As I was driving home from work tonight, I was wondering if YOU were okay!?

It looks like it was pretty bad near Hickory Corners........

I was at work, but I think that we had three tornado warnings?

prancingpony · 06-06-2008, 11:55 PM

Good to hear that others are OK!!! All we had were high winds here---not one drop of rain!

equine.trailrider · 06-07-2008, 01:15 AM

We got hammered! The rain was welcomed and we got an excellent soaking. I was told a tornado went down I-94.

blueberry · 06-07-2008, 07:48 AM

Our area pretty much dodged everything. We have several downpours and lightening but nothing else. A little to the west of us had all the warnings and such.

short_kid · 06-07-2008, 07:54 AM

We had a lot of wind. But when it decided to rain, boy did it come down. We had thunder and lightning.

dodib · 06-07-2008, 08:20 AM

Yeah it rained on us all day yesterday then had high winds last night-- but we are all ok today....................... horses are extremely dirty I need to go brush them all and clean out the barn --they obviously spent lots of time in it last night

Thunderz Gurlz · 06-07-2008, 07:33 PM

I was driving home in it too!

... I was in Paw Paw/Gobles area when it started. Normaly it takes me 45 min to from Paw Pawish to here... and it took 1 1/2 hours!!! I had to take millions of detours.. Accidents all over... I was going though water 1' high.. My dang trucks sun roof was leaking... my saddle was in there... got soaked!

Ohh well Im here and A live so thats all that matters! lol

short_kid · 06-07-2008, 07:53 PM

Glad to hear your alright. It is scary how fast the weather can change.

Karen Cole · 06-07-2008, 09:51 PM

Last night's storm was worse for us than the first one. We have big tree branches down from our willow tree. Not only did we get a lot of rain but I left the water on in the barn so it was flooded in there too!

OH SNAP!!!!!!!!!!

DriftwoodAcres · 06-08-2008, 02:59 PM

Last nights storm was bad, 4 inches in my area. The wind pushed a gate open.... So at 7:00 in the morning, guess who's horses where out on the road. I got sooo nervous, I was soo worried because of the mud my filly would slip and break a leg.... Then we went and drove around; everything's flooded. I know there was a car that tried to drive in the puddle and it pulled it in; now all the people can see is the roof of the car. There was places were the water had built up 10ft. and was eating the road. Everybody else ok w/ this flooding?

blueberry · 06-08-2008, 04:29 PM

Round 2 of the weather. We just got rain in our area (Tuscola Co.). It sounded like it might have been worse down by where PonyExpress is. The tv said they had quite a bit of damage up in the West Branch area. Some of the businesses in town were damaged pretty badly.

Pony express · 06-08-2008, 05:57 PM

Bad here today. I was at an Open house in Lapeer and it came up really quick. Pitch black, we were on a lake and the waves were really high. Tornado sirens going off. I heard there were 3 sightings within 30 miles of us. On the way home there were tons of branchs and small trees down. It has settled down somewhat here and I'm wondering when the next round is due. Tomorrow is my son's high school graduation commencements, I hope it stays decent out

equine.trailrider · 06-09-2008, 08:48 AM

The storm the night before last must've been a doozy! I had my tent up still from Memorial Day weekend still. It had my blow up bed in it, a Rubbermaid tote I keep my linens in, a battery powered coleman lantern. It was anchored but blew across the road! It was ripped to shreds and the poles were broken! My blow up bed survived though! LOL I should have taken it down sooner! It doesn't pay to procrastinate!

Thunderz Gurlz · 06-09-2008, 10:48 AM

Yes, Yesterday was worse.. We lost power for 4 hours.

minihoof · 06-11-2008, 07:58 AM

We really got hammered Friday a tornado went just south of us and then Sunday a tornado went through just North of us we lost power Sunday and it didn't come back on til Monday late afternoon, I don't want to go through that again. It was scarry.
