Crews in Flint Area Work to Clear Storm Damage

Crews in the Flint area are working to clear damage after severe storms moved through Michigan’s Lower Peninsula.

Tree branches blocked a roadway in Genesee County’s Genesee Township, where several homes were severely damaged Tuesday night.

Township police Chief John Mullaly tells he saw several houses so severely damaged that “they will probably have to be destroyed.”

Officials in the Goodrich area, where a tornado reportedly touched down, also worked to survey the damage.

Atlas Township Supervisor Shirley Kautman-Jones says a home near the township hall was demolished by the storms. She says a woman and two children were in the basement of the home at the time storms moved through and they weren’t injured.
