Monster Tornado Slams Portage, Michigan With Large Debris Falling

I live in Kalamazoo. Portage & the area of Kalamazoo closest to Portage were hit by 2 back-to-back tornadoes today. Absolute insanity. So glad there weren’t any fatalities.

I will never forget the green/gray sky. The one I lived through has been 29 years ago, but you never forget that sky.

Have family in Portage and they are OK. My daughter stated there is a lot of damage in the area. No deaths have been reported.

Welcome to Michigan. I live up the road from where this hit. I’ll be busy helping those who have storm damage.

You wouldn’t catch me if I had accidentally drove thru that area and come upon that monster tornado. U turn in opposite direction and pedal to the FLOOR! Terrifying! Hope everyone made it out safely.

As someone that lived in Portage for 8 years before moving to Bangor area, it definitely breaks my heart to see something like this hit that town. My condolences to everyone affected by this storm.

I always hear the weatherman say, "It's raining debris many miles away," and this video actually shows what that is like!

My sister lives in portage and she told me it was like a half mile away from her house and she could hear and feel the roof shaking

Jackson over here! Heard southwest Michigan got hit with over five tornadoes today. Saw one of em was a multivortex! Stay safe! 🌪️

As a citizen of portage, Michigan this storm was insane. It sounded like a train when it hit my house.

Thank you for chasing and posting this video.

This tornado season has been hell.

Thanks for sharing. Have several family members that were in the path along Centre.

How did you know so quickly it was a tornado??? Wow, amazing sir!! Thank you for being a spotter!! And keeping us safe!,

Praying for everyone in portage right now. I’m in Allegan and I’m really worried about the situation there. I remember this storm. 😢

I was in Kalamazoo during the 1980 tornado. I was working in the old State Hospital (children's unit) and sheltered with the patients in a small closet. So I didn't experience much of what was happening but the aftermath was sobering. It took almost an hour to find my way home just a mile away and the tornado had missed my house by blocks. I remember the way the still standing trees looked, denuded if their leaves and smaller branches. And how the utility wires had a lot of their insulation hanging in shreds. My heart goes out to this community after this event. I suspect it will be especially traumatic for those who have lived through both of these storms.

Classic nasty green sky tornado. Wow!

that hit at quitting time for a lot of people a lot of them were just trying to get home.

I don't live in Michigan but it struck me as unusual to have multiple large tornadoes and a tornado emergency all at one time in Michigan. That's something I'd figure for somewhere like Oklahoma or Mississippi.

I was called in while off duty (EMS) to come in for this. It was crazy
