A lot of nasty turbulence. A street of vortices north of the equator. When has that ever happened? Wow.

The current 'heat' across the country mixed with colder air around the Great Lakes.

The vortex street above the Equator is primarily stagnant air simply spinning due to high heat content. The only movement of the equatorial phenomena is Coriolis.

The Jet Stream is running north of the vortex street.  It was the Jet Stream that 'mixed' portions of each air mass to bring high turbulence to the Great Lakes where colder air would cause quick changes in 'static' conditions.

Earth is a very hot planet due to high carbon dioxide levels and the deaths related to these tornadoes can be attributed to the Climate Crisis. There is nothing 'normal' about those patterns.

WOW.

• Bailey Bowman, 21, of Walbridge, who was picked up and tossed by the tornado as she, a male companion, and her small child were trying to take refuge at the Lake Township police station;


• Ted Kranz, 46, a Millbury resident who reportedly stepped outside of his home during the storm and was struck when part of the house fell on him;


• Hayden Walters, 4, and his mother, Mary Walters, also Millbury residents. The boy was killed during the tornado and Mrs. Walters died later at a Toledo hospital.

In Fulton County, a Swancreek Township woman suffered cuts on her foot and shoulder when the storm destroyed a home at 1520 County Road 7 between County Roads A and B, Fulton County authorities said early Sunday morning. The injured woman was struck by flying debris as she, two children, and a friend fled to a neighbor's house before the storm reduced the other residence to rubble, authorities said.

Numerous homes were damaged in the same rural residential area, the Sheriff Darrell Merillat.
At County Roads C and 3, several trees were strewn across the roads, Chief Deputy Roy Miller said. The area also was littered with metal roofing that had been ripped from barns and other structures.
