Tornado sweeps through Livonia (MI), killing 2-year-old

5. Just oppped up out of a mild storm

Really a weird weather ewvent to have a mild rain storm strengthen enough seemingly instantly, to produce as small tornado. Sounds like it was an EF1 that only lasted a short time.

The alarm bells are going off for me in Michigan right now. There is a lot of wind now on the regular. We have wind storms several times a year now that are strong enough o bring down large limbs on trees. We used to only get those types of wind storms every few years. There have been several tordadic events in the last 12 months that are not normal. Late last Smmer 1 storm produced like 15 or 16 tornados, 1 of which was a deadly strong F2, almost F3. Then this Spring the Portage area got hammered by a strong F2 followed immediately by a 2nd tornado an hour later along almost the same exact path.

This is not normal for Michigan.
