Dispite what they say, I seriously do believe that The Lake (lake michigan) does have some weird effect on severe weather. Out of all my years (which, granted, hasnt been long) only 3 true storms actually were severe that hit here. every single one of the others either went north or went south.
THose 3 storms all happened in 2003. 2 of them in May, and 1 right around 4th of July.
CE, I dunno if you remember this, but remember around 4th of July 2003, every single night for about 5
nights we got really bad storms?
