Overview

  • An isolated supercell on Sept. 22 produced three separate tornadoes along a short corridor from west of Traverse City to Torch Lake and Bellaire, the National Weather Service confirmed.
  • The first touchdown occurred near Lake Ann around 4:50 p.m. and was rated EF‑U based on video evidence, with a brief 500‑foot path and a 30‑foot width.
  • A second tornado crossed Torch Lake as a tornadic waterspout and moved onshore east of the lake, earning an EF‑0 rating with peak winds near 75 mph and a path of roughly 750 feet.
  • The strongest tornado touched down in Bellaire just after 6 p.m., rated EF‑1 with estimated peak winds near 90 mph, traveling about 0.85 miles and producing spotty tree damage.
  • NWS issued a tornado warning for central Antrim County at 5:57 p.m. after radar indicated rotation, and the three confirmations lift Michigan’s 2025 tornado count to 33, with 39 as the 1974 record.
