Michican gets its fair share of tornadoes. Compared to other states, it is close to the median. It usually gets between a dozen and two dozen tornadoes per year, but has seen a few major outbreaks.

Yes, tornadoes are fairly common in Michigan.

Most notable was the Flint, Michigan tornado of June 8, 1953. This F5 tornado killed 116 people, ranking it as one of the deadliest in U.S. history and the last U.S. tornado to kill more than 100 people.

If it is, it is highly unlikely. No tornado has been recorded in Michigan since official records began in 1950. This should not be taken as ab absolute no, however, since as recently as last year, Nebraska had its first ever February tornadoes on record, and tornadoes have hit Michigan in November and January.
