Grand Traverse County tornado
The first tornado happened in Grand Traverse County along Long Lake Road at 4:50 p.m.
According to the NWS, a video showed a tornado briefly touching down for about a minute. There was no damage and the wind speed was unknown, so the tornado was defined EF-U.

The 10-yard-wide EF-0 tornado reached speeds of 75 mph as it traveled .14 miles. Minor tree damage was reported.
