A tornado killed a 2-year-old boy and injured his mother Wednesday when a tree fell on their house in suburban Detroit.
Several trees slammed into a structure at Rotary Park in Livonia , MIch., Wednesday, June 5, 2024 as a tornado tore through the western Wayne County community.
A massive tree was uprooted and fell onto the family’s house and through the roof, landing on a bed where the woman and her 2-year-old were sleeping, officials said. Crews worked for nearly an hour to remove the roof and parts of the tree and then lift the tree to get the victims out. “This is a terrible tragedy for our community,” Mayor Maureen Miller Brosnan said in the statement. “Our hearts are broken, too, and we send our deepest sympathies.”
The National Weather Service in Detroit confirmed on the social platform X Wednesday night that an EF1 tornado with a peak wind speed of 95 mph moved through Livonia. The agency said the twister traveled a path spanning over 5 miles , uprooting and damaging trees and damaging some houses.
