I attended Ealy Elementary from 1966 to 1968. Great memories. I lived in Old Farm and watched the school being built.

You people are disgusting

I'm surprised his favorite movie wasn't the three little PIGS 🐗

How far do you have to live from a school to get a bus in West bloomfield ? Like West Bloomfield to Detroit

I attended Ealy for 1/2 of second grade through fifth grade. Mostly great memories. Jeff Weinstein, Dan Bayer and Andy Brenner were amazing friends. Heather Earl was so hot and I’m still mad that her family moved to Ohio after fourth grade.

My grandmother was working at a laundromat near Walled Lake during this tornado. I think she said something about the building being severely damaged, but the clothes she had been folding were still in a neat pile.

WOW!! A F4 THAT IS SUPER RARE AND VIOLENT!!😱😧

:)

I attended Ealy Elementary when it first opened - was that 1966? I went to 4th, 5th, and 6th grade there, enjoying the sunken kiva and the sunken library. I've always wondered about the kiva - did it remain in use as it was originally built?

You might be reading this and know who I am

I lived in Deerfield Village, Maple and Middlebelt. I was babysitting Neighbor’s when the power went out. Scary now.

john scott was a pig

Miss this school, went here in the 4th & 5th grades from 1988-1990

200mph is an EF5 260mph 320mph was considered an F5 back in the day.

My dad is in the video🤣

There is a church in Farmington, on the top of the hill, it had a basement with a tunnel walkway that led to the bottom of the hill to the creek. Across the creek the farm owner was part of the underground system, all the trees along the roadway and the drive to the house had it's lower limbs bent up to the sky. Also had a friend whose farm house was used by the underground. I think his last name was Powell. It was on 13 mile between Drake and Halsted on the south side of the road. The farm house was on a hill, close to the road, it's driveway to the barn and back of the house was east of the drive and came in at basement level. Under the kitchen wing of the house was a walk in stable. The west wall of the stable had verticle wood pillars and stone walls between them. One of the sections of stone wall sections could be rotated. Behind it was a room maybe 10'x8' with a 3' wide bench/bed of stone cut into the side of the wall. The wall section had a wooden peg that could be used to lock the wall in place from the inside.

Wau! It is a beautiful car with future in its gleaming aerodynamic expression.

I was 8 when the tornado hit West Bloomfield and I still remember it. Hearing Mr. Landry talk about the 'green glow'... I remember that shade of green. It's something I've only seen one time since the tornado and will never forget. And Mrs. Zager mentioning how quiet it was... and Mr. Martinez talking about the sound of a train. These are all things I clearly remember from that day. And then the day after.. that was shocking to say the least. We lived in the apartments just north of Maple on Orchard Lake Road. Our little complex was fine but Nicholas Dr was right behind us, and Tamerlane. There were houses that were just gone with nothing but shredded lumber on the ground. I remember the tornado took out a section of Shopping Center Market, but Efros Drugs right next door was fine. Anyway, thank you so much for this.

My family lived about 5-6 miles out of the path of this monster. Where we were, the evening was so genially warm that, despite the relentless overcast, after dinner I went outside to soak in every last bit of the glorious warmth. A fidgety sort, not being disposed to just sit or stand around, I got a basketball out of the garage and was just bouncing it in the back yard, occasionally taking (and usually missing) an idle toss at the hoop. Then, through the utility wires that hung over the driveway and connected to the back of the house, I noticed maybe the strangest cloud activity I've ever seen. I stood there, holding the ball, watching these perfectly circular, transparent gray clouds, racing across the sky underneath the overcast layer. They were going different speeds and they were apparently at different heights over the ground, because they'd pass each other and overlap momentarily, making rapidly changing shades-of-gray Venn diagram patterns overhead. What in tarnation was going on!?! I finally went inside when it was too dark to enjoy playing outside anymore, and it was right after that we heard the first news of a tornado in West Bloomfield. A short scramble ensued because my grandmother lived on 13 Mile Road, but she also seemed unaware that anything so troubling had just taken place.

Love Franklin Cider Mill. It's the best, cider and donuts anywhere! Yum!🥯🥯🥯🥃🥃🥃

Best doughnuts... best cider ever... anywhere! Love these doughnuts they don't have a sugar glaze or cinnamon sugar on them...

Mr Kirkpatrick didnt have the needs of Detroit red on his radar.very sad. Nt

After lifting it touched down many miles northeast, in Lenox Township. Hit my ex-sister-in-laws house on 27 Mile Rd. near North Avenue. They weren't home at the time.

Beautiful Klara! I miss you. I was one of your students in 1996-1998

kasher quon, lets go

Beautiful piece. Well-done.

I live in Seattle now, but grew up in and around Detroit and we went to the Franklin Cider Mill every year! I was so mesmerized by the water wheel. I am so happy it is still going. :-)

I dont live in a state that has a lot of tornados,although the last few yrs its picked up the pace!!but whenever there are thunderstorm warnings i keep my eyes and ears on alert,always a possibility,especially when u have them hot,sticky,calm days

I remember this as a kid because my parents were buying a lot to build our home in Bloomfield Township. It was creepy for a kid.

I❤️cops

Thats a pretty sad civil defense/tornado siren

March 1976 holds the record for most confirmed tornadoes nationwide during the month of March. We had multiple tornadoes on multiple severe days in Indiana that year as well.

F4 on the Fujita scale. EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale.

I remember that night. Being near Cranbrook and Lincoln, Seaholm High School, and hearing on the news about an extremely severe thunderstorm on radar at 654 pm near Halstead and S of 14 mile about 1/2 a mile headed NE at 12-14 mph. At 736 pm, the storm cells energy moved S and the direction of the storm itself changed to the East just North of Knollwood Country Club, then towards the E, in a small arc, however after about 12 minutes, it fissled back up into the clouds east of Inkster between Quarton and Walnut Lake Rd. Then was just still a very severe thunderstorm, curving now ESE towards the Nothern edge of the North Course of Oakland Hills Country Club leaving a trail of straight line wind and hail damage as it continued ESE and came into Birmingham with just wind and heavy rain and the freaky lightning. Then it totally fell apart to the east in Troy, while left over energy from it continued to move NE, with another Tornado, though much smaller, developed in Macomb County near Shelby Charter Township Van Dyke and 22 mi Rd area. Then finally dissipated. Strange how the main thunderstorm with the big F4 tornado moved in a curved arc from NE to E, then SE, dissipating into a severe thunderstorm again, while the main energy moved NE, producing another small F2 tornado. So while the Amin storm cell move SE, that bad energy moved on in a straight line NE. I remember near Lincoln and Cranbrook, closer to Maple the freaky but beautiful lightning and then high winds and some pea sized hail. That was at 742 pm. By 755, it was just a nice mild steady rain and calm. We drove out the next day and could not believe our eyes. Then we heard about th epower of it, and saw a helicopters view of its path and several meteorologists put it all together. Thankfully it did not kill many and lasted only 10-12 minutes, because ha dit kept going, Birmingham was in its sights. It was dark by 715 too, anyway. It was eerily calm before hand too. Being only 10 it was scary. I remember another storm in the early 70's that was intense, saw a few trees go flying by, but never heard of a tornado or anything back then. That was Southfield and Lincoln Rd.

Man relax dude

I was 12 and was home with my 10 year old brother alone. We lived in Franklin Valley subdivision. My older brother came in and told us about the tornado. He had been over that way where it hit. I thought he was playing a joke on me, so I picked up the phone to call my parents, and it was like a party line. The phones weren't working, but if you lived in our sub, you could just pick up the phone and talk to people that saw it, and it was bad. Real bad.

I was living in Pontiac when this happened. The neighborhoods bordered by Middlebelt to the east, Maple (15 mile) to the south and Orchard Lake Road to the west were heavily damaged and the trees were strewn with bedding and insulation. Now I know where all of those tires came from.

Never heard of you tho
