OVID TOWNSHIP, MI (WTVB) – Tuesday night storms that prompted the National Weather Service (NWS) to issue a pair of tornado warnings for Branch County in the early hours of Wednesday morning left their mark in Ovid Towshhip.
A handful of homes were damaged early this morning on South Angola Road and as well as part of the roof being blown off of a grain bid dryer.
Carleton Equipment at 461 E Fenn Rd. had a roof cave in on a pole barn when the sides of the building began to buckle.
So far, there have been no reported injuries and no word from the NWS if an actual tornado touched down briefly or if the damage may have been caused by straight line winds. At its peak, over 1,000 Consumers Energy customers were without power.
Both tornado warnings were radar indicated and did show some rotation in the area when the damage occurred around 1:30 a.m.
The NWS does say another round of severe weather is possible Wednesday night with gusty winds, large hail, heavy rains and a potential isolated tornado all possible.
