Now. We begin here at five with concerns about the weather. We’re watching Exact track 40
radar, severe weather again
moving into Metro Detroit.
Alright, take a live look
outside from our Ann Arbor Sky
Cam, and you can see the rain on
the lens there and you can feel
the humidity in the air when you
walk outside right now, So let’s
get things started off with Kim
Adams. Kim We’ve got some
mornings out there we do We have
to that We’re very concerned
about right now to severe
thunderstorm Warnings one for
Livingston County until 5 30,
the other for Washington. What
county until 5 45 watching two
cells very, very closely as we
zoom in here on this cell, the
one moving through parts of
northern parts of northern
Washington County. We’re a
little concerned about this one
because we’re starting to see
some signs of rotation in the
northern part. So Webster and
South Lyon those two cities,
There’s not a tornado warning
right now. But as meteorologists
, this is what we look at to see
this is the velocity looking to
see signs of rotation. We’re
also getting some reports of
very large hail up to an inch to
an inch and a half inches about
a quarter the size of a coin a
quarter and you get it up to an
inch and a half and even two
inches and you’re getting closer
to golf ball. Even tennis size
so very large hail in this cell.
Then the others saw that we’re
watching closely as this one up
in Livingston County is just to
the west of Brighton. You’re
probably hearing the thunder
right now in Brighton, also in
Howell, But it’s out to the
West, the purple that you see
there. That’s what we’re
watching very, very closely for
again. Signs of rotation. It’s
still a little bit disorganized
. Not very tight. It’s very wide
. But the National Weather
Service and those of us here at
in the local for weather center.
We’re also watching. For the
signs of rotation, which could
mean a possible tornado. So if
you’re in Livingstone or
Washington County, you need to
start making your storm preps.
Now go ahead and go. Make sure
the kids are inside. Everyone’s
inside. These storms are moving
to the east. At about 20 to 25
MPH. They’ve slowed down just a
little bit, but I want to track
the one here that we’re
concerned about that. With the
large hail winds are also up to
60 MPH so damaging winds If you
are in Wix, um this will be to
you by 5 26 Novi 5 33. It will
be at 12 Oaks Mall at five Also
just after 5 30 walled Lake 5,
35, Wolverine Lake 5 37 and in
Commerce Township at 5 39 so
things that you’ll need to watch
out for with this particular
cell wind gusts up to about 60
MPH large hail and again the
possibility of ice. Related
tornadoes. Here’s the storm
timeline for the rest of Metro
Detroit. If you’re in Oakland
County start getting ready
because I fully expect you’ll
get a warning here before the
show is done. Storms continue to
keep popping over the next hour
. The strongest storms are now
here, and they will stay here
until about eight o’clock
tonight. Moving from west to
east. So if you’re on the East
side, you have a little bit
longer and again. The storms
have slowed down just a little
bit. They were they were moving
pretty quickly about 40 MPH now
down to 2025. But definitely
heads up for Oakland County and
then also moving into, um Into
Wayne County and Macomb County
as well. If we can just go back
to the radar for a second here,
I want to go back and show you
those two cells that we are most
concerned about. There you go in
Howell. I’m going to zoom it out
for you. So here’s the East
side. Sterling Heights. Warren
Hamtramck. You’ve got a little
bit of time, but if you’re right
in this area in Oakland County
walled Lake Novi Pontiac down
into parts of Wayne County,
Northville, Plymouth, Novi
Canton, two cells that we’re
watching. Itching very, very
closely one in Livingston County
, one in Washington County. For
those of you just joining us, we
have two severe thunderstorm
warnings. One is for Livingston
County. That one expires at 5 30
, the one for Washington County
, right around the an arbor area
north into Webster that is in
effect until 5 45. But we’re
watching very, very closely. No
tornado warnings right now. But
as we’re looking at that
velocity, we are seeing some
signs that there could be
potential rotation within those
cells. If that happens, we’ll
get really tight and do some
street level mapping so you’ll
know exactly who is affected by
that area. I’ll have more in
tracked these storms coming up
in just a couple of minutes and
we’ll see you in a few. We are
uncovering troubling new
information tonight into the d
dot bus driver behind the wheel
in a deadly crash Geraldine
Johnson has been involved in
seven other crashes before This
latest deadly crash in downtown
Detroit. Judge calling her a
danger at her arraignment. She
was then given $100,000 Bond.
Sean Lee has been digging into
that record of her. Sean, You’ve
been asking the city about this
if you had a response from them
yet. A statement from D dots
director. We’ve been asking to
interview Dedaj director since
yesterday when we started
learning about the driving
history that was now pulled from
Johnson from the state that
includes one fatal accident. Now
she has two fatal accidents on
her record. Still unable to
reach the director did put out a
statement at 4 22. We will get
to that, however. Others are
speaking up tonight. Take a
look. Yesterday and today we’re
asking the city were as indeed
dot Why was she Miss Johnson
allowed to drive a bus? We’re
not getting an answer on that.
They say it’s all under review.
What do you say? The city of
Detroit, Unfortunately, isn’t
going to be truthful with you on
this. They will not answer this
question. Because the only
truthful answer that they can
give you will fully incriminate
the systemic failure that led to
the death of Ms Power. Attorney
James Harrington at five Girl
law is well aware of that
driver, Geraldine Johnson video
from her d dot bus in 2015 shows
Joey Davis getting off her bus
getting his bike than Johnson
hit him killing Mr Davis today.
Paul Johnson State records
showing her license to drive a
bus was then suspended, then
restricted. At one point, the
state deemed her unqualified
city and asking why was allowed
to keep driving a bus. So far,
we have not gotten an answer
been allowed to drive a bus?
Absolutely not under no
circumstances. Two weeks ago,
Janice Bauer had the signal and
was in a crosswalk. Downtown
Johnson hit her with her d dot
bus, killing her. Johnson’s
neighbors in Harper Woods asking
the same question. How in? Why
was she allowed to be on the
road? And she is still trusted,
too, You know. Transport people
who are in a category that
really need to depend on her or
her driving skills and to me
that that’s scary. 18 she’s
involved in a crash in 2019.
She’s involved in two crashes in
2020. She’s involved in another
crash in 2021, another crash
2022 another crash and in 2023,
Unfortunately, she kills Ms
Power is that acceptable? It’s
not. Back your life. Like I
said, We just got a statement
now at 4 22 from the Director of
Transit Michael McHale, Oglesby
says, quote Since this terrible
action that occurred two weeks
ago, we have been engaged in a
full review of Ms Johnson’s
record and all related
departmental policies and
procedures. Once that review is
completed, we will be better
positioned to respond to
questions about her driving and
employment history with d dot
Following the accident, Mr
Johnson was terminated will
continue to ask the questions.
Hopefully, get those answers
back to you and Sean, I believe
you’ve seen that and watch the
video of that 2015 crash. We
did, and it’s incredibly
disturbing after the Mr Davis is
right in front of her bus,
getting his bike off and the bus
goes right over him, and instead
of radioing or calling 911, the
driver panics for a good minute
or so screaming. No one is
helping Mr Davis. That kind of
goes back to the training
situation. Busses are equipped
with multiple cameras. This
latest fatality. Also all on
camera. Alright. Sean. Other
news tonight the parents of a
six year old boy who shot his 11
month old brother are now facing

of that he has had other

journey. Part of what troubles
me. Here is the allegation 28

investigators say that Lolita’s
six year old son somehow got
ahold of a loaded gun. That was
sitting up high on a shelf and
somehow shot the baby twice once
in the face and once in the
shoulder, then saw him stand up

was on the black thing and the
food area. He then got down from
the chair and he had shot the
