From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Violent thunderstorms and tornadoes ripped across the state’s southeast, flooding streets, flipping cars and causing at least one death, according to officials. In Holly, about 25 miles south of Flint, one person was reported dead after a tornado struck the Chateau Oak Hills Mobile Home Park, said WWJ-Radio. Colleen Prosyniuk, a spokeswoman for the Oakland County Emergency Management Department, said she could not confirm the death, but said there were reports of heavy damage and several injuries from the scene. The series of fast-moving storms smacked into the greater Detroit metropolitan area shortly before rush hour.
