Tornado hits Michigan, killing toddler, while Ohio and Maryland storms injure at least 13

Tornado-spawning storms tearing across the eastern U.S. overnight killed a toddler in Michigan and injured five people in Maryland and eight more in Ohio. The toddler was killed and his mother was injured when a tornado struck suburban Detroit without warning. Officials say the tornado tore through several neighborhoods Wednesday — and there was no advance notice that would have normally led to the activation of warning sirens. Meanwhile, in Maryland, at least five people were injured when a tornado collapsed structures there. And early Thursday, a suspected tornado in Ohio ripped away a gas station canopy and damaged a restaurant and a store. An official says eight people were left with minor injuries, mostly from flying debris.
