[FONT="]I started my day early around 1630z.
The first storm popped up just to my south east near Hastings, MI. I decided to head out after it. As i neared the base it was of course elevated. The anvil looked nice but not nice enough to take any pictures. I then Had to make a decision. To stop going after this one and head back west to see what the cell was going to do over Lake MI. So I head to the lake and get down to South Haven, and find an area to park briefly over looking the lake. For some odd reason the picture is junky but its the only one i took.

My Wife and I moved inland east of South Haven. Just a few shots.
I Though the farm equipment was a descent fore ground
[FONT="]Then i observe and inflow band which i wish was a tornado or at least rotating but it wasn’t. [/FONT]
And just another picture of the outflow dominant storm
[FONT="]We then headed to 131 and headed north from Otsego. We paralleled the gust front all the to Grand Rapids. We stopped and ate supper at the Panera in Kentwood. Pea size hail and at least 45mph winds. It was severe warned. I get home a half hour after that and see a tornado reported 20 minutes east of me. This storm was so outflow that I am suspicious but I won't discount fully.[/FONT]
