Tornadoes of 2011 (Layten's recreation)

January 4 - 5
A winterstorm formed over the Great Lakes, allowing for instability to build up along its triple point. An EF2 tornado hit near Detroit, Michigan, and 8 other tornadoes were also confirmed during the outbreak. No one was killed, but $22 million was done in damages, $19 million by the Detroit tornado alone.
