GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — There's no denying Michigan is seen as one of the few swing states in the 2024 Presidential Election, but can we avoid being the spin state for the 4th-consecutive election?
So far each election day in Michigan in 2024 has seen at least one confirmed tornado touch down in the state. Will this November be any different?
The trend started during February's Presidential Primary when a tornado struck northeast of Marshall.
