From power outages to forest destruction, Michigan’s worst ice storm is still being felt a year later. The numbers are staggering, and recovery is ongoing.
A powerful March storm could bring everything from heavy rain and thunderstorms to ice and snow across Michigan. Forecasters say the system may split the state into dramatically different weather zones.
Overnight storms moved across Michigan bringing heavy rain, freezing rain, and falling temperatures. Some roads became icy while others flooded, causing closures in Genesee and Saginaw Counties.
Genesee County tests its outdoor warning sirens regularly to make sure they work during severe weather. Volunteers across the community help listen and report if anything sounds wrong.
