GOBLES, Mich. — We are getting a clearer picture of the damage caused by storms that rolled through West Michigan on Sunday night.
The City of Portage says the storms impacted many parts of the communities damaged in the tornado from May 7. Multiple streets are blocked by fallen trees, several buildings were damaged, and some streets are still flooded.
Power outages in the area knocked out a number of traffic lights as well.
FOX 17 crews in Gobles found multiple trees with limbs broken off, with some damaging a wrought iron fence.
Reports from the National Weather Service say the top wind gusts reached 76 miles per hour in Kalamazoo County when a severe thunderstorm hit from Grand Rapids to the state's border last night.
The storm triggered multiple warnings from Berrien to Kent counties.
A number of trees lost limbs or were taken down from the storm in an area marked by Pine Groves, Bloomingdale, and Gobles. So far, no injuries have been reported because of the storm.
