Every day is Earth Day at NWS! To celebrate our beautiful Earth, here is a collection of some of our favorite photos from around our slice of it here in Michigan.
At least 10 tornadoes touched down in Michigan in an outbreak on April 21, 1967, including an F3 tornado that tracked from Grandville to East Grand Rapids. This was the same outbreak that produced two tornadoes that killed 58 people in Oak Lawn, IL and Belvidere, IL. You can find photos here.
