A severe hail storm formed over Lake Michigan and moved onshore in Leelanau County July 8, 2016.

There were official reports of three inch hail in the Glen Arbor area around 11 a.m. July 8, 2016.

Here is a video shot by Pete Kurty at the Homestead in Glen Arbor. You are looking at the Crystal river as it is bombarded by large hail.

Interestingly, this storm took about the same track as the storm that ripped through Glen Arbor last summer with 100 mph winds.

Fortunately this storm was mostly just a large hail producer. There wasn’t any significant wind damage in the Glen Arbor area with the storm today. Wind damage can be more widespread than hail damage.
