Do tornado's hit Michigan

Answer 1

"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.

Answer 2

Yes. Michigan has about 15 tornadoes each year on average. Three of these tornadoes have been rated F5, including the Flint, Michigan tornado of 1953 which was one of the deadliest in U.S. history.

Answer 3

There is no official tornado season, however activity is generally highest in the months of May through July, peaking in June. As climates shift over time from decade to decade, so does the tornado season.

Yes. Michigan gets tornadoes every year. The worst tornado in Michigan history was an F5 that devastated portions of Flint and Beecher on June 8, 1953, killing 116 people.

Answer 8

No, Michigan is not usually affected by hurricanes as they come up from the Atlantic Ocean and Michigan is too far north and west.
