Storms and tornado damage in Michigan have proven to be much worse than originally thought. Hundreds of downed trees, power outages that won’t be cleared up, in some cases, until late Sunday. Deaths were attributed to the storms with businesses and homes damaged or destroyed. Clear evidence of a tornado in NE Grand Rapids and one down around Lansing, in addition to severe wind damage all over the place. We haven’t had a bad storm event in some time, but this one seemed determined to make up for lost time. Prayers for all of those impacted by that weather.
This weekend will be so uneventful, thank goodness, and cooler than what we’ve been experiencing. The pleasant weather should hold out all week. Chance of rain about Tuesday, but other than that, nothing in the forecast to create concern. Try, if you are able, to enjoy this weekend. For those struggling to overcome the recent destructive weather, know that so many of us are thinking of you, reaching out to help, and praying for your recovery.
