| episode_narrative | On Saturday, August 16, 1997, a cold front moved slowly south across Michigan's Lower Peninsula. One low pressure wave moved along the front early that morning, resulting in severe thunderstorm development over south central Lower Michigan. Later that afternoon, with very humid and unstable air in place across far southern Lower Michigan, another frontal wave caused severe thunderstorm development along the southern 2 tier of counties across southern Michigan. The thunderstorms produced heavy rainfall amounts of 2 to 5 inches in the counties bordering northern Indiana and northern Ohio, along with isolated reports of wind damage from 60 mph thunderstorm wind gusts. One thunderstorm produced golfball-sized hail in Edwardsburg in Cass County on Saturday afternoon. Local utility companies reported approximately 55,000 power outages during the afternoon and evening across far southern Michigan, most a result of lightning strikes, but some due to downed trees and utility poles. |
| event_narrative | Local law enforcement officials sighted a waterspout approximately 5 miles west of Michiana, just offshore, over Lake Michigan. The waterspout dissipated before moving ashore. |
