Numerous trees and power lines were downed. Several homes and cottages were damaged by falling trees near Crooked and Pickerel Lakes, and a small aluminum boat was tossed into a tree. At a dealership in Petoskey, trailers were rolled off of a parking lot and into a ditch.
Many trees and power lines were downed, from the east end of Little Traverse Bay, extending inland a few miles. One car was crushed by a falling tree. A woman at Petoskey State Park was briefly trapped inside a motorhome.
Unseasonably cold air over the warmer waters of Lake Michigan triggered numerous cold air funnel clouds over Little Traverse Bay; three of which developed into waterspouts.
