Severe Thunderstorm Warning For Mid Michigan

Severe Thunderstorm Warning For Mid Michigan

After a sunny, lovely morning, our skies have become dark and strong thunderstorms have been moving across the state since about 4 PM.  We haven’t received anything yet but a few sprinkles so far.  Looking at the radar, it doesn’t seem to me that what’s coming our way is anything but heavy rain.  Some areas affected so far have reported hail as large as baseballs.  I’m also hearing of trees down and power outages in the mid portions of the state.  The storms are just now approaching us so how bad it will be remains to be seen.
