https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10160242926902559&id=83040292558 This is what it's been like going on 18 hours around this part of michigans thumb. I would guess 4 inches of snow but with the wind it's been very difficult to impossible to travel outside of towns. Sheriff's department early this afternoon stressed no travel unless an absolute emergency and wreckers and road crews were being pulled at dark. So despite that relative low snowfall totals it definitely will be one to remember locally for a while.

What the hell is the SWC and what drug were they on when they posted that best guess low track map

I see Hawaii is under a svr tstorm watch right now don't remember seeing that too often

I always feeled robbed when such a dramatic shift in the weather comes with zero local interesting phenomenon like your dry frontal passage

Box elders are good for that too.

Now that the lakes are near or at there warmest I wouldn't mind some unseasonably cool temps for maybe a couple waterspout days.

We get the Ohio version instead. "Referring to Spartan in case someone didn't get the reference"

Winds will die quickly as soon as daytime mixing stops

Updated to 44 injuries

If it is rated an ef3, damage looks like ef2-3 will be the rating, it would be the first ef or f3 or higher tornado in the Gaylord forecast area 31 years and first in the entire state of Michigan in 10 years

One dead and 23 with injuries. 1st death from a tornado in Michigan in 12 years https://www.wnem.com/2022/05/21/least-1-dead-23-hurt-northern-michigan-tornado/

Gaylord is more heavily residential east and se of i75 so it missed the most densely populated area of town to the northwest

Multiple injuries some trapped per scanner

This is/was a big tornado cc drop is large not good

Hope that the elevated stuff in Wisconsin can survive the night and lay an outflow boundary somewhere toward the us10 area that something could fire and latch on too. Once you get north as others have said it's all hills/trees and a very spotty road network. Chances it happens are not high but it's better then trying to work up north. Or wait for a better day.

There is a set of trails that run in eastern sanilac county/se Huron county over here in the thumb, I don't ride so no idea what they are like but I see the maps every once/while hanging in a couple local sporting goods shops

I'm surprised you have any healthy ash trees left down there. The emerald ash borer wiped out almost all of them in Michigan in the past 10 years.

Did you notice the second tornado/waterspout that occurred to the nw of the main tornado? Around the time the above tornado was roping out, I looked to the north from m25 and could see a second funnel and thin condesation funnel about 3 miles nnw. The funnel went behind the treeline so I couldn't get a good look to see if/where it was on the ground at. I found a video online that appears to show the second tornado/spout I seen. https://m.facebook.com/groups/147834125298027/permalink/4161742787240454/?anchor_composer=false

https://www.facebook.com/564090982/videos/260458999220451/ link to video from todays port austin tornado. not the greatest thing in the world recording with my phone but for a michigan tornado not hidden in rain/grunge ill take it.

Btw this touched down less then a mile from where last months ef2 hit. As it roped out

It was on the ground for about 5 miles missed pretty much any structures minus one barn it destroyed. I have more pictures and video just need to figure out how to post the video since I hate technology
