Black sky north and east. Lightning was impressive! Tornado sirens sounded three times here. Shades of Palm Sunday 1965—it just felt like it all day. WAY too close.
My daughter has an attic apartment just east of U of M's campus. She and her cat were down in the basement of the house and she was texting me for updates. I was trying to keep track of the different storm cells, which were heading all different directions, and give her an idea about whether her car was going to be safe from the hail. She had wondered earlier in the day if she should pay to park it in a structure until the storm past. She got heavy rain and small, non-damaging hail, so she was ok. She did have to drive to work near the sports complex during the tail end of the storm. Meanwhile, here in Plymouth, it got very dark and we had some rain, but that was it.
