Here's an article about the tornado that blew through Grand Blanc, MI, last night [View all]

I was born in Flint but grew up in Grand Blanc. The Indian Hill subdivision mentioned in the article is where my niece lives. The 'Commons' mentioned is a nature reserve that is just down the street from the house.

GRAND BLANC, Mich. (WJRT) - Police say no one was hurt during a tornado overnight in Grand Blanc.

According to Grand Blanc police, around 1:20 a.m., a tornado touched down near Dort Highway and Reid Road. Police say the tornado went east through the city of Grand Blanc, the Indian Hill Subdivision, the Commons, and Kings Pointe subdivision, towards Perry and Belsay Roads and into Atlas Township.

Trees were knocked down, buildings were damaged, and debris was scattered. The trees that were uprooted caused damage to homes in Indian Hill and Kings Pointe subdivisions.

Grand Blanc City Police say that officers observed the tornado from their patrol vehicles.
