Severe Thunderstorms in Michigan - 12/23

Update 7:25 AM EST
Warnings have expired/been cancelled. The highest gusts I encountered were in the 40mph range, however, there were some transformers down in downtown Lansing with scattered power outages. I also encountered some tree trash.

Nothing exciting, but this is December. There's still snow on the ground in places.

Here are a couple of the higher measured gusts:
Grand Rapids 71MPH
Grand Rapids 64MPH
Lansing 56MPH
Muskegon 78MPH
Kalamazoo 67MPH
Grand Haven 65MPH
Greenville 71MPH
Battle Creek 56MPH
South Haven 63MPH

The highest measured gust from this was in Metz, IN near the MI/IN/OH border of measured 83MPH at 6am EST.

The weather in Lower Michigan has changed drastically since this morning. The official temperature at 6 am in Lansing was 48.9F. As of 3pm it's 21.9 with wind gusts of 40 mph from the SW, giving a Windchill of 4 degrees.
