Tornadoes that hit Michigan on Tuesday evening ripped the roof off a FedEx building in Portage, partially collapsing the structure and trapping 50 people inside, Kalamazoo county authorities said. Elsewhere in the state, thousands of residents were without power and faced a deluge of hail and tornado warnings amid severe thunderstorms.
“TAKE COVER NOW,” the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids warned in a post directed at Portage residents on its Facebook page.
