Amateur radio operators reported an estimated 65-mph wind gust in Vicksburg, which downed up to 10 trees. Two 24" diameter trees were snapped of 8 feet above the ground and landed on a bowling alley. A damage estimate was not available. This severe thunderstorm downed trees and power lines scattered across Kalamazoo County, which resulted in power outages for approximately 26,000 customers of Consumers Energy.
