episode_narrativeThunderstorms developed in a very warm and humid airmass ahead of an approaching cold front. Thunderstorms developed during the late morning hours around Adrian and then quickly moved northeast and affected the metro Detroit region. These storms dissipated early in the afternoon. However storms redeveloped across western and central Lower Michigan by mid afternoon. These storms then moved into eastern Michigan. The storms continued through the afternoon and much of the evening hours. Severe wind gusts were associated with many of these storms. The most widespread thunderstorm activity occurred across Washtenaw and Wayne counties where thunderstorms repeatedly move through during much of the day. Thousands of power outages were reported throughout eastern Michigan.
event_narrativeA newspaper reported that a lightning strike traveled through the ductwork of four furnaces in the same neighborhood. This started a fire in the basement of each home. Three of the homes suffered only minor damage, but the fire got into the drywall of the fourth home and caused more substantial damage.
