"It's lifting houses! Oh my heart is pounding. Oh, I hope they're OK. Trees were torn from their roots and debris flew into the air as a funnel cloud formed and dropped toward the ground."
Severe thunderstorms spawned multiple tornadoes across southern Michigan on Friday, resulting in four deaths including a 12-year-old boy, with two additional deaths reported in eastern Oklahoma. First responders searched the Union Lake area near Union City for possible victims while clearing debris and flattened homes.
