Tornado Touches Down in U.P. | Lansing News

A confirmed tornado touched down near Shot Point, southeast of Marquette, marking the second in the Upper Peninsula this year—and the first since 2020. It began as a waterspout over Lake Superior before making landfall around 5:30 PM, weakening near the Sand River. Eight tornado warnings were issued, though officials are still investigating whether others were actual tornadoes. Meanwhile, eastern and central U.P. areas endured punishing hail—some as big as golf balls, with three-inch hail reported in Watson—and wind gusts over 50 mph. This storm system delivered a rare and intense mix of severe weather to the region. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
