Guess I somehow snoozed on the F4 in '77 - strange. IWX: The Union City, MI preliminary EF3 tornado with max wind speeds of 160 mph is the earliest EF3+ tornado in the calendar year for Michigan. The previous earliest was an EF3 that struck north of Ann Arbor, MI on March 15, 2012. Before March 6th, 2026, the most recent EF3 in Michigan was the Gaylord, MI EF3 tornado which occurred on May 20, 2022 and had wind speeds of up to 150 mph. The Union City, MI EF-3 is the strongest tornado to occur in Michigan since an F4 struck Kalamazoo and Eaton Counties on April 2, 1977.
