A large tree was uprooted along Inkster Road in Livonia. The falling tree damaged two homes and a car, and destroyed a porch. In Redford, numerous trees were blown down.
A quick 1.75 to 2.5 inches of rain in thunderstorms lead to flash flooding on roadways.|Cars were stranded in flood waters at Davison and John C Lodge Freeways. All lanes of traffic along I-75 were flooded in the area of Holbrooke Avenue and 11 Mile Road. Flooding also caused several road closures along M-39 between Joy Road and Rotunda Drive.
State Police and MDOT reported flooding on both lanes of I-94 and I-75. MODT also reported flooding across all lanes in both directions of M-39, and some of the lanes of SB I-75 after 7 mile, and EB I-96 at Grand River. Finally, some flooding observed on SB lanes of M-10 at M-8.
