Tornado Archive

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been tracking tornadoes for decades. This interactive map, which contains data from January 1950 to February 29, 2024, pinpoints where a cyclone touched down and traces its path of destruction. For more recent tornadoes, clicking deeper provides more details, damage estimates and whether someone was injured or killed in the storm.

Summary

Temperatures soaring into the lower 90s across much of Southeast Michigan set the stage for severe storms as a strong cold front dropped south into southern Lower Michigan. First round of storms developed near Saginaw Bay during the early afternoon hours. A second round of storms arrived during the evening hours, spawning an EF1 tornado in Owendale in western Huron County. The solid line of storms then tracked south through all of southeast Michigan, exiting the State shortly after midnight. Sporadic wind damage occurred, leaving over 60,000 DTE customers without power. Rainfall totals exceeded 2 inches in isolated spots. There was also golf ball size hail reported near Saginaw.

*** Enhanced Fujita Scale describes the strength of the tornado based on the amount and type of damage caused by the tornado. The F-scale of damage will vary in the destruction area; therefore, the highest value of the F-scale is recorded for each event. EF0 – Light Damage (40 – 72 mph), EF1 – Moderate Damage (73 – 112 mph), EF2 – Significant damage (113 – 157 mph), EF3 – Severe Damage (158 – 206 mph), EF4 – Devastating Damage (207 – 260 mph), EF5 – Incredible Damage (261 – 318 mph)
