Not that anyone at their computer is in danger, but if you have friends/family who might be out enjoying the weekend it could be worth sending them a text.


Stay safe people.

4. with that name I always kinda figured as much

[Faygo Kid]

7. You, too. Are we obvious, or what?

[angstlessk]

5. Yeah, but God loves Detroit more than anyplace

Notice North, South, and West are all Tornado Warnings...we are going to get a little rain...not that I do not worry about fellow Michiganders, but according to the reverend Pat Robertson...God loves Detroit

6. I assume it is the effect of Lake St. Clair

I live about 2 miles inland from where the lake meets the Detroit River and I see storms break up and go around me all the time.


I am no meteorologist but from personal experience that is my uninformed assumption.


(or maybe God loves the Grosse Pointes)

8. I grew up on the west side of Detroit and

remember many tornado warning days but never any touching down in the city. Hope that holds true today as most of my family is still there............

11. There was a pretty bad one in Hamtrammic several years ago

had to have been back in the 90's. I was still working in Detroit.

9. Looks like it is actually headed your way :-(

Maybe God loves Macomb County .... Nah, even I knbow that's not true

[angstlessk]

10. Nah, It's Detroit, God has never heard of the Grosse Pointes :)

I saw the same thing happen the other day, as the storm grew near it dissipated at Detroit almost like magic...it was like an hour glass with the extreme weather just moved to the north and south...

P.S. Thanks for the information...

12. Hearing rumble in the sky here west of Cleveland

The only thing I see on the radar is that storm

13. It really wasn't much here in central Oakland Co.

The peak winds when the gust front blew through were probably 30 mph. Some lightning and thunder, and heavy rain. But all in all, here in the Bloomfields, we've seen far worse.

Its all over here except for some lingering light rain. The western sky is beginning to brighten just a bit.

So, considering they blew the sirens twice in less than an hour, not bad.

14. yup, i drove 60 miles in that storm here in northern, il.

there`s standing water in all the field around here.at least there was no really severe weather.
