Gustnado and straight-line wind (Fowlerville, MI 29 May 2011)

It could be a small tornado, but it's more likely a gustnado considering it formed on the edge of a hefty gust front. Large trees were toppled over just south of where this video was taken. One small EF-1 tornado was confirmed in Perry northwest of here along the same path.

I live in Waterford and I barely got hit by this storm. EVERY time a storm comes my way, it seems to dissipate around Waterford so I barely get hit with storms like this.

@DeathhsLegacy I know that feeling...that's why I started chasing!

@rawfriez Good call on that. I didn't realize how far from Fowlerville we actually were. We were east / northeast in Oak Grove on Oak Grove Road. There was a lot of tree and property damage just south of where I shot this video.

I live in Fowlerville and this storm was mainly just wind. It ripped down huge trees, ruined barns, messed with some houses and bent flag poles! We didn't have power for about 4 days because it ripped through the whole towns power lines. Luckily we just went in our basement, didn't hear a thing and when we came upstairs we could see just how bad the wind was because it took off our barn door and toook down some trees.
