Well folks, last night, quite a few areas in Michigan took a pretty big hit from severe thunderstorms and quite a few tornadoes. Two of the tornadoes as far as I know being reported in Allegan County, which is a neighboring County from where I live. Quite a few other tornadoes reported in Carson City, Frankenmuth, St. Charles area, and a few other areas.

While the storm wasn't too bad at my home where I was recording from in Breedsville, we did get some pretty Gusty winds for about a few minutes. Otherwise, it was mostly just rain, thunder, and lightning. That and our power stayed on as well.

These are photos that I took of the clouds as we were about to get hit with a storm. The screenshot was taken not too long after I was made aware that there was a tornado in the Otsego/Plainwell area. I'm not too sure if that's exactly where the tornado crossed the highway, but I was made aware that there were quite a few areas around there that were pretty torn up. I am not 100% sure what all areas around Otsego and Plainwell got hit as that's something I've been trying to figure out as I do plan to try and visit the area this coming weekend as long as work and a few all their things don't get in the way.

I did end up taking quite a few videos of the storm last night. I will try and have them uploaded hopefully later on tonight or tomorrow. It was pretty late when the storm ended up rolling through my area, so I ended up not being able to do some uploading or updates up until today.

I am heavily considering doing a storm documentary on the storm considering there were quite a few tornadoes reported. As far as I'm aware, there were six tornadoes reported in Michigan last night, but I do have a feeling that that number is going to jump up. I do not have all the answers about what is what with this storm, but once I have all the information and I am able to get out and try and record whatever I can as far as the damage goes, then I will put together a storm documentary video. But even then I'll probably hold off for a few weeks.

The Plainwell area is a lot closer to my home than some of the other areas that got hit by tornadoes last month, so driving to Plainwell won't be an issue for me. Eventually, I would like to try and still make it down to Three Rivers and Union City to do a little bit of storm documenting, but that probably won't be until sometime in the summer or fall if I end up doing it.

That being said, I do not believe we are out of the severe thunderstorm threats just yet. From what I heard from Michigan Storm Chasers, Ryan Hall, Y'all, Max Velocity, and a few other people that I follow online, we still have quite a few other severe thunderstorm threats between now and Saturday. Southeast Michigan was hit by a severe thunderstorm earlier today, but most of Michigan was in the clear today. I am not 100% sure we're all the storms are going to hit the next few days, but that is something that I am keeping an eye on. If another thunderstorm ends up coming through my area, whether or not it's severe, I will make sure to record it if I am able to. But if I can't get to it, it's more than likely because I am working.

With all that being said, I will be working on a storm documentary video. It probably won't be uploaded for a few weeks as I want to take my time to make sure I know all the information before I put it together, but it is something that I am considering on doing for my channel. I am also working on another big vlog. I don't know when exactly I'll have that uploaded as I really don't have a whole lot planned, kind of like how I did with my big mid-February to Easter vlog, but it is something that I am working on as well. Most of the Storm videos that I took last night and will be putting in a storm documentary video will also be included in that vlog.

That is my YouTube announcement post for right now. As I stated, I am keeping an eye out for whatever weather maybe coming my way the next few days and any updates from the storm we had last night. Is having a good day or good night, whenever you're reading list. Be safe out there.

Another incoming long post here. Not expecting very many people to read this, but for those who do, enjoy reading this.

First and foremost, I hope everybody had a fantastic weekend to remember. My weekend wasn't too bad, other than the fact that I had to go to a funeral yesterday I didn't record at the funeral because I wasn't sure if it would be respectful to do so or not, so I ended up not doing that. It was a funeral for one of my great-great uncles on my dad's side of the family. It wasn't a super close family member, but it's somebody that I would see once a while. He was a very nice man. His name was William Stegman, but he went as Bill for sure. Has a lot of people that are named William go by Bill. But it is unfortunate that he passed away and he will deeply be missed. Other than that, my weekend wasn't too bad. Yesterday afternoon about a few hours after the funeral, I took my little sister and my nephew out to go get ice cream because my little sister's birthday was on Friday and my nephew's birthday was a little over a week or so ago, so I treated them both for some ice cream at Sherman's ice cream in South Haven, Michigan. One of my favorite places to go get ice cream, other than House of Flavors up in Ludington, Michigan. Then today, I had a family gathering on my dad's side of the family to go to, which went pretty well. I also had a birthday party for my little sister, my two nieces, and my nephew. I did record both of those things, but that is something that I will talk about further down this post.

Second of all, in case if anybody missed my previous shorts video, I did mention that I was going to be putting together a storm documentary video of some storms that I recorded on Friday afternoon of March 6th, 2026 that produced four tornadoes here in Michigan. While obviously I didn't record any of the tornadoes, I recorded one of the storms that produced the four tornadoes. While that storm wasn't too bad where I was recording, the second storm that I recorded while on my way home from work definitely got crazy at times. I unfortunately still haven't made it over to Three Rivers to go and document some of the tornado damage in Three Rivers, which I've been meaning to, but I just haven't had the time or the money to go do so because work had been slow for the past few months and it is finally picking back up. I'm finally starting to make more cash again. I could probably drive down there next weekend if I wanted to, but I don't really want to waste a bunch of money on gas driving there because for one, I'm not too familiar with the town of Three Rivers. I don't know what all is in Three Rivers and which ways to go through that town, other than saying US 131 or Michigan 66 Highway. If I had family in Three Rivers or friends, that'd be one thing. But the only time I ever pass through Three Rivers is if I'm either passing through there to head over to Coldwater, Bronson, Sturgis, or somewhere in Indiana. If I ever do have a chance to go down to Three Rivers for anything, I will be sure to record whatever damage that I do see if there is still any in the near future, but I'm not guaranteeing anything. As far as I know, I have no plans to pass through Three Rivers anytime soon, unless if something comes up.

So as far as putting the storm documentary together of the storms I recorded and the tornado damage, I'm probably just going to go with the footage that my stepmom and my little sister sent me when they were heading to and from Coldwater/Bronson area for an auction right after the tornado was passed through. I will try and show whatever I can when I go to put the storm documentary video together, but I also want to try and be cautious of what I do as I don't want to go and take somebody else's video or go in take somebody else's photo or anything like that, unless if it is mentioned in an article or some big post that's been reposted multiple times. But I want to try and be respectful to those who originally took the photos and videos. As I understand, there's a lot of YouTube creators out there, especially a lot of the the storm chasers on YouTube, that are strict about people using their stuff. I will try and have the storm documentary video put together sometime this coming week and I plan to try and have it uploaded hopefully by Saturday if possible, depending on how my week goes because work has been kicking my butt quite a bit recently and half the time when I get home and I do a bunch of speaking on video, I have a bad habit of losing my train of thought. But I'll try and see what I can do.

Second of all, there's definitely been talk from a lot of people on YouTube that I follow that talk about weather, such as Michigan Storm Chasers, Ryan Hall, y'all, Max Velocity, And quite a few people on YouTube that I follow as far as weather reporting goes that there's supposed to be a bad storm coming through Michigan tomorrow night through early Tuesday morning. I want to try and record whatever I can of that storm, but it really depends on what time it passes through my area. There's been quite a bit of talk that it's supposed to be severe and that there may be tornadoes possible in a few areas, which I'm hoping and praying that tornadoes don't happen, but mother nature does what it wants to do which none of us can control unfortunately. But yeah, there's been quite a bit of talk about some bad storms passing through Michigan and few other areas. But if everything goes as planned, I do plan to try and record it as much as I can if possible.

Last but not least, the next big subject that I want to bring up is that I have been working on a big vlog. I started working on it in mid or late February, and I want to try and have it uploaded sometime in April. I've been kind of stretching this vlog out for quite a bit because there hasn't been a crap ton going on, other than me recording quite a bit of weather, me showing a slideshow of my cousins daughters first birthday, and a few other things. I've been working on the vlog little by little here and there. I took a break from logging in January as I wanted to take some time to give myself a break from stuff like that and just focus on weather, which was mostly snowy weather. The most notable weather videos that I will include in my big vlog. Some snowy weather that I recorded on February 20th, February 22nd, February 28th, and March 16th. My big vlog will also feature a few thunderstorms that I recorded on March 6th and March 10th. There will be quite a few other things that are featured in that vlog, but I'm not going to go down that list.

With all that being said, I apologize for the super long post, but I wanted to put this out there to kind of update my subscribers that watch my videos or anybody else who may stumble across my channel and see a video or two from me that I uploaded.

These photos that are included in this post are sneak peek photos from the big vlog that I am working on.

Hope you all have a fantastic week ahead of you. God bless you all and be safe out there.

Gotta love when someone backs into your wood stack and you gotta be the one responsible for stacking it back up.
