HOLLAND, Mich. (AP) — The remnants of Tropical Storm Cristobal were moving out of the Midwest and into Canada on Wednesday, with gusty winds and heavy rain leaving behind flooding in Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri and Iowa.

High winds brought down trees and left thousands without power in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Nebraska. In rural Iroquois County, south of Chicago, a brief tornado was reported late Tuesday, the National Weather Service said. No injuries were reported.

A line of thunderstorms pushed through Ottawa County in western Michigan Wednesday morning. The city of Holland along Lake Michigan activated storm warning sirens as winds reached speeds of 70 mph, according to the county’s emergency management office.

Power lines and trees were reported down in Holland and other cities.

3. It wasn't that bad in Flint, but north of here - Yikes! And I'm still hearing some weird thunder

It rumbles for so long people were calling 911 because they thought it sounded like a tornado.

Temperatures have dropped by about 20 degrees.
