Default Tornadoes?

I just caught the end of a piece on the news about tornado damage NW of Detroit.

Everyone OK?

Just got a text from my SIL who is a MSP Trooper. The town of Dexter is pretty devestated, many subdivisions are leveled.

Prayers sent.

Extremely nasty looking weather to the southwest, looking from my back deck. Lots of thunder and just some gentle rain. No wind, etc. Guess we got lucky in Brighton.

Channel 2 in Detroit reporting no fatalities . Dexter hit the worst.
Looks like a subdivision hit the worst. Hands of light in action are responding.
