July 2022Tornado (EF0)Bayport Park$35,000An NWS storm survey confirmed a weak tornado developed over or along the shoreline of eastern Lake Fenton during the late evening of July 11th. The tornado tracked east-southeast for 7.5 miles before lifting 3 miles east-southeast of Holly/just west of I-75 in northern Oakland County. The first indication of damage occurred on Pine Street near Lake Fenton where large limbs fell on a home, which took out a second-story dormer and a portion of the roof. Tree damage was sparse and sporadic along the path, mainly consisting of tree limbs and leaves down. The weak tornado crossed into northwest Oakland County just southwest of Oyster Lake, and continued tracking southeast for an additional 6.1 miles. The peak damage was observed in the backyard of a home on Addis Road in Holly. About a dozen trees suffered significant damage. The home also lost a few vinyl siding panels and a pergola was damaged. A barn farther down the road lost some metal roofing.
