The good news is that truly extreme weather only happens sporadically in Michigan. The bad news is that it can be deadly, as we saw this month when a fast-forming EF-1 tornado felled a tree onto a house in Livonia, killing a child.
“Most people only face killer weather for about 2 minutes of their life, so that’s why they really don’t understand it,” said Mark Torregrossa, chief meteorologist for MLive.
