Overview
- The city deployed 13 teams on a two-day, door-to-door sweep to log storm damage across thousands of homes and businesses.
- The findings will be used to see if losses meet state and federal thresholds for disaster reimbursement, which is not guaranteed.
- Workers in city vests and badges are photographing exteriors and asking brief questions, and they are not entering homes or requesting money.
- Crews report the west side near Veterans Memorial Park took the heaviest hit, with a collapsed wall at the city ice arena and damage at the University of Michigan’s Yost Ice Arena, as debris clearing and temporary repairs continue.
- Local reporters note this is Ann Arbor’s first tornado since 1988, which was also rated EF-1.
