Michigan State Police confirmed the death of one person and said on Twitter that more than 40 people were injured and being treated at hospitals in the area.
Jim Gorno, spokesman for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, described the situation after the storm swept away a densely populated residential area as “catastrophic,” adding, “We’re not used to it.[kasırgaları uyarmak için]We don’t have a mermaid, unlike other parts of the country. ” “.
Jim Kesor, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said strong winds are rare in this area of Michigan because the Great Lakes absorb energy from storms, especially in early spring when the lakes are very cold. .
