At least six dead after tornadoes sweep across Michigan and Oklahoma, officials say

Severe storms and tornadoes swept across parts of the US on Friday, killing at least six people in Michigan and Oklahoma. Four deaths occurred in southern Michigan, with three near Union City and one in Cass County, along with multiple injuries and widespread damage to homes and infrastructure. Two deaths were reported in Beggs, Oklahoma, after a tornado cut a 4-mile path of destruction. The storms uprooted trees, downed power lines, and damaged buildings, leaving hundreds without power. State emergencies were declared in both Michigan and Oklahoma to facilitate rescue and recovery efforts. The National Weather Service warned of continued severe weather, including thunderstorms and flash flooding, across the Great Plains and Texas into the weekend.

Powerful storms, including at least one suspected tornado, swept through Michigan on Friday, resulting in four fatalities. The storms caused significant damage in areas like Three Rivers, where a Menard's store was impacted. A resident near Union City filmed what appeared to be a tornado tearing through buildings. The severe weather system is also affecting other states, with a powerful storm in Oklahoma being investigated as a possible tornado. Millions of Americans are under threat from severe weather.

A tornado struck Union City, a town in southern Michigan about 125 miles west of Detroit, on Friday, killing three people and hospitalizing three others. The storm, part of a larger system of powerful storms across Michigan and North Texas, caused widespread damage, including tearing the roof off a home improvement store and downing trees. Authorities reported 12 injuries in Branch County and urged residents in St. Joseph County to seek shelter due to confirmed tornado sightings and high winds. The Michigan state police warned of power outages, road closures, and communication disruptions. In Oklahoma, a separate storm resulted in the deaths of a woman and her daughter in a car crash that appeared to be tornado-related.
