Do tornado's hit Michigan?
"Hurricanes", do not travel that far north, and keep their strength, however, the remnants of a hurricane, can travel all the way into Canada and farther north. As a storm system runs into drier and cooler air, the Tropical winds of the Hurricane are eliminated. Let's say a Hurricane makes Landfall in Mississippi as a Category 3. As the hurricane makes its way inland, the wind speed gradually decreases. How ever far north "damaging hurricane winds" occur does vary depending on the size and strength of the hurricane. As it travels north-east ward, and it most always does, due to the West to East flow across the United States, the winds weaken considerably, usually around 30-35 mph, but the moisture is still tropical. As we saw with Ike in Michigan. A cold front from the northwest, acted as a blocking wall, funneling all that moisture northeastward, plus the regular moisture the cold front contained.
