but I've lived in MI all my life and remember not too long ago when tornadoes and floods were rare. I've been through 2 tornado warnings so far this year and one was before Spring officially started. Just went through a major flood where 2 local dams were close to failing. We had a flood 5 years ago and one around 1986, those are the only ones I can remember.
