Storm hammers Grand Haven; 1 killed by fallen tree

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (WOOD) — A 72-year-old man was killed when severe storms swept through Grand Haven overnight.

The Grand Haven man was killed when a large tree fell on his home in the Highland Park neighborhood’s Poplar Ridge, according to Grand Haven Public Safety Director Jeff Hawke.

Neighbors say the man was still in bed when it happened.

“(It’s) just unreal. We’ve never had anything like this happen within Highland Park,” the neighborhood president said. “The residents have been pulling close together to support the resident that was lost and his wife and family.”
