Detroit Tornado Hits East Side | College Basketball News

Detroit’s east side took a direct hit from a confirmed tornado Thursday, marking the first in nearly 20 years — since July 1997 — and adding to a string of severe weather this spring. Thousands lost power as DTE Energy raced to restore electricity by Sunday, while downed traffic lights and damaged homes forced emergency crews into neighborhoods. Wayne County crews scrambled to secure roads and drainage systems, warning residents to stay clear of debris and downed wires. With more storms, hail, and wind possible Friday — plus a flood advisory for several counties — Detroit braces for a long recovery, but response teams are already on the ground, working around the clock to restore normalcy.
