Microburst, 110+ mph wind, ridiculous amount of rain.

Summer
Blizzard of '79. Lost in the playground. Didn't know where the school was. Have no idea why those retarded lunch ladies let some of us go outside. I had frost bite from it.
Are you sure that wasn't 1978 or 1977?
The most extensive and very nearly the most severe blizzard in Michigan history raged January 26, 1978 and into part of Friday January 27. About 20 people died as a direct or indirect result of the storm, most due to heart attacks or traffic accidents. At least one person died of exposure in a stranded automobile. Many were hospitalized for exposure, mostly from homes that lost power and heat. About 100,000 cars were abandoned on Michigan highways, most of them in the southeast part of the state.
