A powerful tornado killed one person Friday as it ripped roofs off buildings and flipped cars in a northern Michigan town, prompting the governor to declare a state of emergency for the area.
The twister also injured more than 40 people as it tore through the town of Gaylord, which sits about 60 miles east of Traverse City in the state's Lower Peninsula, causing what officials describe as "catastrophic" damages.
"It took out an insane amount of buildings and just jeopardized so many lives," said Jordan Awrey, a Gaylord city council member. "The town is devastated."
