The Blizzard of 1978 killed more than 20 people statewide and left thousands of residents without power or stranded on snow-clogged roads. The National Guard had to help police reach motorists. Snow began falling on parts of the Lower Peninsula very late on January 25th. About 18 inches had fallen in some places within a couple of days. Winds were blowing at up to 60 miles per hour. A state of emergency was declared for much of Michigan. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/dtx/stories/blizzard1978.php http://www.ohiohistory.org/etcetera/exhibits/swio.pages/content/1978_blizzard.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Blizzard_of_1978 Palm Sunday 1965 The Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak occurred on April 11th, 1965 with the violent storms tearing through much of the Southern Great Lakes Region and Northern Ohio Valley. The worst hit states were Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. It is the second biggest tornado outbreak on record; 47 confirmed tornadoes resulted in 271 people killed and 3,400 people injured in just a twelve hour span. Damages from the storms mounted to more than 200 million dollars (1.1 billion/2003 dollars). This write-up is mainly from a Southeast Lower Michigan perspective with some data taken directly from the NWS Storm Data files. http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2005/s2418.htm http://www.crh.noaa.gov/iwx/program_areas/events/historical/palmsunday1965/index.php http://users.tc3net.com/postcarddc/front%20page.html Local News Stories http://hillsdale.net/stories/041105/new_history.shtml http://hillsdale.net/stories/032603/new_springstorms03.shtml
