Severe weather causes major damage across Michigan

The National Weather Service confirmed that a tornado touched down in Washtenaw County, specifically the Freedom Township area.



NWS issued a Tornado Warning for that area just before 1:30 a.m. and it ran until 2:15 a.m.



Officials from the NWS do have to go out and survey the damage, but they said there was circulation that reached to the ground, and there was damage consistent with a tornado.



A confirmed tornado touched down in Millington, Mich., located in Tuscola County, about 80 miles north of Detroit. At least four homes were destroyed in that area. There was also another probably tornado in Sanilac County, and near Manchester in Washtenaw County.



This comes after a confirmed EF-1 tornado touched down for about 10 minutes in Portland, Mich. on Monday afternoon . It caused extensive damage in the town, located about 20 miles northwest of Lansing.



Officials say 70 homes, three churches and a dozen businesses sustained serious damage.



In all, there could be 4-5 tornadoes that touched down between Monday afternoon and early Tuesday morning across the state. Usually, according to Rexroth, Michigan sees 8-9 tornadoes in an entire year.



Damage from the tornadoes and severe storms across the region include localized flooding, uprooted trees, downed power lines and damage to buildings.
