A rare northern Michigan tornado tore through a small community on Friday, killing at least one person and injuring more than 40 others as it flipped vehicles, tore roofs from buildings, and downed trees and power lines. The twister hit Gaylord, a city of about 4,200 people roughly 230 miles northwest of Detroit, at around 3:45 p.m. Mike Klepadlo, who owns the car repair shop Alter-Start North, said he and his workers took cover in a bathroom. When they left the cooler about 15 minutes later and stepped outside, they saw "some of our cars in pieces and insulation all over the ground," Goddard said. "I've never seen anything like this in my life," Mayor Todd Sharrard said. "Many kids and young adults would have never experienced any direct severe weather if they had lived in Gaylord their entire lives," he said.
