Tornado hits northeastern Gladwin County

This warning was put out because the “showers” over the area were showing signs of rotation despite the lack of thunder and lightning. As this system continued its track East into Gladwin county, it showed signs of enhanced rotation. This prompted a tornado warning for Gladwin county that would be in effect until 4:30pm.
