power restored. 

ComEd expects to restore power to the majority of its customers by Sunday.  Customers can check for alerts on the ComEd website.   As of 11 a.m. on Friday, nearly 62,000 NIPSCO customers in Indiana were without power. NIPSCO.  Gary, Dyer, and Chesterton are among the areas in Indiana most impacted by the outages. NIPSCO had to shut off power to most of the city on Thursday night.  NIPSCO customers can report outages here.  Cleanup continues after destructive tornadoes  Cleanup for the extensive damage stretching from the western suburbs to northwest Indiana is underway for the areas hit hardest.    In Streator, Illinois, about 80 miles southwest of Chicago, multiple houses were completely destroyed after a tornado touched down. Trees were shredded and came crashing down on cars and roofs.  There’s a lot of hard work ahead for cleanup and repairs, but after two days of storms, and a slew of tornadoes, Friday provided calm sunny weather as cleanup efforts began in Streator.

Several homes were destroyed, multiple cars were heavily damaged, and debris was scattered across the city after the storms ripped through. Many damaged homes will have to be torn down and rebuilt. At one home in Streator, police officers, neighbors, and a video journalist following the storms helped rescue a man pinned under debris after the house collapsed. The man suffered a broken leg and will require surgery, but otherwise will be okay. Thankfully, no deaths have been reported from Thursday’s storms in Illinois. Extensive damage also was reported in Bridgeview, Illinois, where trees were uprooted, and telephone poles snapped.  The fire chief said two apartment buildings were evacuated, and residents are taking refuge at the Bridgeview Village Hall.  The National Weather Service will be conducting a survey in Bridgeview on Friday. 

Overnight, officials in Merrillville, Indiana, warned residents of road closures in the downtown area due to downed trees and power lines. Officials said a command center was established near 61st and Cleveland streets.  “Please stay clear of any fallen utility lines or damaged utility poles as these pose a serious safety risk,” officials said.  A resident told CBS News Chicago he lost his gazebo and backyard area. “As you can see, it’s all collapsed.”  The Andrean High School campus in Merrillville will remain closed on Friday due to significant damage.  “There are active power lines, downed trees, broken glass, significant roof damage, etc., that make it unsafe,” school officials said in a Facebook post. “While we assess the damage, mitigate safety risk, and determine next steps, we ask that you please stay away from campus until we provide an update.”  Gerado Regalado, his wife, and two daughters were home at the time the storm hit in Merrillville. The storm ripped off their roof, and left barely any walls standing as they took cover. Everything inside the house was damaged, but he’s counting his blessings that his family is safe.

“We can make it again or get another one, but my daughter’s life is more important than mine, you know? It’s hard,” Regalado said. Zachary Van Drunen’s church members helped pick up tree limbs and debris out of his yard in Merrillville. Van Drunen said the wind was a lot stronger than normal. “As soon as we walked through the door, the biggest tree in my yard fell exactly where I was standing. Two seconds later, and we’d be having a completely different conversation right now,” he said. He lives right next door to Harold Curtis. He, his wife, and daughter were also home when the storm came through. They were headed to the basement when Curtis said he felt a strong gust of wind. “As I shut the door behind me to go downstairs, it’s like you felt the wind blow right in, and like in 15 seconds it was over,” Curtis said.

In nearby Hebron, Indiana, residents woke up to a destroyed town on Friday morning. Hebron resident Beth Bowen told CBS News Chicago that when she got out of her house safely, she found her garage had collapsed.  She said it sounded like “train.”  “We felt the pressure, our ears were popping, we thought the doors were going to blow over in our laundry room, it was shaking so bad,” Bowen said. “We felt the house move.”  Professional storm chaser Gabe Cox followed Thursday’s tornadoes for hours as the storms hit multiple communities, including Hebron. He said he counted at least eight separate tornadoes on his own in Illinois and Indiana, and there were more that he couldn’t get to. “This was the most significant tornado outbreak I have ever covered personally,” he said. “To see eight significant tornadoes back to back over the course of four hours, I’ve never experienced that before in my 10 years as a professional, 20 years of storm chasing.” Cox said he’s still processing what he saw and experienced during the storms.

“Honestly, you know, with storm chasing, it’s a range of emotions. There’s the excitement of it, of course. You’re seeing something just phenomenal that most people don’t get to see. Then there’s the reality of what it does, and ending the chase in Hebron last night brought that reality full scale, and so my heart sank. I feel bad for those people. I’m so thankful that they are okay, and not a scratch on them. Obviously, there’s a lot of cleanup to be done, and these people are going to need a lot of help.” In Bartlett, Illinois, a BP gas station had 18 pumps ripped out of the ground from the force of the tornado that hit on Thursday, and debris from the gas station was blown into the parking lot of a nearby Wendy’s. Surveillance video captured the moment the gas pumps toppled to the ground. Garbage cans and debris also could be seen swirling around a parked car. Sources said the driver inside wanted to beat the storm, but stayed put when rain started falling.

Debris from the gas station could be found as far away as a strip mall across the street. The gas station owner said he hopes to have the pumps replaced and the gas station back in operation within the next two weeks. Employees at the nearby Wendy’s were cleaning up for the night when the storm blew through. “I was in the bathroom, and out of nowhere, you just hear a gust of wind, and then it grows stronger and stronger and stronger, and then out of nowhere, you just hear booms, and everything breaks. The store vibrating, and then you get out, you really see the tornado from the window coming this way, and you could hear the branch fall,” Jaden Cordero said. “We were in the tornado.” Thankfully, no one was injured.

EF-3 tornado ripped through North Texas town, causing damage and injuries, officials say

Posted on by Leave a comment
destroyed village cottages and uprooted trees after tornado

A powerful storm ripped through the North Texas city of Mineral Wells Tuesday evening and caused serious damage, authorities said. Mineral Wells is located about 45 miles west of Fort Worth. The storm appeared to have blown through an industrial park, shredding buildings, ripping apart roofs and scattering debris across the area. Metal was wrapped around poles and an HVAC plant was heavily damaged, but employees had been sent home ahead of the storm.

Mayor Regan Johnson confirmed two major manufacturers were impacted, though there wasn’t an estimate yet as to how many employees would face job displacement. Debris, downed trees, and leaning power lines littered the area. First responders continued to assess the damage overnight.      City officials said Tuesday night that several people were injured and two were brought to Palo Pinto General Hospital, but no critical injuries or deaths were reported. Officials affirmed this in an update shared Wednesday morning in a press conference, noting that three more people who were hurt were also brought to a hospital via private vehicle.  Mineral Wells Fire Chief Ryan Dunn also said on Wednesday that several other people who were hurt refused transport to the hospital. Dunn said one of the patients taken to the hospital via ambulance faced a traumatic injury; the other faced a medical issue.

The National Weather Service gave the tornado that hit Mineral Wells a rating of EF-3 with peak estimated winds of 145 mph. Officials said other parts of the community, including nearby neighborhoods, were also impacted. Police Chief Tim Dennison said Oncor estimated about 2,200 customers were without power as of Wednesday morning, with that number including both residential and business customers. City officials said curfew has been put in place for the Fort Wolters area via a Declaration of Emergency Powers.

Those areas include the following locations: Energy Avenue (Country Club Estates) to the west US Highway 180 to the south Washington Avenue to the east Armstead Drive to the north The curfew was in effect from 10 p.m. Tuesday night through 6 a.m. Wednesday, and will now occur nightly from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m. until further notice.

Powerful storms, hail up to softball size and multiple tornadoes tore through North Texas on Tuesday, causing serious damage, injuries and widespread power outages. As of Wednesday, nine tornadoes occurred in North Texas between Saturday and Tuesday night.  Tuesday, there was an EF-3 tornado in Mineral Wells with winds up to 145 mph, three tornadoes in Johnson County, an EF-U tornado in Montague County, 70 hail reports, with hail as big as just below the size of a softball, and seven damaging wind reports.  There were also tornado warnings south of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, where the NWS will analyze damage as well.

In Mineral Wells, several people were injured. The Mineral Wells storm blew through an industrial park, shredding buildings, ripping apart roofs and scattering debris across the area. Metal was wrapped around poles and an HVAC plant was heavily damaged, but employees had been sent home ahead of the storm. Debris, downed trees, and leaning power lines littered the area. Officials said other parts of the community, including nearby neighborhoods, were also impacted. This comes just days after at least two people died after devastating weekend storms. Saturday storms generated more than 100 reports, ranging from baseball‑size hail to 90‑plus‑mph wind gusts and multiple high‑water rescues across the metroplex.

Preliminary data from the National Weather Service shows an EF‑1 that struck Springtown in Parker County with winds of 105 mph and the night’s strongest tornado – an EF‑2 – that hit Runaway Bay in Wise County with winds estimated at 135 mph. Jack County also withstood EF-0 and EF-1 tornadoes.

Baseball-sized hail, damaging winds possible across North Texas amid severe weather threat Tuesday

Posted on by Leave a comment
Tornado with debris and hail hitting a residential neighborhood with damaged houses and vehicles

The two main threats are wind and very large hail, with the possibility of an isolated tornado. Tuesday starts cloudy, warm and breezy, with temperatures in the 70s. Areas of fog are possible for the morning commute.

But it will once again be a busy afternoon with severe storms as a dry line and a cold front increase the potential for severe weather, prompting a First Alert Weather Day.

The timing of Tuesday’s storms will be between 3 p.m. and 10 p.m., with 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. being the most likely timeframe for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

A powerful tornado in Oklahoma on Thursday ripped roofs off buildings, destroyed homes, knocked down power poles and forced an Air Force base to close. The confirmed tornado moved across parts of Enid, a city of about 50,000 people in Garfield County near the state’s northern border, according to the National Weather Service. Videos posted online show a rapidly rotating column of air touching down, along with totaled homes.

There were no immediate reports of fatalities and only minor injuries hours after the tornado passed through, according to the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities were going door-to-door in some neighborhoods to check on residents. Overnight, the office said on social media that its phone lines were down because of tornado damage and told residents to call 911 if they had an emergency.

Illinois surpasses 100 tornadoes for fourth year in a row

Posted on by Leave a comment
dramatic lightning over palmas brazil

Severe weather season has been off to a very active start in Illinois, with everything from flooding, hail, and damaging winds – and more than 100 tornadoes statewide. As of April 22, the preliminary count for tornadoes across the state of Illinois stands at 101 and counting, easily leading the entire country by far. That’s nearly double the annual average of 54 tornadoes in Illinois. With our severe weather season just getting started and lasting through September, that number has the chance to go up.

The typical count for tornadoes per year across Illinois is 54, so we already nearly doubled that. As of April 19, there have been at least 20 tornadoes in the National Weather Service Chicago forecast area, which includes parts of northwest Indiana. The typical number for that forecast area is between 10 to 20 tornadoes per year.

  • March 10th An EF-0 tornado north of Pontiac, IL.
  • An EF-U tornado near Cayuga, IL (midway between Pontiac and Odell).
  • An EF-U tornado in Kankakee Township. This brief tornado occurred prior to the start of the Kankakee-Roselawn
  • EF-3 tornado. An EF-U tornado in Otto Township. This brief tornado lifted just before the start of the Kankakee-Roselawn EF-3 tornado. 
  • An EF-3 tornado that tracked through southern Kankakee and Aroma Park in Illinois and Lake Village and Roselawn in Indiana before ending west of DeMotte, IN.
  • An EF-1 satellite tornado just southwest of Sun River Terrace. This was a southward-moving satellite tornado associated with the Kankakee-Roselawn EF-3 tornado. 
  • An EF-U tornado immediately south of Sun River Terrace. This was a brief satellite tornado associated with the Kankakee-Roselawn EF-3 tornado.

A hundred homes damaged, 1 injured in Friday’s 26 tornado outbreak

Posted on by Leave a comment
Large tornado funnel cloud touching the ground in a flat field under dark stormy skies

Officials say more than 100 homes were damaged and one person was injured in a “significant tornado outbreak” across Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa on Friday. The National Weather Service in La Crosse, Wisconsin, said it issued 26 tornado warnings during the outbreak, the most for a single day since the office opened in 1995. “The most tornadoes occurred locally north of Interstate 90 in southeast Minnesota and west-central Wisconsin,” the NWS said.

The National Weather Service has confirmed a ninth tornado out of the severe weather outbreak that hit Michigan late Tuesday night into early Wednesday.  The newest tornado added to the list happened early Wednesday in Branch County, near Coldwater, according to CBS News Detroit chief meteorologist Ahmad Bajjey. The National Weather Service bureau in Northern Indiana, whose coverage area includes part of Southwest Michigan, made that report Thursday.  The intensity of the Branch County tornado is still under review. 

The list from the NWS bureaus whose territories include Michigan counties is now as follows: 

  • EF-0 in Southeast Allegan County.  
  • EF-1 in Southeast Allegan County.  
  • EF-1 in Montcalm County that ended in Gratiot County.  
  • EF-1 in Saginaw County. 
  • EF-0 in Saginaw County. 
  • EF-0 in Shiawassee County. 
  • TBD in Branch County. 
  • EF-1 in Washtenaw County. 
  • EF-1 in Wayne County. 

The one in Branch County occurred about an hour before the storms reached Metro Detroit, Bajjey said.  This now brings the total number of tornadoes during 2026 in Michigan to 14. There were three tornadoes in Southwest Michigan on March 6 and another in Wayne County on April 4.

Recovery efforts are underway on Saturday after a tornado touchdown has been reported in Lena, Illinois, about 48 miles west of Rockford. The tornado was part of a massive storm system that is barreling toward Chicago Friday afternoon. A tornado warning was issued for Lena at 4:45 p.m. CT, the National Weather Service said. Video from a livestream in Lena shows the massive, rotating storm descending on the town. There is extensive damage in the storm’s wake, according to public officials. The Stephenson County Sheriff’s Office posted on social media, asking people to avoid going to Lena at all. 

“There is no way to get into town due to trees and wires down,” the post said. “Emergency Services are assisting people per Sheriff Stovall.” The sheriff’s office said no deaths or serious injuries have been reported from the tornado. “We are extremely fortunate that this storm did not result in loss of life or serious injury,” Sheriff Steve Stovall said in a statement. “Our focus remains on ensuring the safety of our residents, securing the affected areas, and supporting the Village of Lena as recovery efforts move forward.”

More than 51 million people are under the threat of severe weather Friday evening from Texas to Wisconsin, and most of the storms will occur in the afternoon and evening hours. The forecast comes as communities are still cleaning up from tornadoes that struck earlier in the week.  Severe thunderstorms are forecast from Texas to the Northeast overnight, and for the central US. and Midwest on Friday, says the National Weather Service. Maps show severe weather, tornado forecast for Friday The Upper Mississippi Valley — spanning parts of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin — will have “the best chance for strong tornadoes,” while parts of the central U.S. and Midwest will have “the best chance for very large hail,” the weather service said Friday.  This map shows the potential for severe weather Friday spanning from the U.S.-Mexico border up to Canada, touching states from Texas to Michigan:

dramatic thunderstorm with lightning strike

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Wednesday declared a state of emergency for 32 counties after overnight Tuesday storms caused significant damage and resulted in tornadoes. The counties under the state of emergency are Alcona, Allegan, Alpena, Antrim, Arenac, Barry, Benzie, Charlevoix, Clare, Crawford, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Gratiot, Iosco, Kalkaska, Lake, Leelanau, Manistee, Menominee, Missaukee, Montcalm, Montmorency, Newaygo, Oceana, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Osceola, Presque Isle, Roscommon, Saginaw, Shiawassee and Wexford. 

“Significant snowmelt, record rain, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes have damaged homes, roads, and businesses. This emergency declaration will help the state deploy additional resources to help local officials and first responders protect Michiganders and their property,” Whitmer said in a statement. “The state will continue to coordinate with local governments and monitor the situation. I encourage everyone to stay updated and follow guidance from your local emergency manager. We will get through this together.”    This is the second state of emergency that Whitmer has declared in the last week. On April 10, the governor declared a state of emergency in Cheboygan County due to rising water levels at the Cheboygan Lock and Dam Complex. Additionally, Whitmer expanded the State Emergency Operations Center for statewide weather-related matters. On Wednesday, the National Weather Service confirmed that at least five tornadoes touched down in Michigan. The EF-0 and EF-1 tornadoes were located in Allegan, Montcalm and Saginaw counties, which are under the latest state of emergency.

Storm chaser captures video of tornado in southern Minnesota

Posted on by Leave a comment

Most people run to their basement during severe weather, but Melanie Metz instead runs toward the storm. The National Weather Service confirms three tornadoes hit southern Minnesota Monday night in Amboy, Matawan and Elmore. That’s on top of dozens of hail reports and even some gusts of wind nearing 60 MPH in southern parts of the state.  The weather allowed Champlin based meteorologist and storm chaser Metz to capture some seriously captivating footage. Metz has been chasing storms for 25 years. “I can’t believe it, honestly. I mean, that’s a long time when I started chasing it was before we even had smartphones, so I couldn’t see radar when I was on the road.

It’s been a long time,” she said. Monday night, her vantage point was from Truman, Minnesota — near Fairmont. She met up with a fellow meteorologist and friend to stake out the storm. She captured some incredible videos, including one which depicted an intact, super cell tornado. Metz believes it the tornado NWS pegged in Amboy.  “We ended up chasing this storm for quite a while until it finally started to organize and became a supercell and produced a couple of tornadoes right in front of us,” she said. Metz says the chase is thrilling, fascinating and combines her love of storms and photography. But—it’s not something to try without experience.

Tornado sirens, cell phone alerts, high winds and pounding rain woke up Michigan residents as severe weather pushed through the state overnight Tuesday.  The storms were part of a massive system that has already resulted in suspected tornadoes along with flooding in the Midwest and Great Lakes region, and will continue for at least another day.  History of the storms  All of Lower Southern Michigan was under a tornado watch at some point Tuesday night and early Wednesday.

The tornado watch for Southeast Michigan was posted shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday and was to be in effect through 4 a.m. Wednesday.  Tornado warnings in Southwest and Mid-Michigan were popping up through the late evening.   The first overnight tornado warning in Metro Detroit was issued for Washtenaw County, and storm damage has been reported in the Ann Arbor area. From there, tornado warnings were issued for Lenawee, Monroe and Wayne counties before the storms moved to Ontario and Lake Erie. There were also multiple severe thunderstorm warnings issued overnight in the region.

Tornado touches down in Northern California, no damage reported, officials say

dramatic thunderstorm over south african landscape

A tornado briefly touched down in Northern California Sunday afternoon as high winds and thunderstorms continued, officials said. The National Weather Service said the tornado happened at about 2:05 p.m. in an unpopulated area of Tehama County, located about four miles southeast of Vina. Weather officials said this area is rural grassland. The preliminary determination is that it was an EF-U tornado that touched down for about one minute. Officials say wind gusts, path width and length are unknown.  Maritza Arreola captured a video in the area of Highway 99 and Hamilton Nord Cana Highway. 

Maritza Arreola Officials added that there has not been any damage or injuries reported. Based on video the NWS viewed, it says no structures were impacted and that a damage survey team will not be sent to the area.  This all plays into the EF-U rating, which is when the tornado has an unknown strength. Since there is no damage to survey, officials would not be able to assign a rating, officials said. If there is damage reported, officials will further evaluate the tornado.  Radar aligned with the NWS video, which indicated a storm cell with rotation.  A Tornado Warning was issued around the time the tornado touched down. Earlier this week, down in the San Joaquin County area, a Tornado Warning was issued, but there were no reports of a tornado.  California averages about nine tornadoes a year, but they usually are rated EF-U to EF-1 and happen in the Central Valley.
