| Well, Lansing has been undergoing our first severe weather event since August of last year. At about 12:30 PM EDT, a line of thunderstorms began developing just to the southwest of Lansing, and moved through the area around 1:20 PM EDT. This clip includes: -12:38 PM EDT LF with a Special Weather Alert issued on the same storm in its 'early days'. The song here is "Cuban Coffee" by CC Gilmore. -The pop-up of the first severe weather crawl here since August 2008. -1:18 PM EDT LF and Severe Weather Coverage following the LF. Includes the Severe Thunderstorm Warning crawl and "Flying West" by Chris Geith. -1:30 PM EDT coverage of the severe weather today. Notice how I trimmed these videos to get the crawl to appear continuous :P This storm did bring strong winds and intense rainfall. Jackson, just 30 miles to my south, reported a 61 mph wind gust at Reynolds Field. Power was knocked out to a few select areas in Lansing. Several traffic lights were knocked out. Enjoy! |
