I have a friend who lived in one of the houses that was trashed by the tornado. By the Grace of God, him and his family lived through it. Insurance paid tens of thousands more than if he had tried to sell it.
He's a real surprising success story. Orphaned by 12, his older brother raised him and another brother. All three are married with kids, stable and happy.
Growing up in Oklahoma I am very used to thunderstorms and tornados. I found it funny that during the weather reports in MI they would emphasize that there might actually be thunder in a storm. Guess I always assumed that is what happened during a storm. Now I can see alerting people to hail or tornados but the thunder thing always seemed strange to me.
