I thought it would be useful to walk through how things have really had an uptick in the past five years. First of all, just a couple of stats. The tornado in Union City was the earliest recorded tornado of its size, meaning happening in March, early in the year since 1950. Usually tornadoes hit in the summer and it was the deadliest tornado we've had in the state of Michigan since 1980. And we've had the highest number of tornadoes on record in 2025 since 2001.
