Comment:
A strong thunderstorm with high winds and heavy rain hit KBS on June 13, 2015 around 7:30-8:00 p.m. A tornado warning was issued for the Hickory Corners, MI area. The strong storm damaged some of the LTER main site poplar trees. The damaged was mostly from the wind snapping the tops of the trees off. Not sure what percent of the trees were damaged I would say around ~ 10-20% of the trees were damaged. No GLBRC trees were damaged by the storm because the trees were so small that the wind did not break them off. The trees just bent over and came back up after the storm.
