storm damage

Michigan's Governor declared a state of emergency for Branch, Hillsdale, and St. Joseph Counties after severe storms and winds devastated the area.

Utility crews are still hard at work in Michigan getting customers reconnected to power lines following the devastating storms of last week. One of the areas literally devastated by the storms is the rural area around the Village of Reading in Hillsdale County.

Storms that moved through Michigan Wednesday into Thursday left behind a trail of destruction.

Another big line of storms roared across the state overnight. The sounds at times were more like sensations with homes and buildings shaking from pressure waves from the lightning and thunder.

In Three Rivers what started as a typical Thunderstorm quickly escalated, with the worst of the damage happening in mere moments.
