Video begins heading west bound on 84th street in/and west of Byron Center, Michigan. The mesocyclone was very low, grungy, and predominantly rain-wrapped throughout the life-cycle as it passed in front of/nearly overhead of the videographer. Rotating rain bands were observed, but no condensation funnel ever took shape at this location. Imagery then jumps to Wyoming Michigan, specifically damage in/around Pinery Park north of 28th street in Kent County. Numerous trees were snapped off, laying northwest (predominantly), with wide-spread power outages. Minimal structural damage was observed in this location.
