An EF3 tornado with 150 MPH wind struck nearby Gaylord on Friday afternoon. Gaylord is about 50 highway miles south of Cheboygan, maybe 40 as the crow flies. Tornadoes are rare in Michigan and almost unheard of this far north. As far as I know, this is only the third one, and the only one with fatalities and extensive property damage, in my lifetime. We had some rain that day, but hardly a breath of wind. If I hadn't turned my TV on to watch the evening news, I wouldn't have suspected that anything was amiss.
