TRENARY, MI— The size of a tornado spotted in Delta County Tuesday has been confirmed.
The National Weather Service says a thunderstorm that formed in southern Marquette County continued to develop into a supercell thunderstorm as it moved east into Delta and Alger counties. As the thunderstorm began splitting, the southern segment intensified and produced a weak EF-0 tornado south of Trenary.
The tornado crossed Alger Delta 43rd Road and headed northeast before dissipating.
The estimated peak wind of the twister was 85 mph. It was 25 yards wide and cut a path about 0.6 miles long.
The Alger County Sheriff’s Office used drone footage to assist in data collection.
