Tornadoes touch down in Michigan

Residents of Dexter, Mich., picked through rubble, cleaning up after a tornado that raced through the area, destroying dozens of homes. In Kentucky, officials said seven people were injured when the roof of a Barbourville business partly collapsed because of heavy rains. No injuries or deaths were reported in the Dexter-area tornado Thursday, Washtenaw County Emergency Management Director Marc Breckenridge said. Officials with the county sheriff\'s office said 105 homes were significantly damaged and 13 were destroyed by the tornado, WHMI-FM in Howell reported. WLSN-TV, Lansing, reported at least 50 homes were destroyed. \"I listened to it all come down. I could hear ripping, hitting and falling,\" Dexter resident Jennifer Lawrence told the Detroit Free Press. \"I texted my husband, \'We\'re getting hit.\' \" Dexter schools canceled classes Friday. Residents of Monroe County in Michigan saw six confirmed funnel clouds touch down in several locations, said Mark Hammond, the director of the county\'s Emergency Management Division. Officials in Barboursville, southeast of Lexington, said the drainage system of a manufacturing facility was clogged, causing water to pool on the roof and leading to a partial collapse Thursday, Kentucky Emergency Management spokesman Buddy Rogers told CNN. Seven people were hurt and three were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Rogers said. Record-breaking temperatures for this time of the year in the Chicago area were forecast to go into next week, the Chicago Tribune reported. Thursday\'s high of 81 at the official recording station at O\'Hare International Airport broke the previous high of 74, set in 1995.
