• 1 in Clare County
• 1 in Mecosta County

Huron County's was the strongest, touching down near Port Austin in the Thumb Region of the state. Forecasters said the EF-2 tornado had top winds of 120 miles per hour and was on the ground for about seven miles.
There were six injuries reported, at least six homes were damaged and several garages and a barn were destroyed.
The tornadoes came as strong storms struck Michigan over the weekend, leading to historic and catastrophically damaging flooding that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer blames on climate change.
