THESE ARE FALSE REPORTS CALLED
IN, PRESUMABLY BY ONE PERSON,
USING A COMPUTER PROGRAM AND
AGAIN FALSE REPORTS BEING
CHECKED OUT, BUT RHONDA, THE
FEDERAL LEVEL WORKING WITH LOCAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM HERE IN
DETROIT, ALL THE WAY UP TO
PLACES LIKE OKLAHOMA IS TRYING
TO TRACK THE PERSON DOWN THE
HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING
THESE FALSE REPORTS. IN FACT, I
DID SOME CHECKING HERE IN
DETROIT. THE ONE NUMBER IS BEING
GENERATED HAS CALLED 911 HERE IN
THE CITY 55 TIMES JUST IN THE
PAST FEW WEEKS, SO VERY ACTIVE
INVESTIGATION MUCH MORE COMING
UP LATER ON LOCAL 4 BACK TO YOU
JUST SUCH A WASTE OF SUCH A HUGE
POLICE RESPONSE SHINE YOU
MENTIONED SWATTING FOR PEOPLE
THAT DON’T KNOW WHAT DOES THAT
MEAN? THAT IS SOMEONE CALLING IT
A FALSE REPORT TO GENERATE A
VERY AGGRESSIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT
RESPONSE. THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE
GETTING LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE
SCHOOLS, OF COURSE, HAVE TO TAKE
THIS SERIOUSLY. BUT IT’S CALLED
SWATTING. IT’S ILLEGAL AND THE
PERSON MAYBE EVENTUALLY GET
TRACKED DOWN AND CHARGED WITH
FELONIES FOR THIS. WELL LET’S
HOPE THAT THAT PERSON DOES GET
TRACKED DOWN BECAUSE IT’S
CERTAINLY CREATES A LOT OF FEAR
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE AS THAT
RUMOR SPREADS AROUND, AND PEOPLE
ARE WONDERING IF IT’S TRUE OR
NOT. ALRIGHT, SEAN. THANK YOU.
MEANWHILE MICHIGAN STATE POLICE
TROOPER TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL
AFTER A SCARY CRASH IN NORTHERN
OAKLAND COUNTY THIS MORNING.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE DAMAGE TO
THAT MSP PATROL CRUISER AFTER A
CRASH NEAR DIXIE AND TRIP AND
GROVELAND TOWNSHIP THAT’S RIGHT
NEXT TO MOUNT HOLLY MSP SAYS
THAT THE TROOPER WAS TAKEN TO
THE HOSPITAL WITH INJURIES TO
HIS LEG AND HIP CONDITION IS NOT
KNOWN AT THIS TIME. THE AT FAULT
DRIVER WAS ALSO TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL WITH MINOR INJURIES.
THE CRASH IS UNDER
INVESTIGATION. AND WE DON’T WANT
TO TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER,
BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN
OUTDOORS, YET, IT’S QUITE
UNUSUAL TO BE THIS WARM AND
GETTING WARMER FOR FEBRUARY. 7TH
THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AT DOWNTOWN
DETROIT THIS NOON. ALTHOUGH WE
DON’T HAVE A LOT OF SUNSHINE OUT
THERE. WE’RE CERTAINLY SEEING
TEMPERATURES AND THE MILD SIDE
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THAT’S
RIGHT, RHONDA AND SO A LOT OF
THE SNOW THAT WAS AT THE SURFACE
MELTING AND I LOVE THIS PICTURE
THAT WAS SENT IN THROUGH MY
PICKS ON CLICKONDETROIT’S DOT
COM OR 4WARN WEATHER APP OF THIS
CUTE LITTLE DOG LOOKING OUTSIDE
AND ANGIE IN DETROIT, SAID THE
DOG WAS ENJOYING THE WEATHER
FROM THE INSIDE. DON’T NEED TO
DO THAT TODAY WITH THE MILDER
CONDITIONS, HOWEVER, GOING INTO
THE LATER PART OF THIS WEEK,
WE’RE GONNA HAVE SOME MUDDY PAWS
ON HER HANDS AS RAIN SHOWERS
WILL ROLL THROUGH ALONG WITH THE
MELTING THAT WE’RE DEALING WITH
SO OUR TEMPERATURE TREND
TRENDING WELL ABOVE AVERAGE. LET
ME STEP ON THE WAY SO YOU CAN
SEE THAT AVERAGE HIGH OF 33. SO
EVEN THOUGH WE COOL OFF SLIGHTLY
TOMORROW, WE STILL GET INTO THE
LOW FORTIES AND LIKELY GETTING
IN THE FIFTIES COME THURSDAY
WITH SOME WIDESPREAD RAIN. THE
WARMER TEMPERATURES AT THIS HOUR
ARE BECAUSE OF THE SOUTHERLY
FLOW OF AIR THAT WE HAVE OUT
THERE. SO WE HAVE A SOUTHERLY
WIND GUSTS ANYWHERE BETWEEN
ABOUT 20 TO 36 MPH 36 MILE PER
HOUR WIND GUSTS BEING REPORTED
OVER AT CITY AIRPORT. AND SO AS
WE TAKE A LOOK OUTSIDE 47 HERE
IN THE CITY, SAIMON HOWELL 45 IN
PONTIAC, AND WE’RE IN THE MID
FORTIES OVER AN ADRIAN THE
CLOUDS AND RADAR. THOSE SHOWED
THAT THE RAIN SHOWERS WE DEALT
WITH EARLY THIS MORNING WELL OFF
TO THE EAST, BUT WE HAVE JUST A
LITTLE SLIVER PASSABLE SON
GETTING CLOSER TO FLINT AND
NORTH OF JACKSON, BUT OTHERWISE
OVERCAST SKIES ACROSS OUR AREA.
TODAY WE TOP OUT CLOSE TO WHERE
WE’RE AT RIGHT NOW, 48. AND WE
WILL TIME OUT THAT NEXT
RAINMAKER COMING UP IN YOUR FULL
FORECAST, RHONDA. ALL RIGHT,
ASHLEIGH. THANK YOU. WE’RE GOING
TO TURN OUR ATTENTION NOW TO
WHAT’S HAPPENING OVERSEAS.
DESPERATE RESCUE EFFORTS ARE
CONTINUING IN THE RUBBLE OF
SOUTHERN TURKEY AND NORTHERN
SYRIA AFTER A MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE
ONE AFTER THE OTHER ON MONDAY
MORNING. THE DEATH TOLL IS
CONTINUING TO RISE DAY BY DAY
NOW PAST 5000 PEOPLE, AND THAT
NUMBER IS EXPECTED TO GROW AS
THE SEARCH AND RECOVERY EFFORTS
CONTINUE TODAY. MATT BRADLEY
REPORTS FROM THE QUAKE ZONE IN
TURKEY. I’M HERE IN ADANA,
TURKEY, WHICH IS NOT SO FAR FROM
THE EPICENTER OF THIS
DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE THAT
STRUCK ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES
AND REALLY LEFT A SPRAWLING
FOOTPRINT THAT STRADDLED BOTH
TURKEY AND SYRIA EARLY YESTERDAY
MORNING, FOLLOWED BY AN ALMOST
AS DEVASTATING ALMOST AS
POWERFUL AFTERSHOCK JUST 12
HOURS LATER. NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE
BEHIND ME, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF
PEOPLE RESCUE WORKERS, SOME OF
THEM VOLUNTEERS, SOME OF THEM
PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE BEEN
WORKING ALL DAY YESTERDAY. ALL
NIGHT AND ALL DAY TODAY THEY
WILL LIKELY BE WORKING ALL NIGHT
AGAIN TONIGHT TRYING TO FIND
PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL TRAPPED
UNDERNEATH THIS RUBBLE OF THIS
BUILDING. SO NOW WE’RE SEEING
RESCUE CREWS, SOME 50,000 OF
THEM. DEPLOYED ALL AROUND TURKEY
TRYING TO DO THE SAME JOB
THEY’RE DOING HERE NIGHTMARISH
SCENES JUST LIKE THIS ONE.
THEY’RE NOT FINDING AS MANY
PEOPLE STILL ALIVE NOW MORE THAN
24 HOURS AFTER THAT ORIGINAL
SEISMIC STRIKE NOW WHAT THEY ARE
SEEING A LOT OF DEAD BODIES. THE
PROBLEM IS, OF COURSE, OVERNIGHT
, THERE WAS SUB ZERO
TEMPERATURES. SO EVEN THOSE WHO
DID SURVIVE BUT HAVE A HARD TIME

PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A HARD
TIME SURVIVING THIS NIGHT, SO
THE RESCUE WORK CONTINUES. AND
NOW HELP IS FINALLY ARRIVING
