Michigan March brought tornadoes, snow, and ice, sometimes all at once. Ice on our tower is a reminder that MPSCS stays ready through it all. Severe weather awareness matters, but we’re definitely ready to trade forecasts for sunshine. Warm weather can show up anytime now.

🌪️Today is the day for the voluntary Statewide Tornado Drill🌪️ As part of #SevereWeatherAwarenessWeek, Michiganders are encouraged to take a few minutes today to practice what to do when a tornado warning is issued in your area. Know where to go, how you’ll get alerts, and practice your plan so you’re ready when it matters most. Find more tips in the comments section. @MichStatePolice | #mitornadodrill | #MiReady
