Michigan had a very scary start to its Big Ten tournament road trip when its plane skidded off the runway due to high winds.

Our team and everyone in our travel party is safe. Update on today's travel accident.

On Wednesday morning, the National Weather Service issued a warning for southeastern Michigan that included:

Sustained winds of 35 to 40 mph with gusts of 45 to near 60 mph are ongoing.

Further intensification of winds is anticipated over the next several hours. Wind gusts up to 65 mph will be possible at times between Noon and 5 PM local time.

As of Wednesday afternoon, over 400,000 people were without power in the metro Detroit area due to issues like fallen trees. The team is scheduled to play Thursday at noon, and the drive to Washington, D.C., from Ann Arbor is about 9.5 hours. At this point everyone on the Wolverines’ squad would likely rather drive after this situation.

Hopefully they get there safely.
