Survey crews from the National Weather Service were assessing damage today following a tornado yesterday in Antrim County.
Keith Berger is a Meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Gaylord. He said crews classified the tornado as an EF zero. The scale to measure a tornado is zero to five, where a zero is the least powerful.
“That's very typical of a northern Michigan tornado. Usually EF zeros EF ones. They come down they knock down a quarter acre of trees and they go back up just as quick as they came down. And that was certainly the case with this one”.
There were no reports of injuries from the storm.
“Looks like there was about a quarter of a mile of path length of tree damage, so trees into houses, and some power lines down”.
