Hundreds of thousands of customers have been left without power in the state.
Severe storms powered by winds of up to 75mph in Michigan have downed trees, tore roofs off buildings and killed five people.
The sheriff’s office said a 22-year-old Gowen man who was driving the car carrying the Gowen woman and two girls was seriously injured in the crash, which occurred when his car struck a vehicle. That vehicle’s driver suffered minor injuries. Trees were uprooted, and some roofs collapsed during Thursday’s storms, leaving many roads closed due to fallen trees and power lines. The National Weather Service in Grand Rapids said officials would be in the field on Friday conducting damage surveys on two suspected tornadoes, in Kent and Ingham counties.
Wayne County executive Warren Evans declared a state of emergency on Friday in Michigan’s largest county, which includes Detroit, due to power outages, flooding, fallen trees and power lines and storm debris.
