MARTIN, Mich. — This morning we're seeing extensive damage after storms Thursday night.

Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig says the Martin area is one of several in West Michigan that showed radar that could indicate a tornado. Crews with the National Weather Service will have to assess the area to confirm if a tornado touched down.
