   Sounds like you got into some of the weather than Michigan's upper lower   
   peninsula got.  There were areas that they were reporting were 100% without   
   power.  Meanwhile, the lower part of the state was getting tornadoes and   
   wind damage.  At one point, I think the freezing rain warning was only   
   separated from a tornado or thunderstorm warning by one county.

   That is a big event, especially when you consider that the area includes   
   portions of sparse population.

   Same here.  It is usually an hour or two so I also talk myself out of it. ;)
