On the night of May 15, 2025, a dangerous line of severe thunderstorms swept across Michigan, leaving behind a trail of destruction — and this video captures the moment I drove straight into its wrath. Recorded on my dashcam while heading north on Business US-31 out of Muskegon and continuing along northbound US-31, this footage documents what it’s like to navigate one of the most intense weather events Michigan has seen in years — in real time. Meteorologists had warned about the day’s severe weather potential. By evening, a powerful squall line had developed and was racing east across Lake Michigan. This was no ordinary thunderstorm. Wind gusts over 70 mph, hail, and multiple tornado warnings were reported across southern and central Michigan. As the line approached Muskegon County, the radar showed strong bowing segments — classic signatures of straight-line winds and potential embedded tornadoes. There was also incredibly vivid and intense lightning before and during the storm, much of which I was able to capture at Pere Marquette Park in Muskegon (the dashcam did not do a great job capturing it, and I plan to get a GoPro going forward). I had already been monitoring the situation, but nothing quite prepared me for what I encountered once I left Muskegon and entered the teeth of the storm. Within minutes of entering US-31 northbound, sheets of torrential rain began to hammer the windshield. The wipers struggled to keep up, and visibility dropped to just a few feet. Ahead of me, the horizon vanished — swallowed by a wall of wind-driven rain so intense it looked like fog. The road markings quickly disappeared under running water. To keep going, I had to rely on both sight and sound. I activated my hazard lights to be visible to any vehicles behind me. Then, I made a conscious decision to edge slightly over the yellow line — allowing the reflective paint to act as a visual reference, guiding my path like a lifeline in the dark. I intentionally drove over the shoulder rumble strips, using the rhythmic vibration as a form of real-time echolocation. Every buzz of the tires told me I was still on the road, still on course — still safe, at least for the moment. The storm intensified. Wind gusts battered the vehicle, rocking it side to side. I could see the rain being whipped into horizontal streaks, pushed violently by the howling winds. There’s a moment in the footage — roughly halfway through — when visibility drops to nearly zero. You can’t see the lanes. You can’t see the signs. Just darkness, headlights, and cascading walls of rain illuminated by flashes of distant lightning. It feels like driving underwater. You can hear the roar of wind and rain overtaking the vehicle’s own engine. It’s pure sensory overload (I should note that the dashcam can see far better through the sheets of rain than the human eye can). This wasn’t about recklessness or thrill-seeking. It was about documenting what these storms really do — the way they erase the boundaries between land and sky, road and ditch, safe and dangerous. And it was about showing how people adapt in the face of danger — using sound, touch, and instinct when vision fails. Later that night, reports confirmed the scope of the May 15th storms. Trees were down across western Michigan. Power lines were snapped. Some areas near Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, and Battle Creek experienced tornado-warned cells and wind damage consistent with EF1 or EF2 tornadoes. Hail the size of ping-pong balls was reported in Ottawa County. Flash flooding temporarily closed portions of major highways. #derecho The National Weather Service had issued multiple Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and a Tornado Watch across the region. In Muskegon County, where this video was filmed, winds were clocked in excess of 65 mph and rainfall totals approached 2 inches in under 30 minutes. It was one of the hardest-hit areas along the lakeshore during this outbreak. The dashcam footage you’re about to watch is unedited — a raw record of what it’s like to experience the front lines of Midwest weather. Whether you’re a storm chaser, meteorologist, road safety advocate, or simply curious about extreme weather, this video offers a firsthand perspective of the power nature can unleash without warning. Viewer note: This video was filmed with safety in mind. Hazard lights were on at all times, and the vehicle remained on the roadway at reduced speed. At no point was the vehicle stationary in moving lanes. No other cars were endangered during filming.
