2. It missed the worst of it in Lansing, but they're getting hammered to our east now.

Williamston, Fowlerville, Howell in the path, heading towards Ann Arbor. We're still getting thunder here in Lansing, but the worst is over. Lots of power outages in Lansing, but I lucked out...so far.

I think there was a siting within 10 miles of my house. I had put everything in my yard down & away. Put a car cover on 1 car in case of hail. Someone in the family on west side here had a broken window from hail. Def worst is over now, but East is getting it.
