Story says straight line winds and one dead... Is there a newer link?

I do not know if NWS has sent anyone out to the area, several funnels filmed in the Detroit Metro area. This video of the camp ground could be a straight line event not enough of the area shown. The reports were also conflicting on the number of fatalities.

Chilled at home most the day and was actually in church when the worst storms went through. Played in the backyard with the camera a bit as the last round passed through. A quick little tidbit and a few pictures up on my blog located here: http://chip-redmond.blogspot.com.

If you do actually take a gander at my blog, any good recommendations on removing the diagonal lines created by photoshops automatic panorama maker in the first image? It has been driving me crazy... shoot me a pm or something!
