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.

| A tornado touched down near the intersection of N Hellman and Grindstone Rd, 1 mile east of Port Austin. Shortly after the tornado touched down, an outbuilding was destroyed, marking its peak intensity of 80 mph winds. As the tornado tracked east, a field of soybean crops was damaged. Numerous trees were then damaged as the tornado approached Sullivan Rd, in which the damage swath was approximately 50 yards in width. The tornado continued to track eastward, causing damage to a fence line before lifting just prior to reaching Tomlinson Rd. | |||||||

| The tornado path extended from just northeast of Calkins and North McKinley Rd, just west of Elms Rd between Corunna and Calkins Rd. The most significant damage, consistent with EF1 damage, was along Calkins Rd, west of Morrish Road; and along Morrish Road, south of Calkins Rd. Peak winds were estimated at 100 mph. Notable damage included three garages that were either partially or completely destroyed. Additional damage included minor structural damage to adjacent homes, including the loss of roofing materials and siding. There was sporadic tree and crop damage along the path. | |||||||

| A tornado touched down just southwest of the city of Armada, around the intersection of 34 mile and Armada Ridge Rd. Initial damage consisted of plentiful tree damage and sporadic roofing damage mainly to shingles. Initial damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado. Tornado then increased in strength to an EF1 tornado on Main St on the west side of Armada. Peak winds were estimated at 105 mph. Damage in the city consisted of massive tree damage with uprooted and sheared trees. Several residential homes observed shingle damage, with a couple of houses exhibiting more severe damage to the roofing structure as roofing material was removed from the home. One house lost all roofing, with the upper walls then collapsing. The tornado then tracked northeast towards the school complexes in town, dropping in intensity down to EF0. Damage observed at this point included several uprooted trees and large limbs snapped. The tornado then continued north-northeast towards Omo and Florence Rd, re-strengthening to an EF1, where a residential home lost a large section of roofing. The tornado briefly continued up Omo Rd before lifting. | |||||||

| A tornado touched down 1 mile NNE of White Lake just west of the intersection of Teggerdine Rd and Pontiac Lake Rd. The tornado began as an EF-0 in which several healthy trees were uprooted and snapped. The tornado then tracked southeast toward a neighborhood at the intersection of Pontiac Lake Rd and Howland Blvd where it produced EF-1 damage, including shingle and roof damage, garage damage with one garage door completely blown off, and numerous healthy trees uprooted and snapped. Peak winds were estimated at 100 mph. A house was damaged when multiple pine trees fell onto it, resulting in one minor injury. The tornado then tracked to the northeast and crossed Pontiac Lake Rd before tracking across Pontiac Lake as an EF-0, in which it produced shingle damage and uprooted numerous trees in neighborhoods located on the peninsula north of Pontiac Lake Rd along Buckingham St and a second peninsula off of Gale Rd near Tackles Dr. The tornado then tracked northeast of the peninsulas and lifted while over the water on Pontiac Lake prior to reaching Gale Rd. | |||||||

*** 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)
