Sunday got pretty active here come late afternoon into early evening.
Four tornadoes touched down in Michigan on Sunday evening.
The National Weather Service confirmed that tornadoes touched down in Cass County and Kent County on the west side of the state and Ingham County near Lansing.
Timeline:
One of the tornadoes, an EF-1 twister, hit Edwardsburg in Cass County near the Indiana border at 4:52 p.m. The storm with nearly 100 mph winds snapped trees and caused damage to buildings while on the ground for three minutes.
Another tornado touched down in Cutlerville at 5:42 p.m., bringing with it 80 mph winds to the Kent County city.
Two additional tornadoes were confirmed in Ingham County. First, an EF-0 tornado with 75 mph winds touched down in Leslie at 6:20 p.m., before a stronger EF-1 tornado with 110 mph winds was on the ground for more than 5 miles in Williamston at 6:40 p.m.
According to Ingham County Emergency Management, winds from the storms knocked a tree on a Stockbridge Township home, killing a 56-year-old man.
Big picture view:
Beyond the confirmed tornadoes, severe weather was reported across Michigan on Sunday evening.
In Kalamazoo County's Climax Township, a tree fell on a van, killing a 2-year-old girl, her 4-year-old brother, and their 11-year-old cousin. Two adults and another child were also hurt.
The powerful storms knocked out power for thousands across the state and caused damage, especially on the west side of the state.
That Williamston EF-1 was just 6 to 8 miles from me. Lots of wind and weird wind noises, but not a lot of tree limbs down here. Power never blinked.
