The Path
of Destruction: The Grand Rapids (Michigan) Historical
Society has recently published a book I wrote about a tornado
outbreak that struck western Lower Michigan on April 3, 1956. What
does this have to do with ENTS you ask? Well our own forest
disturbance expert Lee Frelich is acknowledged in the book for his
helping me identify several trees that are still living and show the
scars from the F5 tornado that struck near Hudsonville, Michigan on
that day. The background discussion on this can be read here: http://www.nativetreesociety.org/fieldtrips/michigan/1956tornado/forest_disturbance.htm
The book is being advertised off the GRHS website. - Ernie
