Gaylord

More than 40 people were injured and at least two people killed after a tornado ripped through Gaylord Friday afternoon.

The most terrifying experience of my life. I just watched a tornado tear through Hobby Lobby while i stood frozen in the isle. The screams. Watching the roof come off. The wind and the rain and the darkness crushed through the back of the store and I just stood there and watched because I had no idea how to take cover.

With spring break upon us here in West Michigan, here is a fun and unique idea road trip idea to explore Michigan and it's bizarre oversized food artwork.

Another reason to travel north this winter.

Dog sledding, tubing, sleigh rides and more.

Watching this natural phenomenon can be tricky. But, these are said to be the best times and places to see the northern lights in Michigan.

Whenever I cross the 45th parallel, I kind of geek out. I don't know why. Maybe it's because it's a reminder of how much there is to see out in the world. Maybe it's because the sign is a physical testament that I'm in new surroundings. Maybe it's Michigan pride coming through. Where can you get a decent picture next to a 45th parallel sign?

What is happening in our public schools?

If snow makes you a jolly happy soul, you'll want to check out the Gaylord, Michigan snowman camera.
