At least something good came out of the Palm Sunday tornado outbreak...

One catastrophic F4 tornado killed six and injured 200 in Conway, Arkansas before the main outbreak occurred the next day. It is among the most intense outbreaks ever recorded. Numerous violent and long-track tornadoes, some possibly reaching F5 intensity, tore across the Great Lakesstates, killing hundreds of people. Two violent F4 tornadoes hit Dunlap, Indiana, killing 51 people there. Two F4 tornadoes with parallel paths in Michigan killed 44 people. Deadly tornadoes also impacted the Cleveland and Toledo areas. National Weather Service adopts standard broadcast language of tornado watch and tornado warning to use for public warnings of tornadoes following the aftermath of this storm.

Ha! And we don't get any. They say the lake keeps that from happening (most of the time anyway) I should add that I grew up in eastern SD and seen them quite often.

We got the Huron mountains between us and the NOAA radar unit in Marquette MI so they shadow us a bit. Not sure how high the shadow goes but lake snow is low and sometimes the radar can't see it. Worthless weather trivia.
