0541 PM     Tornado          1 S Centreville         41.91N 85.53W
05/07/2024                   St. Joseph         MI   NWS Storm Survey 

            A tornado touched down in St. Joseph county 
            on the south side of Centreville and then 
            tracked northeast, passing north of Colon, 
            crossing into Branch county near Havens and 
            Goodrich Lake. The tornado finally weakened 
            and lifted south of Union Lake. Extensive 
            damage occurred to trees and center pivot 
            irrigation systems along the track with the 
            most significant damage occurring from north 
            of Colon to north of Sherwood. Several homes 
            suffered loss of roof and walls, resulting 
            in the area of highest damage consistent 
            with EF2 and estimated winds of 130 mph. 
            Video footage and layout of some tree damage 
            confirms this was a multi vortex tornado 
            during its peak intensity. There was 1 
            injury reported near Colon, MI but that 
            person has since been treated at the 
            hospital and released.
