Watch as 100-120 mph straight line winds take out the top of a train car in Portage, IN earlier this afternoon, about 15 minutes southwest of New Buffalo, MI. This was the line of storms that triggered a county-wide tornado warning for tornadic-like wind speeds moving into Berrien and Cass county. While most of the counties missed out on these higher wind speeds, parts of northern Indiana were not so lucky. 🎥 - Cody Fields - Portage, IN

A tornadic waterspout appears to have come onshore near Harvey (east of Marquette) this evening. If confirmed, this could be Michigan’s 24th tornado of 2026. We will await wording / confirmation from NWS Marquette in the coming days. This video was sent in from an anonymous local.

⚠️ A string of wildfires began earlier this afternoon, stretching from the Minnesota border up to the north of Lake Nipigon in Ontario, Canada. This sudden area of wildfires may result in hazier and smokier skies over the next 3-5 days as the high pressure system spins clockwise off to our southwest, allowing for continuous flow to bring smoke southward into Michigan. This is brand new development, and we continue to monitor potential impacts around the region. This could make going outside over the next several days extremely hazardous due to the combination of poor air quality, and excessive heat with temperatures around 100°F. Upper Peninsula and Isle Royale residents will be the most at-risk. Post as of 8:20 pm EDT 7/13/26.

⚠️MASSIVE wildfire ongoing now near Mio. We’re unsure if there are structures involved, or just wildfire related (or both), but this was speculated to be started by a downed power line from high winds. Evacuations are underway along camp 10 road west of Mio! MULTIPLE fires are breaking out across northern Michigan. Scanner feeds across many counties indicate high volume of fire calls. 📸Rylan S. - May 4th, 2026

The Cheboygan dam continues to flow wide open, and water levels are reportedly starting to rise once again today as more rain has impacted and will continue to impact the area. A state of emergency remains in effect for Cheboygan, and the risk of a dam failure remains the highest concern from local officials. Permission & Credit: Eric Nelson Jr

🚨Sirens are sounding at the Croton Dam this afternoon as water levels continue to rise, prompting downstream evacuation orders to be issued. Again, if you live in the floodplain of the Muskegon River downstream of the Croton Dam, you NEED to be evacuating right NOW!

This was the scene earlier this morning moments before the M6 pileup near Broadmoor Ave. Evan was driving eastbound in a snow squall with visibility down to 100 feet when a crew helping a disabled vehicle popped out of the curtain of snow. Moments later, the pileup occurs behind him. This video serves as a true reminder of how dangerous it is to travel at higher speeds inside of a snow squall, especially when the roads are already slippery. 🎥 - Evan Heemstra - Alaska, MI (Near GRR Airport)

Shortly before midnight, we had multiple reports sent in of an extremely bright green flash in the sky to the north. We went back in our database of Aurora cameras to find the culprit… and here it is!! The Manistee camera had the best angle as the object streaked across the northern sky. You can even pick up on a faint auroral glow at the same time! Not only that, but you can see the streak left behind from the flash after it occurred. Time was 11:13 PM EDT and approximately 35 seconds, October 29th, 2025, for those who’d also like to check any home security cameras.
