## Resource

A powerful tornado slammed into Detroit’s east side, leveling homes, toppling trees, and leaving hundreds of thousands without power—prompting Mayor Mary Sheffield to declare a local state of emergency. The storm, confirmed by the National Weather Service, caused concentrated damage in a small zone bordered by Sylvester Street, East Jefferson, Chene, and McClellan. It’s been 33 years since Detroit last faced a tornado—last one in ’97—and this rare event underscores the city’s resilience as it begins recovery with DTE working around the clock to restore power by Sunday.
