On March 20, 1976, an exceptionally violent tornado struck the Metro Detroit suburbs of West Bloomfield and Farmington Hills. Rated as an F4 on the Fujita Scale, the tornado touched down in Farmington Hills at 7:15 p.m. near Halsted Road between 13 and 14 Mile Roads, along a sharp cold front crossing Michigan. The tornado cut a path four miles long and 350 yards wide across Oakland County before dissipating near Maple Road between Middlebelt and Inkster Roads. The tornado killed one, injured 55 and produced $50 million in damage.[2] As of 2024, this is the last tornado stronger than an F3/EF3 to strike the Metro Detroit area.
