We just had the roofing company out here, and hundreds of holes from shrapnel in the roof. It was definitely a tornado that came through.”
Ingham County Emergency Supervisor Rob Dale says winds had been harmful throughout the entire area on Sunday.
“It was a big storm and impacted a lot of the county. But we were able to get warnings out working with the Weather Service. We were able to activate our county wide, our tornado siren network,” says Dale. “Even in places that didn’t get a tornado, if you had 70 to 80 mile per hour winds that damaged your house, it’s the same for you. So we wanted people to get into their safe spaces regardless.”
