As strong winds persisted in southeast Michigan, Ford's world headquarters felt Mother Nature's wrath when one of its large logos was ripped off of the building.
The Associated Press reports winds took down the sign sometime Wednesday night, March 1, and that the Dearborn-based automaker plans to restore the sign as soon as possible. No injuries were reported.
Winds gusts in the Detroit area reached levels as high as 50 mph Wednesday night, but did not strike down any of Ford's other large building logos.
This string of windy weather comes on the heels of a severe weather system tracking across the Midwest. While nowhere near Ford's Dearborn headquarters, three confirmed tornadoes touched down in Michigan Tuesday night.
MLive meteorologist Mark Torregrossa said the tornadoes touched down between 8:54 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. Tuesday. All three were rated by the National Weather Service as EF-1 tornadoes.
The first touched down in Niles, the second near Dowagiac and the third in Vandalia.
"It is very strange for one tornado in February in Michigan. Three tornadoes touching down in February is incredible," Torregrossa reports.
