CN L507 and Tornado Warnings?
Author: bath_wildcat

Royal Oak, MI
65 degrees-Tornado Warning
April 4th, 2026

YEs you all heard that right.  Royal Oak, Detroit, and Monroe, MI all were under Tornado Warnings.  But before that this-

Took a drive to downtown Royal Oak, sat in the parking garage about an hour while waiting on a northbound that was lined through.  Turned out to be L507 with the same power as before-CN 5304 and CN 2325 trailing.  This time I was trying to frame the picture between trees however once I lefrt I was watching the sky.  The wife sent me a tornado warning down by Romulus, MI.  The wife and I were talking about it and sure enough Royal Oak went under a Tornado Warning, however it was literally over before it even began. Yes the wife and I are safe, she was the lookout, and literally nothing happend. 

Thats all for today. Its raining, about to get darn cold, and im typing this while the wife nags me to put food away. Go Figure!

There was a touchdown from the warning down near Romulus. EF1 as I understand it. Don't know if it caught the NS line or not.
