TO KIM ADAMS FOR THE VERY LATEST
FOR US. KIM TORNADO WARNINGS
THAT WE HAD UP TO OUR NORTH HAVE
NOW EXPIRED, BUT WE DO STILL
HAVE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WARNINGS IN EFFECT IN A COUPLE
AREAS.
>> JUST NOW DROPPED FOR
WASHTENAW AND OAKLAND COUNTY. SO
NO LONGER SEVERE, BUT WE STILL
HAVE ONE UP HERE JUST OUTSIDE
PORT HURON. SO IF YOU’RE IN PORT
HURON OR MARYSVILLE, YOU WILL
HAVE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM HERE
WITHIN THE NEXT 10 TO 15
MINUTES.
>> BUT I WANT TO GO IN A BIT
CLOSER RIGHT HERE ON PARTS OF
FARMINGTON HILLS DOWN TO
LIVONIA.

OAK PARK OR OVER INTO WARREN
HAMTRAMCK AND HARPER WOODS, YOU

NOT SEVERE AGAIN, THE ONLY
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING WE

BACK OUT AGAIN, IS FOR SAINT
CLAIR COUNTY. IT IS IN THE PORT

BIT CLOSER FOR YOU HERE ON THIS
ONE. AND PORT HURON, MARYSVILLE
AND KIMBLE ALL BE ON ALERT.
THERE. YOU WILL HAVE THIS SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM HERE WITHIN THE
NEXT FEW MINUTES, I’LL BE BACK
TO TRACK MORE OF THESE
THUNDERSTORMS COMING UP IN JUST
A COUPLE OF MINUTES.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANKS SO MUCH,
KIM. WE’LL SEE YOU IN A BIT IN
MORE NEWS, MICHIGAN STATE POLICE
ARE INVESTIGATING AFTER LINCOLN
PARK POLICE SHOT A MAN
OVERNIGHT. SO FAR, DETAILS ON
WHAT HAPPENED ARE LIMITED. BUT
WE DO KNOW THERE WAS SOME KIND
OF ALTERCATION BETWEEN A SUSPECT
AND OFFICERS IN THE 1500 BLOCK
OF MARION. HE TRIED TO DRIVE
AWAY AND WAS CAPTURED NEAR I-75.
AND SCHAEFER IN DETROIT. THE
SUSPECT IS HOSPITALIZED BUT IS
EXPECTED TO RECOVER. MSPS
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION SECTION IN
THE SECOND DISTRICT WAS CALLED
IN IN THIS CASE. TONIGHT AT
FIVE, WE WILL HEAR FROM
WITNESSES IN THE AREA ABOUT WHAT
THEY SAW AND WHAT THEY HEARD
LAST NIGHT. BUT WE ALSO HAVE
UPDATED INFORMATION ON A DETROIT
POLICE CHASE ON THE CITY’S EAST
SIDE. IT STARTED AROUND 4 A.M.
WHEN POLICE SAW A DARK GRAY JEEP
WITHOUT A LICENSE PLATE. THEY
THOUGHT IT MATCHED THE
DESCRIPTION OF A VEHICLE WANTED
IN A HOMICIDE. BUT THE CHASE
ENDED AT HURLBUT AND HARPER WHEN
THE JEEP CRASHED INTO SOME
PARKED CARS. THE SUSPECT WAS
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND
ARRESTED FOR FLEEING AND
ELUDING, PLUS POSSESSION OF A
STOLEN VEHICLE. IT TURNS OUT HE
IS NOT WANTED FOR HOMICIDE AT
THIS TIME. BUT THE OTHER CHARGES
ARE PENDING IN WARREN. POLICE
ARE SHOWING OFF DRUGS AND
WEAPONS SEIZED DURING A
NARCOTICS INVESTIGATION. TAKE A
LOOK AT WHAT THEY FOUND.
>> THE POLICE COMMISSIONER SAYS
INVESTIGATORS RECEIVED AN
ANONYMOUS TIP ABOUT A 23 YEAR
OLD ROSEVILLE RESIDENT SELLING
DRUGS OUT OF HIS HOME.
>> THEY GOT A WARRANT AND
ARRESTED THE MAN WHO SURRENDERED
PEACEFULLY YESTERDAY. POLICE ARE
WORKING WITH PROSECUTORS TO
DECIDE IF HE’LL FACE STATE OR
FEDERAL CHARGES IN THIS CASE. WE
COULD HAVE A DECISION ON THAT
NEXT WEEK. WELL, MANY AMERICANS
TRY TO CUT SUGAR FROM THEIR
DIETS BY USING ARTIFICIAL
SWEETENERS LIKE ASPARTAME. WELL,
TODAY, THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION RELEASED A REPORT
SAYING THAT THAT SWEETENER IS A
POSSIBLE CANCER CAUSE. BUT
THERE’S MUCH MORE TO DISCUSS IN
THE FINE PRINT HERE. SO LET’S
BRING IN KIMBERLY GAYLE TO GIVE
US MORE INFORMATION THAT MIGHT
AFFECT OUR DECISIONS ON WHAT TO
EAT AND DRINK HERE. RIGHT. OKAY
KRISTIE, YOU’RE RIGHT. GOOD
AFTERNOON TO YOU. MANY OF US
HAVE ALREADY BEEN TRAINED TO
CHECK FOOD LABELS SO WE KNOW
WHAT WE’RE PUTTING INTO OUR
BODIES.
>> WELL, NOW THE PRESENCE OF
ASPARTAME IS SOMETHING YOU’LL
DEFINITELY WANT TO CONSIDER WHEN
STROLLING THROUGH THE GROCERY
STORE. THE NEXT TIME THE CALORIE
CONTROL COUNCIL ESTIMATES THE
SWEETENER IS FOUND IN ABOUT 6000
PRODUCTS WORLDWIDE, EVERYTHING
FROM DIET SODA TO TOOTHPASTE. A
SEMI-INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE
DETERMINED A POSSIBLE LINK
BETWEEN ASPARTAME AND LIVER
CANCER. BUT SAYS THE SCIENCE IS
NOT CONCLUSIVE LIKE IT IS FOR
OTHER SUBSTANCES, SUCH AS
TOBACCO AND ASBESTOS. MULTIPLE
REGULATORY BODIES HAVE STUDIED
ASPARTAME, INCLUDING THE FOOD
AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, AND
HAVE FOUND IT IS SAFE FOR HUMAN
CONSUMPTION. THE KEY RIGHT NOW
IS TO USE THE SWEETENER WITHIN
CERTAIN GUIDELINES. SO SINCE
1981, THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION HAS RECOMMENDED A
DAILY MAXIMUM OF 40MG OF
ASPARTAME PER 2 POUNDS OF BODY
WEIGHT, SO THAT WOULD ALLOW UP
TO 33 CANS OF DIET SODA FOR A
PERSON WHO WEIGHS ABOUT 184
POUNDS. WELL THE AMERICAN
BEVERAGE GROUP REPRESENTS THE
NONALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE INDUSTRY
AND SAYS, QUOTE, THE FACT THAT
FOOD SAFETY AGENCIES WORLDWIDE,
INCLUDING THE FDA, CONTINUE TO
FIND ASPARTAME SAFE MAKES US
CONFIDENT IN THE SAFETY OF OUR
PRODUCTS, END QUOTE. NOW, SOME
OF YOU MIGHT FIND THE RESEARCH
CONFUSING, AND EXPERTS SAY THERE
ARE LIMITATIONS TO MANY OF THE
STUDIES. SO TONIGHT AT FIVE,
WE’LL HEAR FROM THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION ABOUT WHAT LED TO
ITS DECISION AND ADVICE ON HOW
TO APPROACH PRODUCTS CONTAINING
ASPARTAME. SO WE’LL SEND IT BACK
TO YOU, KRISTIE. ALL RIGHT.
>> THANKS SO MUCH, KIM. WE HAVE
BEEN FOLLOWING WATCHES AND
WARNINGS WITH OUR WEATHER ALL
AFTERNOON LONG. LET’S GET BACK
OVER TO KIM ADAMS FOR THE VERY
LATEST.
>> KIM, WE HAVE SOME NEW
INFORMATION AND IT’S IMPORTANT
INFORMATION. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WARNING JUST ISSUED FOR WAYNE
COUNTY UNTIL 515. BUT I WANT TO
GO IN TIGHT RIGHT HERE ON THIS
CELL, JUST OVER 275 AND JOY
ROAD. IF YOU LIVE ANYWHERE IN
PLYMOUTH, AROUND 275 AND JOY
ROAD THERE ARE SOME SIGNS OF
ROTATION THAT THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE IS SEEING. WE
ARE THERE’S NO TORNADO WARNING
AS OF RIGHT NOW, BUT THIS IS A
STRONG THUNDERSTORM TO 75 AND
JOY ROAD. LET’S GO IN CLOSER
HERE FOR YOU AND SHOW YOU
EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT. THERE’S HAGGERTY. HERE’S
PLYMOUTH, HERE’S MILL STREET
RIGHT IN DOWNTOWN IN PLYMOUTH,
WHICH I KNOW THEY HAVE THEIR
OUTDOOR CONCERT. IF YOU ARE IN
THAT AREA, YOU NEED TO SEEK
SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. 275 JOY
ROAD DOWNTOWN PLYMOUTH. WE’RE
GOING TO TRACK THIS OFF TO THE
EAST, SOUTHEAST WESTLAND, GARDEN
CITY, INKSTER, ALL WITHIN THE
NEXT 15 TO 20 MINUTES, YOU WILL
HAVE THIS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
OVER TOP OF YOU, DEARBORN
HEIGHTS, JUST AFTER THAT,
THERE’S ALSO A CELL IN THE
SOUTHERN PART OF WAYNE COUNTY
OVER INTO THE EASTERN PART OF
WASHTENAW COUNTY. SO THAT’S ALSO
INCLUDED IN THIS SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNING JUST TO THE
SOUTH OF BELLEVILLE AND ALSO TO
THE WEST. SO EAST SOUTHEAST OF
ANN ARBOR. WE’RE WATCHING THIS
AREA RIGHT HERE. ALSO INCLUDED
IN THAT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WARNING. BUT I WANT TO GO BACK
UP RIGHT NOW AND FOCUS ON THIS
RIGHT HERE GOING THROUGH
DOWNTOWN PLYMOUTH. AGAIN,
KELLOGG PARK HAS THEIR OUTDOOR
CONCERTS RIGHT NOW. SO THAT’S
WHY WE WANT TO BE VERY FOCUSED
ON THIS. THERE ARE SOME SIGNS OF
ROTATION, NOT ENOUGH TO WHERE
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS
GOING TO ISSUE YOU. WELL AS OF
RIGHT NOW, NO TORNADO WARNING IN
EFFECT. THIS IS JUST A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNING, BUT IT IS
AN AREA THAT WE ARE WATCHING
VERY, VERY CLOSELY AS IT MOVES
TO THE EAST. SO HEADS UP IF
YOU’RE IN LIVONIA, BECAUSE IT IS
MOVING EAST AT ABOUT 25MPH, HIGH
WINDS, LARGE HAIL, HEAVY RAIN.
SO IF YOU TRAVEL AND YOU’RE
THINKING ABOUT LEAVING WORK
RIGHT NOW, ANYWHERE FROM
PLYMOUTH OVER TO LIVONIA,
ANYWHERE IN WAYNE COUNTIES, JUST
STAY PUT. THIS EXPIRES AT 515.
SO DON’T LEAVE WORK RIGHT NOW.
JUST STAY PUT. BUT WE ARE
FOCUSING OUR ATTENTION ON THAT
ONE CELL RIGHT OVER DOWNTOWN
PLYMOUTH, PARTICULARLY I TO 75.
AND JOY ROAD. I’M GOING TO CHECK
IN REAL QUICK HERE WITH WITH
BRETT. BRETT, IS THERE ANY OTHER
WORD FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE METEOROLOGIST BRETT
KOLLAR, ALSO HERE WITH ME? ANY
WORD ON THIS PARTICULAR CELL AS
FAR AS ROTATION? YOU CAN JUST
TELL ME, EVEN IF IT’S NOT ON.
I’M JUST SAYING IT’S POTENTIALLY
60MPH.
>> AND YOU MENTIONED DIAMETER.
>> OKAY. SO JUST AT OUR SEVERE
LIMITS, WE’VE GOT WIND GUSTS AT
60MPH AND LARGE HAIL IN THIS
AREA RIGHT AROUND 275. THERE’S
HAGGERTY ROAD. HERE’S I 96.
THERE’S NEWBURGH ROAD. SO
HEAVILY TRAVELED AREA DURING A
RUSH HOUR AT 4:00 ON A FRIDAY.
SO IF YOU ARE AT WORK YOU TAKE I
96 THROUGH LIVONIA REDFORD OVER
TO PLYMOUTH NORTHVILLE JUST STAY
PUT RIGHT NOW. THIS IS A VERY
STRONG THUNDERSTORM FORMS WITH
WINDS POSSIBLE UP TO 60MPH. EVEN
IF THERE’S NO ROTATION, 60 MILE
PER HOUR WINDS IS ENOUGH TO DO
DAMAGE. SO IT IS 408. WE EXPECT
THE SEVERE THE WORST OF THE
THUNDERSTORM TO BE IN LIVONIA
WITHIN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES.
AFTER THAT, IT WILL GO TO GARDEN
CITY AT 423. INKSTER 427,
DEARBORN HEIGHTS, BE ON ALERT
THERE AT 430 IS WHEN YOU’LL GET
THE WIND AND ALSO HAIL. SO THOSE
ARE THE TWO BIGGEST THREATS
RIGHT NOW, WIND AND HAIL. BUT
THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT WE’VE HAD
THIS AFTERNOON UP TO THE NORTH
HAVE HAD A HISTORY OF HAVING
ROTATION. THERE WERE TWO TWO
TORNADO WARNINGS THIS AFTERNOON
. AND SO THAT’S WHY WE’RE
REALLY, REALLY KEEPING AN EYE ON
OUR VELOCITY AND CHECKING TO SEE
IF THERE ARE ANY SIGNS OF
ROTATION. RIGHT NOW, WE DON’T
HAVE ANYTHING CONFIRMED NOW.
WE’VE GOT ANOTHER HOUR WARNING
JUST IN EFFECT FOR MACOMB
COUNTY. THIS IS NEW MACOMB
COUNTY UNDER A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNING THAT GOES
OVER INTO THE EXTREME EASTERN
PART OF OAKLAND COUNTY,
ROCHESTER HILLS, GETTING IT
RIGHT NOW. BUT THE WORST OF IT
IS STILL YET TO COME THROUGH
ROCHESTER HILLS. SO ABOUT 15
MORE MINUTES FOR YOU FOLKS IN
ROCHESTER HILLS FOR THIS STORM
TO GO THROUGH. MOVING TO THE
EAST AT ABOUT 25 TO 30MPH.
SHELBY TOWNSHIP, 414, MACOMB,
424, NEW HAVEN, 443. SO HEADS UP
IF YOU ARE IN IN ANYWHERE FROM
RICHMOND AND ROMEO, SOUTH, IT
DOES INCLUDE THE GROSSE POINTES
NOW. SO FROM JUST FROM A LINE
FROM RICHMOND ALL THE WAY DOWN
THROUGH WAYNE COUNTY IS WHERE
YOU ARE UNDER A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNING, STILL
SEEING A STORM OUTSIDE OF
BERKLEY NOT INCLUDED IN THAT
BOX, BUT DEFINITELY YOU’RE
GETTING SOME THUNDER AND
LIGHTNING THERE. BUT I WANT TO
GO BACK AND JUST FOCUS REALLY
QUICKLY, THOUGH, ON PLYMOUTH,
DOWNTOWN PLYMOUTH, HAVING THEIR
OUTDOOR CONCERT RIGHT NOW TO 75
AND JOY ROAD, STRONG
THUNDERSTORM THERE AT IT NOW
APPEARS LIKE IT HAS MOVED PAST
MILL STREET IN DOWNTOWN PLYMOUTH
AND IT’S NOW CROSSED OVER TO 75.
SO THERE’S M-14 AND 275. SO
THAT’S GOOD NEWS FOR PLYMOUTH.
BUT LIVE IONIA GETTING VERY,
VERY HIGH WINDS RIGHT NOW. AND
ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF LARGE
HAIL. WE’VE GOT THE HAIL SIZE AT
THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH.
THAT’S THE SIZE OF A QUARTER.
THAT’S ENOUGH TO DO DAMAGE TO
YOUR CAR. SO IF YOU’RE PARKED
OUTSIDE AND YOU LIVE ANYWHERE IN
WAYNE COUNTY, YOU’RE GOING TO
WANT TO GET INSIDE. HERE’S WHAT
WE’RE WATCHING. THE WIND
DETECTOR STARTING TO SHOW SOME
SIGNS WE’RE LOOKING FOR. THE
GREENS BUTTED UP AGAINST THE
REDS AND SIGNS OF ROTATION. SO
WE’VE GOT INBOUND AIRFLOW AND
OUTBOUND AT 30MPH. AND 31MPH. SO
THE POTENTIAL FOR 60 TO 65 MILE
PER HOUR GUSTS WITHIN THIS CELL
THAT IS RIGHT NOW DIRECTLY OVER
TOP OF LIVONIA. WE’VE ALSO SEEN
IT HAVE A HISTORY OF HAIL
INDICATING THERE ARE VERY STRONG
UPDRAFTS WITH LARGE HAIL BEING
REPORTED OVER PLYMOUTH. IT’S NOT
ALWAYS A SIGN THERE’LL BE
ROTATION AT A TORNADO, BUT IT IS
DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT PERKS
OUR EARS UP AS METEOROLOGISTS
WHEN WE START TO SEE STRONG
UPDRAFT SHIFTS AND LARGE HAIL,
THAT’S WHEN WE REALLY START
LOOKING FOR SIGNS OF ROTATION,
ESPECIALLY SINCE THE HISTORY LEE
OF THE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON HAVE INCLUDED SOME
ROTATION. NOW THOSE WERE UP INTO
THE THUMB, BUT REGARDLESS, WE’VE
SEEN THE ATMOSPHERE FOR AT LEAST
HAVE ENOUGH JUICE GOING TO GET
SOME ROTATION. SO WE’RE LOOKING
AT THIS VERTICAL SLICE HERE.
WE’VE GOT A PRETTY HIGH CLOUD
TOPS. WHEN YOU START TO SEE THE
YELLOWS AND THE ORANGES, THAT’S
INDICATION THAT THERE IS LARGE
HAIL AND VERY STRONG UPDRAFTS.
SO THIS IS A REAL STRONG
THUNDERSTORM. IF YOU’RE THINKING
ABOUT LEAVING WORK AND YOU AND
YOU WORK, YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL
RIGHT ALONG. I 96 FROM 275 INTO
THE DOWNTOWN AREA. JUST STAY
PUT. THIS RIGHT OVER LIVONIA
RIGHT THERE. THAT RED THAT YOU
SEE IS A VERY STRONG
THUNDERSTORM MOVING OFF TO THE
EAST. THERE’S ALSO ANOTHER
THUNDERSTORM DOWN TO THE SOUTH.
SO ALL OF 275, IF YOU TRAVEL
ANYWHERE ON 275 IN WAYNE COUNTY,
YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO JUST SIT
TIGHT, STAY PUT. IT IS SEVERE
CLOUD TOPS AT 30,000FT. SO VERY
STRONG UPDRAFTS. ONE INCH HAIL
SIZE. THAT’S A PRETTY BIG THAT’S
PRETTY BIG. AND THEN WE’RE ALSO
LOOKING AT THE BTI, WHICH IS THE
POSSIBILITY THERE COULD BE
ROTATION. AND THAT IS OUR BARREN
RADAR THAT’S EXCLUSIVE TO US. IT
IS THE TORNADO INDEX AND IT IS
IT IS CLIMBING UP TO ABOUT A
THREE RIGHT NOW. SO LOOK AT THE
POSSIBILITY OF SOME VERY LARGE
HAIL, AS MUCH AS ONE INCH HAIL.
AND THAT’S CONCERNING WHEN WE
LOOK AT THE VELOCITY AND THE
REFLECTIVITY, BUT ESPECIALLY THE
VELOCITY AND STARTING TO SEE IF
WE HAVE ANY SIGNS OF ROTATION.
SO I WANT TO ZOOM BACK OUT RIGHT
NOW. WAYNE COUNTY UNDER THE GUN
FOR THIS SEVERE WEATHER MOVING
OFF TO THE EAST. WOODHAVEN AT
SIX 436 GIBRALTAR 444, RIVERVIEW
445 AND GROSSE ILL AT 448. WE’VE
ALSO GOT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WARNINGS NOW IN EFFECT FOR
MACOMB COUNTY AND THE EASTERN
PART OF OAKLAND COUNTY, ANOTHER
CELL. HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING
WITH THESE CELLS. THEY’RE ALSO
JUST POPPING UP. THIS IS A MULTI
CELL EVENT. SO EVEN IF IT’S NOT
STORMING AT YOUR HOUSE RIGHT
NOW, THESE THUNDERSTORMS CAN POP
UP. AND THEY’VE ALSO BEEN
CYCLING. SO THEY’VE BEEN
STRENGTHENING, WEAKENING,
STRENGTHENING, WEAKENING. AND
THIS ONE OVER ROCHESTER HAS JUST
STRENGTHENED JUST WITHIN THE
LAST COUPLE OF SCANS OF THE
RADAR. NOW, WE’VE GOT HAIL AT
WOW. OKAY, SO HAIL AT AN INCH
AND THREE QUARTERS RIGHT OVER
THE CITY OF ROCHESTER, RIGHT
OVER DOWNTOWN ROCHESTER. YOU CAN
SEE THE HAIL FROM AUBURN HILLS
OVER TO ROCHESTER. SO IF YOU
LIVE IN WASHINGTON, SHELBY
TOWNSHIP AND MCCOMB, EVEN UTICA
, DEFINITELY BE STAY PUT. IF
YOU’RE THINKING OF HEADED OUT
TONIGHT OR MAYBE HEADED UP NORTH
OR ANYWHERE YOU’RE GOING, THE
KIDS HAVE SPORTS. JUST JUST SIT
TIGHT. IF YOU’RE IN THESE
COUNTIES JUST FOR THE TIME
BEING, ESPECIALLY IN MCCOMB,
UTICA AND ROCHESTER. SO
CHESTERFIELD, 450, MCCOMB, 435
AGAIN, SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WARNINGS IN EFFECT THERE, SLOW
MOVERS TO. SO THAT’S WHY THESE
WARNINGS GO FOR SO LONG. THIS IS
ALL THE WAY UNTIL 5:00. SO AS WE
WIDEN BACK OUT FOR YOU HERE, YOU
CAN SEE MULTIPLE WARNINGS FROM
PORT HURON UNDER THAT SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNING THAT
EXPIRES AT 430. BUT THE REST OF
METRO DETROIT, THE REST OF METRO
DETROIT STILL HAVING THAT SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNING. BUT IF YOU
TRAVEL RIGHT ALONG, I 96 OAK
PARK, REDFORD, DEARBORN HEIGHTS
AND LIVONIA, VERY LARGE HAIL,
HEAVY RAIN AND HIGH WINDS, EVEN
IF THERE’S NO ROTATION IN, WE’VE
GOT 60 MILE PER HOUR WINDS IN
THIS AREA. SO LET’S SEND IT BACK
TO CHRISTIE. BRETT COLLIER AND
METEOROLOGIST BRETT COLLAR. RON
HILLIARD’S HERE, ALL OF US
TRACKING THESE STORMS. SO WE
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE
SITUATION IF WE SEE ANY SIGNS OF
