Yep there is and it was hitting Ann Arbor hard and now starting to pour here ... again ... but the ground is dry so it should soak up a lot of the water.

Hail and high winds are the main problems with these storms.

I hear parts of Dearborn were devastated. A major gas line ruptured, huge trees uprooted.

Here in west Michigan we had strait line winds that caused a lot of damage. My neighborhood was spanked real bad and there is the steady drone of chainsaws and shredders yet today. There was a man killed by a falling tree in Cutlerville, not more than 2 miles from the exit 75 truck stop south of grand rapids.

I wouldn't say devastated, but lots of power outages from downed trees. One tree did tear out a gas line supplying a neighborhood, but the damage was contained.

If it hit Detroit, it might actually improve things
