Tornado

Location:
Fenton Township, MI

The worst damaged home on Jennings Rd with EF-2 Damage.


Several Tornadoes touched down during the evening hours of Tuesday May 28, 2013. A damaging tornado touched down near the intersection of Fairbanks and Thompson Rd east of Linden, MI in Fenton Township. These areas were closed off for several hours while crews cleaned up the damage. These photos were taken behind the road block during the afternoon and eventually behind the roadblock later during the evening when the road was opened back up. Below are pictures I took of the damage with a full recap of the event from the NWS DTX Office.
