Tornado

Nick had a rest day on Tuesday last week so we headed about a half hour drive out of town to Hudson Mills Metropark. All around Ann Arbor there are State parks and Metroparks which are big parks and reserves that have trails for walking, running and biking and some have beautiful lakes and even playgrounds. For a small charge you can enter and spend the day. Hudson Mills Metropark is just outside of a small town called Dexter which was hit recently by a tornado. We went into Dexter and saw some of the damage which was pretty amazing.

The carwash

Have a look at this news report about the tornado and the above is 'the carwash' mentioned.


Remember how Bella discovered that all the houses here have basements? Well this is partly to do with the risk of tornados. The basement is where you can go to be safe if a tornado hits. We have heard that Ann Arbor is not prone to tornados because of the geography of the area. It is hilly and that does not make for good tornados apparently. Good to know.
