At least two people are dead and more than 40 have been injured in a powerful tornado that ripped through northern Michigan Friday night.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency for Otsego County, where the tornado tore through the city of Gaylord, ripping off roofs and flipping cars, according to CNN.

“We are making available all state resources in cooperation with local response and recovery efforts,” Whitmer said during a Friday night news conference.

On Twitter, the governor also said the state would “do what it takes to rebuild,” and thanked first responders.

“My heart goes out to the families and small businesses impacted by the tornado and severe weather in Gaylord. To the entire Gaylord community—Michigan is with you. We will do what it takes to rebuild,” Whitmer said. “[Michigan State Police] and other first responders are on site to assist residents. We’re grateful to the police officers, firefighters, EMTs, utility workers, and so many others responding on the ground.”
