I live now in Charlevoix County. Living on Lake Michigan moderates the weather by cooling the hot air that goes on to form tornadoes. It also, being a giant heat-sink,keeps us warmer in the winter,and cooler in the summer.
Down in Berrian County,you get the nasty weather from the plains that causes all the devastation in that region.
The worst storm I’ve ever been in was just south of the Berrian County line while I was on my way home from Indianapolis. I’ll never forget that one.
I live in Tampa FL. No bad weather here, just sunny weather and pretty girls on the beaches. Cmon down.
