I've been watching pictures on FB being posted by people in Michigan that make me ask...What weather event causes this?

Yeah the remnants blew through here about two hours ago. Looked worse than it was here thank goodness. I think that's what they call a shelf cloud and the green is hail apparently. Sharp cold front. I believe we had a tornado out near Lake Huron. Crazy weather.

I follow a storm chaser here on Twitter. SW Ontario gets hammered in July August. As does Michigan.. :)

Several lightning strikes, probablly some to tall trees on the hills surrounding our house, lots of thunder and tons of rain.
Maybe you'll relate to this.
I loved a good thunder storm in Michigan when the air smelled so amazing and everything was so green after it finished.
After moving to the mountains, thunder/lightening storms have a different impact and it often brings fear of lightening strike fires.

I know lightening strikes can cause fires in Michigan, but nothing like the fires we see out here. (heck the farm house I lived in had lightening rods on the roof.

I miss a good Michigan thunder storm.
