OUR WINTER STORM WATCHES HAVE NOW BECOME WARNINGS SAYS THAT TROUBLEMAKING WEATHER SYSTEM TO
OUR SOUTHWEST MOVES CLOSER TO
METRO DETROIT. THANKS FOR BEING
WITH US HERE AT 11. I’M KIMBERLY
GILL DEVIN SCILLIAN SIGNIFICANT
SNOWFALL JUST HOURS AWAY. KIM
ADAMS TRACKING IT HAS BEEN FOR A
COUPLE OF DAYS NOW JOINS US NOW
WITH THE 41 FORECAST. KIM WELL
JUST WITHIN THE LAST 45 MINUTES,
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DID
UPGRADE AS WE ARE NOW UNDER A
WINTER STORM WARNING. WE WERE
UNDER A WATCH. A WARNING MEANS
THAT WINTER STORM IS NOW
IMMINENT. IT AND IT’S ALL ACROSS
METRO DETROIT. WE’VE BEEN
WATCHING EXACT TRACK 40 RADAR,
EVEN THOUGH THERE’S NOTHING TO
TRACK HERE. I’VE BEEN KEEPING
HIM CLOSE EYE ON THE SYSTEM THAT
IS NOW DOWN IN DALLAS. THIS IS
WHAT IS GOING TO BRING US THE
WINTER STORM AND ALL THE
MOISTURE. WE’RE EXPECTING
TOMORROW SO WE CAN LEARN A LOT
JUST BY LOOKING AT WHAT’S GOING
ON TONIGHT. THIS THUNDERSTORM
LINE GOES ALL THE WAY FROM
LITTLE ROCK DOWN TO HOUSTON, AND
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME STRONG,
EVEN SEVERE STORMS WITHIN THIS
LINE EVER SINCE. THIS AFTERNOON
HAS A LOT OF MOISTURE HERE.
CLOUD TOPS HAVE BEEN AS HIGH AS
35 38,000 FT. HALE HAS BEEN UP
TO THREE INCHES IN SOME OF THE
HEAVIER DOWNPOURS AND THE
HIGHEST CLOUD TOPS RIGHT NOW
WE’RE SEEING SOME HAIL JUST OVER
HALF INCH TO AN INCH. BUT WHAT
WE’RE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON IS
ALSO THE LEADING EDGE, WHICH
RIGHT NOW IS IN EVANSVILLE. SO
STILL A LONG WAY TO GO BEFORE IT
GETS HERE TO METRO DETROIT, SO
LET’S TIME THIS OUT FOR YOU.
TOMORROW MORNING FOR YOUR
MORNING COMMUTE. YOU’RE FINE.
IT’S ABSOLUTELY DRY BY NINE
O’CLOCK STILL DRY. THEN, AS WE
GO INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON,
LATE MORNING, EARLY AFTERNOON,
THAT’S WHEN THE MOISTURE COMES
UP FROM THE SOUTH. IT WILL
PROBABLY START AS RAIN IN MONROE
COUNTY AND THEN WORK ITS WAY
NORTH, MAYBE A BRIEF PERIOD OF
FREEZING DRIZZLE BUT QUICKLY
CHANGING OVER TO SNOW BY SIX
O’CLOCK RIGHT DURING THE HEART
OF THE EVENING RUSH HOUR. HEAVY
SNOW EXPECTED ACROSS ALL OF
METRO DETROIT. THE BIG QUESTION
FOR US THIS RAIN SNOW LINE IN
BETWEEN THE SNOW. THE RAIN, A
LITTLE PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN.
BUT IF THAT GOES A LITTLE
FARTHER TO THE NORTH, THAT COULD
CHANGE THE SNOW TOTALS. SPEAKING
OF SNOW TOTALS, I HAVE THOSE FOR
YOU COMING UP IN THE FORECAST IN
JUST A FEW MINUTES. SO TOMORROW
IS A 4WARN WEATHER ALERT DAY ALL
DAY LONG. WE’LL HAVE SPECIAL
COVERAGE FOR THE DURATION OF
THIS STORM. SO TUNE IN TOMORROW
AND ALL OF OUR PLATFORMS LOCAL 4
LOCAL 4 PLUS AND
CLICKONDETROIT.COM PARENTS IN
WYANDOTTE ALREADY UPSET ABOUT A
CELL PHONE TOWER BUILT ON AN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BECAME ENRAGED
TONIGHT WHEN THE SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT WOULDN’T ALLOW
THEM TO SPEAK AT A MEETING. MARK
MCDONALD IS LIVE IN WYANDOTTE
AND MARA. THINGS GOT SO CHAOTIC
THERE. POLICE WERE CALLED THAT’S
RIGHT, KIMBERLY. THE POLICE
CALLED AND MADE EVERYBODY LEAVE
. BOTTOM LINE IS THIS WHOLE
THING WAS BUILT AS AN
INFORMATIONAL MEETING. TRULY IT
NEVER GOT OFF THE GROUND. TAKE A
LOOK. THAT’S THE MOMENT
SUPERINTENDENT CATHERINE COST,
WALKED OUT OF THE MEETING TO
DISCUSS THE CELLPHONE TOWER,
WHICH HAS SPRUNG UP ON
WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
THE DISTRICT ENTERED INTO A DEAL
WITH T MOBILE TO ALLOW THE TOWER
IN RETURN FOR $1000 A MONTH.
PARENTS HAD NO IDEA WE AS A
SCHOOL TALK ABOUT MOBIUS PARENT
90 FOR US PARENTS WERE TOLD THEY
COULD NOT SPEAK TONIGHT BUT
COULD SUBMIT NO CARDS. THEY WERE
HAVING NONE OF IT. WHEN THE
SUPERINTENDENT LEFT THE ROOM,
PARENTS TOOK OVER IN ORDER THIS
RESTORED. THIS IS NOT WHERE ONE
OF THESE TOWERS IS SUPPOSED TO
EXIST. SO AS FAR AS I’M
CONCERNED. T MOBILE IS ALREADY
IN BREACH OF THEIR AGREEMENT
WITH US AND WE SHOULD TERMINATE
THIS CONTRACT IMMEDIATELY.
SUPERINTENDENT RETURNED AFTER
THE ADMINISTRATION CALLED THE
POLICE. MEETING ME DOWN. IT’S
NOTHING THAT WE CAN CONTROL.
THEY WANT EVERYONE ELSE, SO THEY
LEFT FOR US TO NOW, FIND OUT
WHAT THIS MONSTROSITY ON TOP OF
THE KIDS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS
WAS WAS TRULY SHOCKING. AND
THAT’S I THINK WHY YOU SAW SOME
OF THE ANIMOSITY HERE TONIGHT TO
COME IN HERE THINKING THAT WE’RE
GOING TO BE TALKING LIKE ADULTS
AND THEN TO BE TREATED LIKE A
CHILD WITH THESE LITTLE RULES
THAT WE HAD TO FOLLOW. IT’S JUST
RIDICULOUS AT THE SCHOOL CAN
JUST DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS OF
THIS MAGNITUDE. AND NOT ONE OFF
HAVE LIKE ANY PARENTS RESPONSE
TO ANYTHING. BACK HERE ALIVE.
IT’S UNCLEAR WHAT THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT IS GOING TO DO NEXT,
BUT PARENTS SAY THEY WILL PURSUE
LEGAL AVENUES. IF IT COMES TO
THAT. WE’RE LIVE AT WYANDOTTE
TONIGHT. I’M MARA MACDONALD
LOCAL 4. ALL RIGHT, MARA, THE
RECENT MASS POWER OUTAGES ACROSS
OUR STATE REENERGIZED THE PUSH
FOR PUBLIC POWER. WASHINGTON
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS RECENTLY
VOTED TO EXPLORE THE IDEA
COUNTYWIDE, AND TONIGHT, A
COALITION IN ANN ARBOR HELD A
VIRTUAL TOWN HALL ON IT.
JACQUELINE FRANCIS LIVE WITH
WHAT THIS WOULD LOOK LIKE
JACQUELINE. DE’VEON THIS WAS THE
CONVERSATION ABOUT GETTING THE
CITY OF BEING ARBOR IN POSSIBLY
EVEN WASHINGTON COUNTY AS A
WHOLE AWAY FROM DT, CREATING A
PUBLIC POWER UTILITY OF ITS OWN
AND GET THIS, THE FOUNDER OF THE
COALITION PUSHING FOR THIS
CHANGE WELL, HE STILL DOESN’T
HAVE POWER EIGHT DAYS LATER.
WHEN I OPENED UP THE CABINET I
SAW ELECTRICITY, OUR KING ALL
OVER THE PLACE SPARKS FLYING
MORE THAN A WEEK LATER, AND HE’S
STILL IN THE DARK, SPINNING
UNFORTUNATE COINCIDENCE FOR SURE
. UM PRESIDENT OF ANN ARBOR
PUBLIC POWER HAVE BEEN WORKING
ON THIS FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS.
NOW THE IDEA IS TO DITCH DT AND
CREATE ITS OWN CITY OR EVEN
COUNTYWIDE ELECTRIC UTILITY. HE
SAYS. PUBLIC POWER UTILITIES
TEND TO BE MORE RELIABLE AND
LESS EXPENSIVE. IT’S NEVER
REALLY BEEN MORE OBVIOUS THAN IN
THIS. MOST RECENT OUT IS JUST
HOW DIFFERENT RELIABLE BILITY.
IS BETWEEN PUBLIC POWER,
UTILITIES AND INVESTOR OWNED
UTILITIES LIKE DTE BEYOND THE
CITY OF ANN ARBOR. THE
WASHINGTON COUNTY BOARD
COMMISSIONERS HAS ALSO TAKEN AN
INTEREST. AND LAST NIGHT AT OUR
BOARD MEETING, I ANNOUNCED MY
PLAN. TO HOLD THE UTILITIES
ACCOUNTABLE AND TO EXPLORE THE
CREATION OF A WASHINGTON COUNTY
WIDE UTILITY COMMISSIONER YOUSEF
ROBBIE, SPEAKING DURING
THURSDAY’S VIRTUAL TOWN HALL,
OUTRAGED BY THE 60,000 OUTAGES
REPORTED IN WASHINGTON COUNTY
AFTER LAST WEEK’S ICE STORM.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IS NOT NORMAL.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IS NOT
ACCEPTABLE. WHEN WE PAY OUR
UTILITY BILLS. OUR EXPECTATION
IS THAT OUR LIGHTS WILL STAY ON
. WE ARE NOT PAYING OUR UTILITY
BILLS SO THAT SOME FAT CATS IN
WALL STREET COULD HAVE LOBSTER
DINNERS AND CAVIAR. THE
WASHINGTON COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS IS ALSO LOOKING
INTO HOTEL PRICE GOUGING THAT
TOOK PLACE THIS PAST WEEK DURING
THOSE POWER OUTAGES. IF YOU
WITNESSED THIS, YOU’RE ASKED TO
CONTACT THE COUNTY PROSECUTOR’S
OFFICE REPORTING LIVE IN
WASHINGTON COUNTY. JACQUELINE
FRANCIS LOCAL 4. ALL RIGHT,
JACQUELINE AND STILL TO COME
TONIGHT MORE OF MY ONE ON ONE
CONVERSATION WITH THE CEO OF DTE
ENERGY, JERRY NORCIA, YOU HEAR
WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT PRICE
INCREASES AND HOW CUSTOMERS
REACTING TO BEING OFFERED. $35
FOR THEIR TROUBLES DURING LAST
WEEK’S MASS OUTAGES STILL SAFETY
AND GUN VIOLENCE MEASURES WERE
ON THE AGENDA TODAY IN LANSING.
SPEAKERS AT TODAY’S STATE SENATE
HEARING INCLUDED THE SISTER AND
FATHER OF HANNAH SAINT JULIANA.
SHE’S ONE OF THE STUDENTS KILLED
IN THE OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL
SHOOTING. IT’S NOT A MATTER OF
IF IT’S A MATTER OF WHEN THIS IS
GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN, AND IT’S
GOING TO TOUCH YOU. DON’T WAIT.
WHY WASN’T OXFORD ENOUGH? WHY
AREN’T THE KIDS WHO ARE KILLED
EVERY DAY FROM GUN VIOLENCE
ENOUGH POWERFUL TESTIMONY, A
GROUP OF GUN OWNERS ALSO
GATHERED AT THE CAPITOL TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT OF TOUGHER GUN LAWS.
PASSING AT THE BOTTOM. I LOVE TO
SHOOT. WE SHOOT A LOT. AND I’VE
OWNED GUNS BY WHOLE LIFE. BUT IT
COMES DOWN TO THIS. SO UNLESS WE
WANT TO CONTINUE TO BURY OUR
CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, WE
HAVE TO VALUE THEIR LIVES MORE
THAN WE VALUED THE GUMS. AMONG
THE CHANGES DISCUSSED TODAY
SECURE STORAGE, BACKGROUND
CHECKS AND RED FLAG LAWS.
ANTOINE DAVIS AND THE U OF

PREGAME TOLD ME THEY’D LIKE TO
SEE PISTOL PETE’S RECORD FALL.
IT’S THE QUARTER FINALS OF THE
HORIZON LEAGUE TOURNAMENT. YES
IT WAS THE PENGUINS VERSUS THE
TITANS, BUT IT WAS ALSO ANTOINE
DAVIS VERSUS HISTORY. CRAZY
STORY ACTUALLY SAW IT ON TIKTOK
LIKE THE OTHER DAY. HE WAS LIKE
60 SOMETHING POINTS AWAY, AND I
DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS PLAYING HIM
UNTIL TODAY. BOBBY HURLEY BROKE
THE ALL TIME ASSIST RECORD. I
WAS A STUDENT AT DUKE AND AT

AT THE GAME WHERE ANTON BREAKS
THE POINTS RECORD SINCE I SAW
HER EARLY BREAK THE ASSIST
RECORD MARAVICH NC DOUBLE RECORD

TEXAS. NANA SAYS SHE WAS HOPING
FOR A WIN OVERALL. YOU KNOW WHAT

DELIVER. THEY ACTUALLY HAD AN
EIGHT POINT LEAD A SIX POINT
LEAD. THEY JUST COULDN’T CLOSE
DOWN THE STRETCH. NOW DAVIS
FINISHED WITH 22 POINTS, THREE
SHY OF THAT ALL TIME SCORING
RECORD. HE HAD A CHANCE TO TIE
IT AT THE BUZZER WITH A THREE,
BUT IT JUST WENT OFF THE RIM. I
CAUGHT UP WITH DAVIS POSTGAME

COLLEGE CAREER THAT’S COMING UP
IN SPORTS FOR NOW LIVE AT
YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY,
