Ya probably heard about the tornado that touched down around Dexter on Thursday. It messed a lot of crap up. I took a tour yesterday through Dexter and all I can say is holy sh1t. My fiance was driving home from work in A2 and was literally a mile away in a parking lot in her car when the tornado came down. She pulled over because golf ball sized hail started falling and she said she thought the car was going to flip over bc of how strong the winds were and actually saw the funnel cloud form and touch down to the ground. I was on Pleasant Lk rd near A2 Saline road when the wind got insane, then about one inch hail started smashing into the side of the work truck. Sounded like the windows were going to break. Trees started falling all over the place and I pulled down a driveway and planned to run into a culvert in the back yard if things got worse. A2 received over 4 inches of rain in about an hour after the tornado came through. Just insane! Thankfully not one fatality or injury.

That's pretty scary. I'm glad no one was hurt. I don't think I've ever seen golf ball size hail or even 1" hail and I hope I never do.

A2 is Ann Arbor ("a" squared). Quite a few people refer to it that way I guess. I end up having to write it down every time I get a new customer. Just use to writing/typing it that way.
