Monroe, the town this property stands in, in 61 storm reports between 1994 and 2025: 43 thunderstorm wind, 15 hail, 2 flood, 1 lightning.
The reports record 3 injuries. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Three RV's were blown over. A Carleton woman was injured at the Harbortown RV Resort on LaPlaisance Road. Another person was injured at Sterling State Park.
Law enforcement reported widespread trees down throughout the city of Monroe and across eastern portions of Monroe County. Many homes and businesses suffered damage. The City of Monroe declared an emergency later in the night and asked people to stay off the streets. Winds were estimated at 65 MPH. Total property damages were estimated at roughly $75K.
Lightning struck a home and a fire smoldered for 3 hours before erupting into a full blown fire. The home and the family's contents sustained heavy water, smoke and heat damage. No injuries were sustained. Total property damage was roughly estimated at 75K based on pictures included in the newspaper.
Several trees, large limbs, and power lines were downed. Two cars in Monroe were smashed by falling trees. A home in Woodland Beach was heavily damaged when a tree fell on it. Power was out in downtown Monroe well into the next day.
Two trees were uprooted, one damaging part of the deck on a house in Bedford Township. Winds took down power lines at other locations around the county.
A slow moving cold front drifted south across southeast Michigan. Most of the area stayed cloudy and cool during the day. The exception was near the Ohio border, where ample sunshine pushed temperatures to near 80. A number of thunderstorms developed ahead of the cold front, but only near the Ohio border were the storms able to (barely) reach severe levels.
