5/12/14 - Residents of southern Livingston County and Washtenaw County were urged to seek shelter for nearly 90 minutes Monday afternoon after the National Weather Service station in White Lake Township issued a tornado warning. NWS officials say they received a report of a tornado touchdown at 3:39 near Gregory, but have yet to confirm the report. The warning was originally set to expire at 4:15pm, but was extended until 5pm based on a follow-up storm cell that indicated activity between Stockbridge and Unadilla Township which had the potential for tornado-type formation. But the storm system moved off to the southeast and the warning was allowed to expire at 5pm. Local school districts went into lockdown and only dismissed students once the warnings had expired. (JK)
