What happened

The episode as NWS DTX wrote it up.

A cold front moved east across Wisconsin on the evening of June 1st. Thunderstorms developed ahead of the front in southern Wisconsin, and moved east, reaching southeast Michigan soon after midnight EDT. One of these storms managed to produce golfball sized hail in Otter Lake. For the most part, though, these storms were wind producers. Trees were downed in Durand, Cohoctah, Fenton, Hartland, and Metamora. A 61 mph wind gust was measured at the National Weather Service Office in White Lake.
