FORD BACK TO YOU A STORY. ALL
RIGHT. THANK YOU, SEAN. IAN HAS
ONCE AGAIN LOST ITS HURRICANE
STATUS OFFICIALLY, BUT IT’S
STILL CAUSING MAJOR PROBLEMS AS
IT ARRIVES IN THE CAROLINAS AS A
POST TROPICAL CYCLONE IN SOUTH
CAROLINA, 100 AND 80,000 HOMES
AND BUSINESSES HAVE ALREADY LOST
POWER IN FLORIDA, THE LATEST
ESTIMATE ESTIMATES ON POWER
OUTAGES WAS RIGHT AROUND 1.9
MILLION. THERE’S BEEN ONE DEATH
CONFIRMED AS RESULTING FROM
HURRICANE IAN, BUT OFFICIALS ARE
REVIEWING THE CAUSES OF 20 OTHER
DEATHS, SO THAT TOTAL WE ALL
KNOW IS LIKELY TO RISE.
UNFORTUNATELY OFFICIALS TODAY
SAID AROUND 700 RESCUES HAD
TAKEN PLACE IN FLORIDA, AND
THOSE RESCUES ARE CONTINUING AT
THIS HOUR ALONGSIDE CLEANUP
EFFORTS AND DAMAGE ASSESSMENT.
IAN HAS MOVED ON FROM SOUTHWEST
FLORIDA, BUT THE AFTERMATH IS
OVERWHELMING. THOSE LOTS RIGHT
THERE. THOSE WERE HOMES. THOSE
WERE HOTELS. THOSE WERE REAL
PROPERTY RESPONSE IN HARD HIT
AREAS LIKE FORT MYERS, STILL IN
OVERDRIVE RIGHT NOW, OUR FOCUS
IS WE’VE GOT TO GET THE
ELECTRICITY DOWN, ESPECIALLY FOR
OUR WATER PLANTS AND OUR WELLS
TWO DAYS AFTER THE STORM SLAMMED
THE COAST AS A POWERFUL CATEGORY
FOUR STORM MILLIONS OF
FLORIDIANS REMAIN IN THE DARK,
AND RESIDENTS ARE STILL IN
SHOCK. THEIR HOMES AND
BUSINESSES DESTROYED. IT’S
SURREAL. I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
EVENTS LIKE THESE. YOU DON’T
THINK AND HAPPEN TO YOU FOR
SOUTHWEST COUNTIES LIKELY.
COLLIER AND CHARLOTTE. THE SCOPE
OF THE DEVASTATION IS YET TO BE
DETERMINED. THIS IS A VERY LONG
PROCESS NOW BECAUSE THEY’RE
THEY’RE BASICALLY GOING STREET
TO STREET HOME BY HOME COAST
AERIAL VIEWS SHOW SANIBEL ISLAND
SHORE FRONT COTTAGES WIPED AWAY
ROOFS TORN OFF. MEANWHILE IN
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PARTS OF
FLORIDA FLOODING IS A BIG
CONCERN WITH IMPACTS STATEWIDE,
IAN IS LIKELY THE LARGEST
NATURAL DISASTER IN FLORIDA’S
HISTORY. WE KNOW THAT THERE’S A
LOT OF DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD AND
IAN MOVED NORTH CAROLINA’S
COASTAL AREAS LIKE MYRTLE BEACH
AND CHARLESTON DID THEIR BEST TO
PREPARE. FOR THE UNPREDICTABLE.
ALRIGHT AND PAUL IS HERE. NOW
WITH AN UPDATE ON IAN’S CHANGE
IN STATUS AND ITS TRACK AS WELL
, PAUL THERE. THIS IS KIND OF
REMARKABLE. I’M GONNA SHOW YOU.
THIS IS A 24 HOUR RADAR
ANIMATION SHOWING YOU AS IT
MOVED OFF THE COAST OF FLORIDA.
YOU START TO LOSE A LITTLE BIT
OF DATA OVER THE WATER HERE
BECAUSE IT’S FAR FROM THE RADAR,
BUT NOTICE RIGHT AS AN APPROACH
LINE, YOU START TO SEE A SWIRL
HERE RIGHT THERE. YOU SEE HOW
THAT DEVELOPED THAT THAT I SO
THIS TURNED INTO A HURRICANE
AGAIN AND NOTICE NOW HOW IT’S
STARTING TO LOSE SHAPE, BUT
STILL A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN AS IT
MOVES INLAND. SO WHERE IS THIS
THING GOING TO GO? OH, HERE WE
ARE. ARE AT SIX O’CLOCK AND
AGAIN THERE’S OUR CIRCULATION
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS IS
GOING TO MOVE NORTH AND STILL
CREATE A LOT OF RAIN. NOW WE’LL
TALK MORE ABOUT THAT IN A
MINUTE. THE SPARTANS PLAY IN
MARYLAND TOMORROW, AND WE’RE
GONNA HAVE A LOT OF RAIN ALSO
BACK TO THE WEST OF THERE, BUT
NOTICE THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW
THERE ARE GOING TO BE SHOWERS
AND MAYBE EVEN THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THE DAY. SO UNTIL YOU
SOMETHING FOR THE SPARTANS
PLAYING TOMORROW, THERE COULD BE
A SHOWER OR STORM AT ANY POINT
THROUGH THE GAME, AND IT’S GOING
TO BE WINDY WITH POTENTIAL WIND
GUSTS TO 40 MPH FOR THAT GAME AT
MARYLAND. WE’LL TALK MORE ABOUT
OUR FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND
COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES,
GUYS. NOW, OVER THE PAST COUPLE
OF DAYS, WE HAVE SEEN MANY
IMAGES OF PETS BEING RESCUED
ALONG WITH THEIR OWNERS FROM
AREAS FLOODED OR DAMAGED BY IAN,
BUT WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY
MORE ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN
SEPARATED FROM THEIR PEOPLE, OR
POSSIBLY LOST OR HAVING TO FEND
FOR THEMSELVES. AS ALWAYS,
MICHIGAN IS SENDING HELP.
KIM DEGUILIO SHOWS US HOW
MICHIGAN HUMANE IS DOING ITS
PART. THE ANIMAL SEARCH AND
RESCUE TEAM HERE AT MICHIGAN
HUMANE ISN’T WASTING ANY TIME
GETTING THOSE ANIMALS BACK TO
THEIR OWNERS. IN FACT, THEY’RE
ON THEIR WAY TO FLORIDA RIGHT
NOW. IT’S NOT YOUR ORDINARY
PACKING LIST FOR A ROAD TRIP
DOWN TO FLORIDA BUT GOING INTO
THIS TRUCK AND SUV ARE THE
ESSENTIALS TO SAVE THE ANIMALS
IN FLORIDA, WHO HAVE BEEN
DISPLACED FROM THEIR OWNERS, YOU
KNOW, WE WOULD HOPE THAT
SOMEBODY CAME TO HELP BOSS AT
THE END OF THE DAY. THAT’S
DEBORAH MACDONALD. SHE’S THE
DIRECTOR OF MICHIGAN HUMANE
ANIMAL SEARCH AND RESCUE
STATEWIDE RESPONSE TEAM IN
CHARGE IT TRAVELING TO
DEVASTATED AREAS AFTER NATURAL
DISASTERS IS SOMETHING HER AND
HER TEAM HAVE DONE MANY TIMES
BEFORE WE HAVE GONE INTO HOUSES
AND TAKEN OUT, YOU KNOW, LARGE
BIRDS, LIZARDS, CHICKENS, GOATS.
YOU KNOW DOGS, CATS. IT’S A
LITTLE PEOPLE HAVE EVERYTHING.
IT’S HARD ENOUGH FOR THE PEOPLE
WHO HAVE LOST EVERYTHING THEY
OWN IN THIS HURRICANE, BUT IF
THEY CAN AT LEAST GET THEIR PETS
BACK, IT CAN GIVE THEM HOPE.
WHEN YOU HAVE PETS, I THINK YOU
UNDERSTAND JUST HOW ATTACHED YOU
ARE. AND HOW HOW MUCH PART OF
YOUR FAMILY THEY ARE. YOU KNOW,
PEOPLE DON’T ALWAYS HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK IN AND
GET THOSE ANIMALS OUT. THIS TEAM
OF FOUR IS HEADED TO LEE COUNTY
EQUIPPED WITH BOATS, MOTORS,
CAGES AND FOOD AND READY FOR THE
DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. HURRICANE
IAN HAS LEFT BEHIND. OUR TEAM
HAS GONE THROUGH CONFINED SPACE
AND COMPROMISED STRUCTURE
TRAINING. UM FLAT AND SWIFT
WATER RESCUE TRAINING. WE HAVE
THE DRY SUITS OF THE GEAR TO
PROTECT US FROM THE FLOODWATERS
, WHICH ARE CONTAMINATED. DEBRA
SAYS THEIR RESCUE EFFORTS ONLY
HELPED TRAIN THEIR TEAM EVEN
MORE, MAKING THEM BETTER
PREPARED FOR RESPONDING AT HOME,
TOO, WHEN WE RESPOND OUT OF
STATE UM, WHAT THAT DOES FOR US
HERE? PUTS US IN A BETTER
POSITION TO RESPOND IF WE NEEDED
IN MICHIGAN. THEIR PLAN IS TO
GET TO ATLANTA TONIGHT AND THEN
THE LEAVE FOR LEE COUNTY
TOMORROW MORNING. REPORTING IN
DETROIT, OUTSIDE OF MICHIGAN,
HUMANE I’M KIM DEGUILIO LOCAL 4.
APPRECIATE ALL OF THEIR WORK. OF
COURSE, FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE
RESCUED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE FROM
SANTA BELL ISLAND AFTER ITS
CAUSEWAY WAS WIPED OUT, TRAPPING
ANYONE WHO IS STILL THERE. NBC’S
MORGAN CHESKY FLEW OVER SANTA
BELL WITH THE LEAD COUNTY
SHERIFF WHO SAYS HE KNOWS THERE
ARE STILL PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND
WHO NEED HELP. THE CAUSEWAY
BEING I MEAN, THE DAMAGE IS
HORRIFIC. WE GOT TO SEE IT
FIRSTHAND. RIGHT? THERE ARE
PEOPLE STILL STUCK ON THE
ISLAND. MY MESSAGES. STANDBY
STAY SAFE. STAY INSIDE. DON’T GO
OUT WHERE THERE MIGHT BE A
DOWNED POWER LINE OR WATER THAT
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT’S IN IT.
STAY SAFE BECAUSE WE ARE COMING
IN FULL FORCE. THE FULL STORY
AHEAD AT 6 30 ON NBC. NIGHTLY
NEWS IS LESTER HOLD ANCHORS LIVE
FROM FORT MYERS BEACH WITH THE
VERY LATEST ON THE RECOVERY
EFFORTS AND WHAT’S HAPPENING AS
IAN ARRIVES IN THE CAROLINAS.
WATER WILL SOON BE FLOWING
THROUGH THE NEW MAIN THAT
REPLACED THE ONE THAT BROKE IN
AUGUST, PUTTING 23 COMMUNITIES
UNDER BOIL WATER ADVISORIES. THE
GREAT LAKES WATER AUTHORITY SAYS
IT’S FINISHED WITH PHASE TWO,
WHICH IS DISINFECTING AND
TESTING. NOW COMES THE FINAL
PHASE, WHICH AMOUNTS TO LETTING
THE NEW MAIN CARRY WATER
CUSTOMERS WHO WERE AFFECTED BY
THE ORIGINAL BREAK. SHOULD
EXPECT SOME FLUCTUATIONS IN
WATER PRESSURE THROUGHOUT THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WE KNOW
THAT GLW A GLEE WHAT HAS SET A
TARGET DATE OF OCTOBER 5TH FOR
EVERYTHING TO FINALLY BE BACK TO
NORMAL. 40% OF WOMEN HAVE DENSE
BREAST TISSUE, PUTTING THEM AT
HIGHER RISK FOR BREAST CANCER
AND MAKING THE DISEASE MORE
DIFFICULT TO DETECT WITH A
MAMMOGRAM. A NEW TECHNOLOGY
CALLED SOFT VIEW CAN IMPROVE
SCREENINGS FOR THOSE WOMEN AND
THE CARMEN IS CANCER INSTITUTE
IN DETROIT WILL BE THE FIRST IN
THE NATION TO OFFER IT TO
PATIENTS AT DELPHINE’S MEDICAL
TECHNOLOGIES IN NOVI THERE’S
EXCITEMENT IN THE AIR, SUPER
PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS PROJECT,
AND TO FINALLY GET IT TO THIS
POINT IS REALLY EXCITING
PRESIDENT AND CEO MARK FOR SHAY
SAYS THE FIRST FDA APPROVED SOFT
VIEW UNIT WILL BE DELIVERED TO
CARMEN IS IN JUST DAYS. FIRST
SYSTEM GOES INTO A SITE WE START
SAVING LIVES. CAN THE PATIENT
LIES CHEST DOWN IN A POOL OF
WARM WATER, WHILE ULTRASOUND
CREATES A DETAILED IMAGE OF THE
BREAST TISSUE? THERE IS NO
COMPRESSION AND NO RADIATION.
IT’S USED IN ADDITION TO A
MAMMOGRAM FOR WOMEN WITH DENSE
BREASTS, SAYS DR NATASHA
ROBINETTE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH
DIGITAL MAMMOGRAM DETECTS 20%
MORE CANCERS. SO THAT MEANS 20%
MORE OF WOMEN ARE GOING TO HAVE
THEIR CANCERS DETECTED EARLIER
THAN WHAT HIT WHAT WOULD HAVE
BEEN CAUGHT ON JUST DIGITAL
MAMMOGRAM ALONG THE TECHNOLOGY
WAS THE BRAINCHILD OF TO CARMEN
IS DOCTORS SORT OF SCRIBBLED
THIS ON A NAPKIN IN ABOUT 19. I
MEAN, 99. SINCE THEN, DELFINA
SING HARMONIES HAVE WORKED ON
PROTOTYPES AND CONDUCTED DOZENS
OF CLINICAL TRIALS TO WIN FDA
APPROVAL LAST YEAR, A LONG
JOURNEY THAT’S APPRECIATED BY
VIVIAN LINKE AND 18 YEAR BREAST
CANCER SURVIVOR FROM A COMB IF
THEY HAD HAD THIS TECHNOLOGY,
EVEN WHEN I FOUND MY BREAST
CANCER IT PROBABLY COULD HAVE
DETECTED IT A LOT SOONER. THAT’S
WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT TO FIND IT
EARLY. IT’S REALLY EXCITING THAT
IT GOES HERE FIRST, AND THEN IT
WILL EXPAND ALL OVER THE WORLD.
I THINK THIS IS GOING TO SAVE
ULTIMATELY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF WIVES WHO IS
COVERED BY INSURANCE, BUT SOME
WOMEN MAY HAVE A COPAY CARMEN IS
PLANS TO GET THE SOFT FIELD UNIT
UP AND RUNNING AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE. THERE IS ALREADY A
WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN REQUEST AN
APPOINTMENT AND YOU CAN FIND
THAT LINK ON OUR HEALTH PAGE OF
CLICKONDETROIT.COM AND DON’T
FORGET THIS YEAR’S SUSAN G.
KOMEN RACE FOR THE CURE IS THIS
SUNDAY MORNING ON BELLE ISLE?
LOCAL 4 WILL BE LIVE ALL MORNING
LONG AND YOU CAN FIND ALL THE
DETAILS TO SIGN UP TO RUN OR
WALK OR MAKE A DONATION.
