Summary
On March 14, 2026, the Peaine Township supervisor warned Beaver Island residents to prepare for a significant winter storm forecast to affect both townships through Sunday and Monday. Peaine Township Hall was designated as a warming station from 3 p.m. Saturday until primary roads were accessible and potential power outages were restored. The notice also coordinated public expectations around county road clearing, township maintenance, contractors, and emergency access.
Evidence limits
The township notice establishes the warning and planned warming-station availability. It does not establish how severe the storm was, whether the warming station was used, or when all roads and power were restored.
