A funnel developed beneath a strong thunderstorm over the north portion of Houghton Lake, touching down several hundred feet offshore and moving onshore as a waterspout at 1747 EDT. Three pontoon boats were flipped and badly damaged and several docks were damaged or destroyed. Now a tornado, it continued onshore doing widespread tree damage in a 150-foot wide swath, with approximately 20 large pines and hardwoods uprooted or snapped off. Minor structural damage occurred to four or five cottages and homes, mainly from trees and flying debris. Continuing a northwest path, the tornado skipped and caused more tree damage as it moved across the north end of Long Point. As the tornado again approached the water, it touched down strongly at 1750 EDT, again doing widespread tree and minor structural damage to approximately 40 trees and six to eight homes and cottages. Six more pontoon boats and several docks were damaged or destroyed as the feature moved offshore as a waterspout, which continued northwest across Houghton Lake's North Bay for nearly two miles before dissipating near the lake outflow into the Muskegon River.
