0541 PM Tornado 1 S Centreville 41.91N 85.53W
05/07/2024 St. Joseph MI NWS Storm Survey
A tornado touched down in St. Joseph county
on the south side of Centreville and then
tracked northeast, passing north of Colon,
crossing into Branch county near Havens and
Goodrich Lake. The tornado finally weakened
and lifted south of Union Lake. Extensive
damage occurred to trees and center pivot
irrigation systems along the track with the
most significant damage occurring from north
of Colon to north of Sherwood. Several homes
suffered loss of roof and walls, resulting
in the area of highest damage consistent
with EF2 and estimated winds of 130 mph.
Video footage and layout of some tree damage
confirms this was a multi vortex tornado
during its peak intensity. There was 1
injury reported near Colon, MI but that
person has since been treated at the
hospital and released.
