COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – For the third time in five days, thunderstorms rumbled through Branch County on Wednesday night.
Outside of some trees getting knocked down, no serious problems were reported following the storms although the National Weather Service issued a special weather statement for northwest Branch County concerning a strong thunderstorm.
The Branch County Road Commission had to be called out to remove the trees.
A National Weather Service observer reported strong thunderstorm winds caused a three foot in diameter oak tree which was half rotted to split the down the middle and block M-86 and Shimmel Road near Centreville.
