filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
A couple was struck by lightning after taking shelter from the rain under a tree at 2301 EST in Krainz Park near East Hildale and Justine on Detroit's east side. The pair was taken to Detroit Receiving Hospital, where the 44 year old woman was later pronounced dead. The 2nd person, a 46 year old male, survived but was initially in temporary serious condition at the hospital.
Several trees were downed in the Palmer Woods subdivision on the north side of Detroit. A large tree was downed across the southbound lanes of Woodward Avenue (M-1) north of Seven Mile Road, blocking traffic for two hours.
