MICHIGAN, United States (AP) — The remnants of Tropical Storm Cristobal were moving out of the Midwest and into Canada yesterday, with gusty winds and heavy rain leaving behind flooding in Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Iowa.
High winds brought down trees and left thousands without power in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Nebraska.
The city of Holland along Lake Michigan activated storm warning sirens as winds reached speeds of 70 mph, according to the county's emergency management office.
Also in western Michigan, Hopkins Village President Terry Weik was taking down flower baskets from his porch Tuesday when the tree in front of his home started to fall toward him, WOOD-TV reported.
The weather service issued a gale warning through yesterday evening on Lake Michigan because of the possibility of strong winds creating waves of 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3.1 metres).
