Photographer states :: An early fall windstorm hit southern Lake Michigan today. Wind gusts as high as 50 mph with more expected tomorrow. Went up to St. Joe Michigan and shot those lighthouses and will try our lighthouse tomorrow if I get the chance.

A baby boy has survived being thrown 40 feet into the air by a tornado and buried beneath the rubble of his home.
Fourteen month old Blake Opperman was sleeping in his cradle when the tornado tore through the township of Millington in Michigan.
The family called the emergency services saying their baby was missing after the house was destroyed but a neighbor heard the baby crying and helped pull him out.
He was found beneath pounds of rubble - under his mattress crib with electric wire wrapped several times around his neck.
Blake was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but incredibly he escaped with just scratches and bruises.
The storms in Michigan killed three people and left nine thousand homes without power.
