Harvard Shore Drive in St. Clair Shores was hit particularly hard. Residents said the storm that moved through the area was quick, lasting only a few minutes, but powerful.

“It was pretty wild. It was raining really hard and the rain was picking up, and heard a long bang, and I thought it ws thunder. It happened to be the tree,” resident Ron Pleva said. “It had to be a hellacious wind because that tree is pretty old.”

Pleva said the large tree that was toppled was around 60 years old.
