The Dexter tornado was officially rated an EF-3.
That is the first EF-3 [[or stronger) tornado to hit Metro Detroit [[I'm defining that as Monroe, Lenawee, Washtenaw, Wayne, Livingston, Oakland, Macomb, and St. Clair Counties) since an F3 hit Novi during the early afternoon of September 14, 1990.
In comparison, the tornado many Detroiters recall that hit Hamtramck/Detroit/Highland Park on July 2, 1997 was "only" an F2.
Quite a storm yesterday.
