Areas of Southeast Michigan damaged by strong storms

Strong storms took down trees and damaged buildings in some areas of Southeast Michigan on Saturday. Some of the worst damage was seen in Monroe County, along with the Van Buren Township and Belleville areas in western Wayne County. 

Strong storms that prompted multiple tornado warnings around Southeast Michigan left behind a mess for some.

Buildings were damaged, poles were knocked over, and trees were toppled. Much of this damage occurred in Monroe County and around Belleville and Van Buren Township in western Wayne County.

"The wind was going like crazy. Next thing we know, we looked over, a big old blue like fireball," said Robert Kecskes, who owns the 734 Hibachi food truck in Van Buren Township. "The trees are leaning, poles are down. Kind of crazy."

The National Weather Service will determine if a tornado touched down or if the damage was the result of straight line winds.
