Severe weather struck Metro Detroit, with the National Weather Service confirming three tornadoes in Southeast Michigan. An EF-0 tornado hit Lincoln Park, causing significant damage to Fort Street but sparing the nearby First Baptist Church. In Detroit, an EF-2 tornado devastated homes and businesses, yet the New Liberty Baptist Church only lost power. Pastor Maurice Stimage expressed the community’s shock and commitment to recovery. DTE Energy reported that 450,000 customers were affected, with 10,687 still without power as of Sunday night. The company deployed 4,000 workers to restore electricity and urged caution during cleanup efforts. Power was expected to be fully restored by the end of Sunday.
