ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER HEADED TO METRO DETROIT. THANKS FOR BEING WITH US. I’M KIMBERLY
GILL.
>> I’M DEVIN SCILLIAN. LET’S
START THINGS OFF HERE AT 11.
BRIAN SHERMAN, HE’S IN FOR KIM
ADAMS TONIGHT WITH A LOOK AT
WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
>> HEY THERE, DEVIN AND
KIMBERLY. EXACT TRACK 40 RADAR
STARTING TO PICK UP IN
THUNDERSTORM INTENSITY
ESPECIALLY IN THE PAST 30 TO 45
MINUTES WITH A FEW STRONGER
THUNDER STORMS. ONE OF THEM
RIGHT OVER DOWNTOWN DETROIT.
THIS THUNDERSTORM CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING WINDS UP TO 30 TO 35
MILES AN HOUR AND HAIL TO HALF
INCH IN DIAMETER. THIS IS RIGHT
AROUND HAMTRAMCK WORKING DOWN
INTO THE METRO AND HEADING OVER
TOWARD THE GROSSE POINTE
COMMUNITIES. THEN WE’VE GOT
ANOTHER THUNDERSTORM THAT’S
WORKING UP INTO MACOMB COUNTY.
THAT’S ON THE STRONGER SIDE AS
WELL. LOTS OF LIGHTNING TO THE
WEST OF MOUNT CLEMENS AND TO
THE EAST OF STERLING HEIGHTS,
WORKING DOWN TOWARD FRAZIER AND
ROSEVILLE. OTHER THUNDERSTORM
FORMS ALSO OFF TO THE WEST.
WE’RE GOING TO KEEP AN EYE ON
OVERNIGHT THAT ARE STARTING TO
PICK UP IN INTENSITY RIGHT
AROUND OXFORD AND WATERFORD AND
THEN A FEW SHOWERS WORKING
TOWARD CANTON AS WELL. SO BE ON
GUARD AS WE GO THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO EARLY
TOMORROW MORNING. A RAINY TOWER
CAM OVERLOOKING BELLE ISLE WITH
LIGHTNING INTERMITTENTLY
WORKING THROUGHOUT THE EVENING
. STILL VERY WARM, VERY HUMID.
77 RIGHT NOW. METRO AIRPORT, 81
STILL AT 11:00 IN ANN ARBOR, 74
IN PONTIAC. AND 66 AS YOU WORK
INTO SANDUSKY. THESE STORMS
HAVE BEEN SINKING TO THE SOUTH
AND THEN BACK BUILDING,
REDEVELOPING TOWARD METRO
DETROIT. SO WE’RE GOING TO KEEP
AN EYE ON THIS, BUT WE COULD
SEE YET MORE SEVERE WEATHER
LATE TOMORROW. WE’LL TALK MORE
ABOUT THAT AND YOUR COMPLETE
FOREWARN FORECAST COMING UP IN
JUST A FEW MINUTES. BRIAN THANK
YOU.
>> THE RAIN CAME DOWN IN
BUCKETS TODAY. IN FACT,
COMMUNITIES TONIGHT ARE UNDER
WATER.
>> OUR TIM PAMPLIN SPENT THE
DAY IN CHESTERFIELD TOWNSHIP.
DOCUMENTS THE FLOODING THERE,
AND THAT’S WHERE NEIGHBORS HAVE
A MESSAGE FOR THEIR CITY
LEADERS. TIM. THE RAIN STARTED
POURING OVER CHESTERFIELD
TOWNSHIP JUST AFTER THE LUNCH
HOUR.
>> I’VE NEVER SEEN A RAIN SO
HEAVY BEFORE FLOODING OUT THE
SUBDIVISION NEAR I-94 AND 21
MILE ROAD, STRANDING SEVERAL
MOTORISTS, WATCHING THE RAIN
POORER AND POORER AND POORER
AND POORER.
>> AND THIS IS FILLING AND
FILLING AND FILLING. I COULDN’T
GET OUT.
>> EVEN THE WILDLIFE SEEMED A
LITTLE PERPLEXED BY ALL THIS
WATER FOR DRIVERS. NONETHELESS
CONTINUE TO DRIVE THROUGH THE
FLOODED STREETS IN THIS
SUBDIVISION, PUSHING THOUSANDS
OF GALLONS OF WATER THROUGHOUT
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
>> THE WAKE FROM THIS DISASTER
IS COMING CLOSE ENOUGH INTO MY
GARAGE. MY BASEMENT IS FLOODING
MY BACKYARD IS FLOODING.
>> THE MINUTE I SAW MY
BACKYARD, FLOODING BEHIND THE
SHED, I HAD TO RUN AND EMPTY MY
SHED OUT ALL MY LAWN EQUIPMENT.
OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE LOST IT.
ALL MY GENERATORS, EVERYTHING.
I WOULD HAVE LOST EVERYTHING.
>> SOME RESIDENTS TOLD ME THIS
EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED JUST
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. THEY
WANT ANSWERS AND THEY’RE NOT
GETTING ANY.
>> AND TO HAVE THEM TELL ME
THAT, OH, THEIR PUMPS ARE
WORKING WELL, OBVIOUSLY THEIR
PUMPS AREN’T WORKING.
>> I RAN INTO THIS HAPPY FELLOW
NAMES BRANDON DOORDASH RIGHT
NOW, BUT I JUST GRADUATED.
>> I’M GOING TO BE A HISTORY
TEACHER AND IT CAN’T HAPPEN ANY
SOONER. LET ME TELL YOU.
>> YOU SEE BRANDON’S CAR? WELL
HE’S NOT IN IT. IT’S DOWN THE
STREET. AND WHEN HE PULLED INTO
THIS SUBDIVISION, HE HAD A
DECISION TO MAKE. I NEVER, YOU
KNOW, NEVER DEALT WITH A
SITUATION LIKE THIS.
>> SO I THOUGHT I COULD CRANK
THROUGH, MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO
THE END. AND THE CAR STALLED
OUT.
>> HE’S GOING THE EXTRA MILE,
STILL GOT A JOB TO DO.
>> YOU HAVE A BLESSED ONE, SIR.
>> IS A LITTLE SLICE OF LIFE
HERE IN THE BRYSON WOULD
SUBDIVISION 21 MILE AND 94.
EVERYBODY HERE HOLDING THEIR
BREATH WITH MORE STORMS IN THE
FORECAST. THEY HOPE THE
TOWNSHIP OR THE COUNTY CAN DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THE REPEATED
FLOODING HERE IN THE WOODS
SUBDIVISION IN CHESTERFIELD
TOWNSHIP. TIM PAMPLIN, LOCAL 4.
>> ALL RIGHT, NOW TO BREAKING
NEWS JUST INTO OUR NEWSROOM
FROM DEARBORN. POLICE ON THE
SCENE TONIGHT OF A VIOLENT ONE
CAR CRASH NEAR GREENFIELD AND
FORD ROAD. NOT EXACTLY CERTAIN
WHAT CAUSED THE WRECK, BUT
WITNESSES TELL US AT LEAST ONE
PERSON CRAWLED OUT OF THE
SMASHED SUV AND THEN COLLAPSED
RIGHT THERE ON THE GROUND. AN
UPDATE JUST AS SOON AS WE KNOW
MORE.
>> WELL, LET’S SEE HOW WE CAN
MAKE THIS BEAUTIFUL. THAT’S
WHAT THE EASTSIDE COMMUNITY
NETWORK IS ASKING TONIGHT AFTER
THE NONPROFIT WAS TARGETED BY
AN ARMED MAN WHO RAMMED HIS
TRUCK INTO THEIR BUILDING. AS
MARA MACDONALD SHOWS US,
THEY’RE LOOKING FOR ARCHITECTS
.
>> THEY’RE LOOKING FOR
ARCHITECTS BECAUSE THIS LITTLE
GEM OF A NONPROFIT IS REFUSING
TO LET WHAT WAS AN AWFUL DAY
TARNISH THEM. LET ME SHOW YOU
IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT US.
>> WE’RE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE
IT BEAUTIFUL.
>> THE ENTRANCE TO THE EASTSIDE
COMMUNITY NETWORK IS BOARDED UP
AFTER AN AWFUL WEEKEND, AND I
BELIEVE THAT SOMEHOW WE WERE
PROTECTED BY FORCES THAT WE
DIDN’T UNDERSTAND. SURVEILLANCE
VIDEO SHOWS A PICKUP TRUCK
ENTER THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY,
THEN IT DRIVES AROUND AND SITS
MOVING AGAIN TO GET CLOSER.
ULTIMATELY DRIVING UP ONTO THE
SIDEWALK, THEN BACKING UP UNTIL
THE DRIVER REARS BACK, HITS THE
GAS AND PLOWS INTO THE BUILDING
IN THE VESTIBULE. DONNA
DAVIDSON WASN’T TOO KEEN ON IN
THE FIRST PLACE. IS WHAT SAVED
THE DAY. IT PREVENTED THE TRUCK
FROM GOING FURTHER INTO THE
BUILDING AND WEDGED THE DRIVER,
BENJAMIN WEINSTEIN, IN HIS
TRUCK. HE WAS ARMED WITH TWO
GUNS. YOU CAN SEE HIM TRY AND
TAKE OFF AFTER STAFF HELPS FREE
HIM FROM THE TRUCK. THEY GOT
HIM ON THE GROUND AND WAITED
FOR POLICE TO ARRIVE. BUT NOW
THIS LITTLE MID-CENTURY MODERN
GEM WHICH DOES SO MUCH GOOD,
WHETHER IT’S HEALTH CARE
CLINICS, DANCE CLASSES, YOUTH
PROGRAMS, OR A HUB FOR
NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAMS, IS BETTER CHARRED AND
BRUISED.
>> WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS MAKE
SURE THAT WE CAN MAKE LEMONADE
OUT OF THESE LEMONS AND DO
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IN THE
FRONT THAT WE DID NOT EVEN
IMAGINE NEEDING TO DO TO
REINVEST IN OUR COMMUNITY.
>> SO DAVIDSON IS
BRAINSTORMING. DOES SHE
APPROACH THE LOCAL UNIVERSITIES
AND MAKE IT A COMPETITION
BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOLS?
YOU KNOW, WHO CAN COME UP WITH
THE BEST SCHEME, OR ARE THERE
DETROIT CREATIVE WHO WOULD BE
WILLING TO STEP FORTH AND HELP?
YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION? ALL
YOU HAVE TO DO IS HEAD ON OVER
TO CLICK ON DETROIT.COM. I’M
MARA MACDONALD. WE’RE DOWNTOWN
.
>> OKAY. MARA NEW AT 11 CHANGES
COMING TO THE GROSSE POINTE
SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT JOHN DEAN HAS
ANNOUNCED HIS RETIREMENT AND

WHILE THEY WERE WALKING TO
DINNER. VIVIAN LATER DIED. HER
HUSBAND IS RECOVERING. THE
JUDGE SAID A $250,000 CASH BOND
.
>> THE FIRST GOP PRESIDENTIAL
DEBATE SAW SOME SPARKS FLY
TONIGHT, EVEN WITHOUT FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN ATTENDANCE.
THE CURRENT FRONT RUNNER DID
NOT PARTICIPATE, HAD HIS OWN
MESSAGE TO DELIVER ON A
STREAMING SERVICE. ALICE BARR
SAW IT ALL IN MILWAUKEE. AND
TONIGHT, THAT’S WHERE SHE IS
WITH THE LATEST. ALICE SAY
TONIGHT, THE KICKOFF TO THE
2024 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.
>> EIGHT PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS
LOOKING FOR A BREAKTHROUGH.
REPUBLICAN RIVALS SLAMMING THE
PRESIDENT’S BIDENOMICS AGENDA.
>> WE MUST REVERSE BIDENOMICS
SO THAT MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES
HAVE A CHANCE TO SUCCEED AGAIN.
WE CANNOT SUCCEED AS A COUNTRY
IF YOU ARE WORKING HARD AND YOU
CAN’T AFFORD GROCERIES, A CAR,
OR A NEW HOME.
>> FIERY MOMENTS NOW IS NOT THE
TIME FOR ON THE JOB TRAINING.
>> WE DON’T NEED TO BRING IN A
ROOKIE. DO YOU WANT A PAC
PUPPET OR DO YOU WANT A PATRIOT
WHO SPEAKS THE TRUTH? DO YOU
WANT INCREMENTAL REFORM?
>> IF YOU WANT SOMETHING SAID,
ASK A MAN. IF YOU WANT
SOMETHING DONE, ASK A WOMAN.
>> ABORTION RIGHTS. ANOTHER KEY
TOPIC.
>> LOOK, WE CANNOT LET STATES
LIKE CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK AND
ILLINOIS HAVE ABORTIONS ON
DEMAND. AND UP UNTIL THE DAY OF
BIRTH, I’M A PRO-LIFE GOVERNOR
OF A VERY PRO-LIFE STATE.
>> AND THIS IS ISSUE IS, OF
COURSE, VERY IMPORTANT. BUT I
AM ON THE RECORD AND I STAND
BEHIND THAT. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE
A FEDERAL ABORTION BAN.
>> THE FRONT RUNNER, FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP, SKIPPING THE
FIRST DEBATE. THE REPUBLICAN
RIVALS PRESSED ON MR. TRUMP’S
LEGAL TROUBLES.
>> SOMEONE’S GOT TO STOP
NORMALIZING THIS CONDUCT. OKAY
>> NOW, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
RELEASING A COMPETING INTERVIEW
WITH FORMER FOX HOST TUCKER
CARLSON.
>> BUT WE’LL GET BIGGER RATINGS
USING THIS CRAZY FORUM THAT
YOU’RE USING THAN PROBABLY THE
DEBATE.
>> MR. TRUMP LOOKING TO STEAL
THE SPOTLIGHT ON THE EVE OF
TURNING HIMSELF IN IN ATLANTA
ON CHARGES HE TRIED TO
ILLEGALLY OVERTURN GEORGIA’S
2020 ELECTION RESULTS AS HIS
RIVALS LOOK AHEAD TO 2024.
ALICE BARR, LOCAL 4 YOU KNOW,
CLOSER TO HOME, THE UAW IS
GEARING UP FOR A POSSIBLE
STRIKE.
>> IF CONTRACT TALKS WITH
AMERICA’S BIG THREE AUTO
COMPANIES DON’T GO WELL FOR THE
UNION’S PRESIDENT. SEAN FAIN
WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM
STELLANTIS DETROIT ASSEMBLY
COMPLEX THIS AFTERNOON,
CONDUCTING A PRACTICE PICKET.
THE UNION IS HOLDING A STRIKE
AUTHORIZATION VOTE AS THE CLOCK
IS TICKING ON THE CURRENT
CONTRACT. FAIN HAS BEEN SENDING
A CONSISTENT MESSAGE THAT THE
UNION IS READY TO FIGHT FOR
WHAT IT WANTS.
>> THEY WANT YOU TO ACCEPT THAT
IT’S OKAY FOR THEM TO MAKE
BILLIONS AND FOR THE CEOS TO
MAKE MILLIONS AND FOR YOU TO
SCRAPE TO GET BY PAYCHECK TO
PAYCHECK. IT’S NOT RIGHT, AND
WE’RE SURE AS HELL NOT GOING TO
STAND FOR IT ANYMORE.
>> I’VE BEEN WITH THE COMPANY
FOR EIGHT YEARS. THIS IS MY
THIRD TIME GOING THROUGH
CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS AND WE’RE
FIRED UP. WE’RE READY TO TAKE
ACTION.
