On the evening of December 23, 2015, an EF-1 tornado damaged some buildings in Canton near the intersection of Lilley and Joy Road. The National Weather Service Detroit storm report notes that this was the first December tornado in Michigan history. From the report:

This brief tornado developed along a fast moving line of showers that shifted across Southeast Michigan during the evening /5 to 8 pm/.   A Significant Weather Statement /SPS/ was issued at 620 pm, highlighting the potential for wind gusts up to 50 mph.   The brief duration and weak intensity of this tornado made the issuance of a tornado warning nearly impossible, typical of brief spin-ups that are embedded along a fast moving line.   In many cases, such as this one, the tornado touchdown occurs largely between radar scans, leaving little opportunity for advanced warning.
