THESE ARE THE WORST DAYS YOU
COULD POSSIBLY HAVE IN OUR
BUSINESS. OUR JOB NOW IS TO MAKE
SURE WE KEEP EVERYBODY ELSE
SAFE. MAKE SURE YOU TALK TO YOUR
CHILDREN ABOUT STAYING AWAY FROM
WIRE DOWNS. A GOOD ROLE OF THUMB
IS THINK ABOUT A SCHOOL BUS STAY

OUT AND TAKE CARE OF IT. THE
EIGHT YEAR OLD IS IN CRITICAL
CONDITION AT CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

ELECTRICAL LINE. DTE SAYS IT’S
WORKING TO SECURE 3300 DOWN
POWER LINES AND EVERYONE NEEDS
TO STAY AT LEAST 20 FT. AWAY
FROM THOSE LINES. MORE THAN
260,000. DTE CUSTOMERS ARE STILL
WITHOUT POWER 80% SHOULD BE
RESTORED BY THE END OF THE DAY
THURSDAY. PLUS, THERE ARE BOIL
WATER ADVISORIES FOR WALL LIKE
COMMERCE TOWNSHIP IN NOVI
BECAUSE OF A POWER OUTAGE AT
GREAT LAKES WATER AUTHORITY
STATION, RESIDENTS SHOULD BOIL
WATER FOR DRINKING AND COOKING.
ALL RIGHT, LET’S GET BACK TO THE
CITY OF RICHMOND. WE’RE SEEING
SO MANY TREES TOSSED AROUND WITH
MANY LANDING ON HOUSES AND
BUSINESSES. IT’S THE AFTERMATH
OF A SCARY NIGHT FOR THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE. MALONEY HAS BEEN IN
THE AREA SINCE EARLY THIS
MORNING, ROD, WHAT HAVE PEOPLE
BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT THE PAST
24 HOURS? WELL WHAT THEY’RE
SAYING IS THAT ABOUT 6 30 LAST
NIGHT THINGS WENT FROM, YOU KNOW
, VERY CALM AND QUIET TO SERIOUS
PROBLEMS. NOW TAKE A LOOK BEHIND
ME. YOU SEE THE TREE HERE? AS
YOU LOOK DOWN IN THE BACK, YOU
CAN SEE TREES THAT ARE SPLIT
ABOUT HALFWAY UP. NOW THAT’S THE
SCENE ALL ACROSS RICHMOND, AND
WE’RE GOING TO SHOW YOU NOW. OUR
DRONE FOR VIDEO. MIKE ARSENAL IS
ER BUDDY RUNNING THE DRONE. WENT
INTO DOWNTOWN RICHMOND, AND YOU
CAN SEE THE SWATH OF DAMAGE.
THAT’S A MATTRESS STORE. IT’S
ACTUALLY A MATTRESS WAREHOUSE
THAT HAD ITS ROOF TORN OFF. AND
THEN AS YOU LOOK PAST THAT YOU
SEE A NUMBER OF HOUSES WITH HAVE
TREES ON THE ROOFS. THEY ALSO
HAVE POWER POLES ARE TILTED ON
THEIR SIDE WIRES DOWN
EVERYWHERE. THE TREE SERVICES
HAVE BEEN EXCEPTIONALLY BUSY ALL
DAY HERE AND WHAT WE KEEP
HEARING FROM PEOPLE IS THAT THEY
THINK HERE ON THE GROUND. IT’S A
TORNADO, BUT WE CALLED THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE THIS
AFTERNOON. THEY’RE CALLING IT A
GUST NATO NOW IF YOU’VE NEVER
HEARD OF THAT, AND I HADN’T IT’S
INSTEAD OF THE TORNADO GOING
AROUND IN A CIRCLE UP IN THE AIR
. IT’S ACTUALLY ON THE GROUND
WHERE IT DOES CIRCULAR MOTION.
AND THIS IS, YOU KNOW ONE OF
THOSE THINGS THAT THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE IS ACTUALLY DOES
HAPPEN. THEY THINK IT’S MORE
STRAIGHT LINE WINDS WITH THAT
GUS NATO COULD HAVE BEEN AN
ISSUE. LET’S HEAR FROM WHAT THE
RESIDENTS AND WHAT THEY WERE
SAYING ABOUT WHAT THEY SAW LAST
NIGHT. MY ONE GRANDSON SAID,
POP. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
THE LIGHTS ARE GOING OFF. AND I
KNEW SOMETHING WAS COMING ON. SO
THE WAY THAT THE WIND WAS
SHIPPED IN AND THE FRONT DOOR
CLOSED ON ITS OWN. YOU CAN SEE
ITS PATH. I MEAN, LIKE YOU LOOK
AT THAT SIDE. IT JUST IT’S
AMAZING THAT THE DAMAGE AND THEN
IF YOU DRIVE DOWN MAIN STREET
AND STUFF, I MEAN PEOPLE’S
PLANTERS ARE STILL INTACT. AND
THEN THERE’S THIS PATH OF
DESTRUCTION. DO YOU THINK IT WAS
A TORNADO OUT HERE WAS CIRCULAR
. I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT WAS, BUT
IT WAS STRONG AND CIRCULAR STUFF
BLOWING AROUND. THIS TREE WAS
RIGHT HERE. THAT WAS EIGHT FT
WIDE TREE THAT TWISTING SNAPPED.
SO THEY GIVE YOU THE BETTER
EXPLANATION OF THE GUS NATO.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING IS THAT IT’S
CIRCULAR MOTION ON THE GROUND
AND NOT UP IN THE AIR. SO THAT’S
KIND OF WHAT WE WERE HEARING
FROM THE PEOPLE AND TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS HOUSE BEHIND ME HERE, A
RATHER INTERESTING STORY THAT
WILL LET YOU IN ON COMING UP ON
LOCAL 4 NEWS AT FIVE REPORTING
LIVE IN RICHMOND ROD MELONI,

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS TALKING
UP HIS PLANS FOR CRIME
PREVENTION AND A KEY PANEL
GROUND FOR THE MIDTERM ELECTION.
THE PRESIDENT WANTS MORE
PROGRESS ON GUN CONTROL.
PRESIDENT IS PUSHING TO RESTORE
A BAN ON ASSAULT STYLE WEAPONS.
HE SPOKE A SHORT TIME AGO IN
WILKES BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA.
THERE ARE HEATED RACES FOR BOTH
GOVERNOR AND SENATOR IN THAT
STATE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO PAINT DEMOCRATS AS
WEAK ON CRIME. THE PRESIDENT
ALSO SPENT TIME REJECTING THE
IDEA OF DEFUNDING THE POLICE.
WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC SAFETY
TO THIS NATION, THE ANSWER IS
NOT DEFUND THE POLICE. IT’S FUND
THE POLICE. FUND, THE POLICE.
WHILE THE PRESIDENT WILL TRAVEL
TO PENNSYLVANIA TWO MORE TIMES
IN THE NEXT WEEK, UNDERSCORING
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STATE THIS
COMING NOVEMBER, SO HERE IN
MICHIGAN COVID CASES ARE DOWN
SLIGHTLY FROM LAST WEEK’S UPDATE
THE STATE REPORTING OR THE
19,000 NEW CASES OVER THE PAST
SEVEN DAYS THAT BREAKS DOWN TO
AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT 2700 PER DAY
WE LOST ANOTHER 129 LIVES. THIS
WEEK, A CDC PANEL IS EXPECTED TO
VOTE ON WHETHER TO AUTHORIZE
UPDATED COVID BOOSTER DESIGNED
TO PROTECT AGAINST THE ORIGINAL
STRAIN AND THE OMICRON VARIANT
TONIGHT AT 6 30 NIGHTLY NEWS
TAKES US INSIDE VISORS KALAMAZOO
PLANT FOR LOOK AT HOW THE
COMPANY IS GETTING READY FOR
THAT NEXT STEP. DEALING WITH THE
COVID PANDEMIC AND COMMUNITY
VIOLENCE HAS CREATED SO MUCH
GRIEF FOR SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE
FOUND OUT ABOUT AN IMPORTANT
COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE
DETROIT TEACHER AND A STUDENT
POLITICS AND SHOWS US HOW THE
WORDS OF A TEACHER IN THE
ILLUSTRATIONS OF A YOUNG STUDENT
AIMED TO HEAL. GOOD MORNING. I
WILL BE WALKING YOUR CLASS INTO
THE BUILDING TODAY. SO PLEASE
FOLLOW ME THE QUESTION YOU MAY
ASK YOURSELF WHEN MASTERS MATH
AND SCIENCE TEACHER VON CAMPBELL
READS FROM HER BOOK, MRS
PERIWINKLE PURPLE IN MY RAINBOW
IS WHO’S BEING HEALED THE AUTHOR
OR THE STUDENTS? THE ANSWER IS
BOTH PAUSED, TOOK A DEEP BREATH
AND SAID. YOUR TEACHER, MISS
PERRY WINKLE DIED YESTERDAY.
DURING THE START OF THE COVID
PANDEMIC, MRS. CAMPBELL STARTED
A PROJECT TO KEEP STUDENTS
CONNECTED AND COMFORTED. SHE
READ 100 BEDTIME STORIES
VIRTUALLY. BUT LAST YEAR IN THE
FIRST DAYS, THE DETROIT PUBLIC
SCHOOLS COMMUNITY DISTRICT
RETURNED TO IN PERSON LEARNING.
THIS IS CAMPBELL FOUND OUT HER
FRIEND AND TEACHING PARTNER.
CANDICE TARTAR PASSED AWAY.
HEARTBROKEN SHE LOOKED INTO THE
FACES OF HER STUDENTS AND
REALIZED THEY WERE HEARTBROKEN
TO HER DESK WAS SET UP. ALL HER
BELONGINGS WERE SET UP ALL HER
POSTERS AROUND THE ROOM WITH HER
HANDWRITING ON THEM. IT HURT,
YOU KNOW IT HURT AND I MEAN, I
STILL CRY. SHE STARTED TO WRITE
TO HEAL HER HEART AND THEN
REALIZED HER STORY WAS A STORY
THAT COULD HELP CHILDREN. AND SO
SHE TURNED TO 15 YEAR OLD
DANIELLE KATE EVANS, A STUDENT
AT RENAISSANCE HIGH SCHOOL TO
ILLUSTRATE HER WORDS. THE
ILLUSTRATIONS ARE POWERFUL AND
DYNAMIC AS A CHILD AESTHETIC
SPEAKS TO OTHER CHILDREN. I WAS
SINGING ABOUT HOW HOW I WOULD
REACT SO FACIAL EXPRESSION I
WOULD MAKE WHEN I HEAR THAT
SOMEBODY I KNEW FOR A LONG TIME
PASSED AWAY. UM AND THAT’S HOW I
ENDED UP COMING UP WITH LIKE THE
EXPRESSIONS OF THE CHILDREN IS
NOW PUBLISHED AN ON SALE ON
AMAZON AND MRS CAMPBELL HAS DONE
THE CALCULUS CHILDREN LEARN
THROUGH EXPERIENCES. STORIES CAN
TOUCH THEIR HEARTS. WE LOST A
LOT OF PEOPLE THROUGH COVID
STUDENTS LOST, NOT JUST TEACHERS
. THEY LOST TEACHERS. THEY LOST
MOMS, DADS, COUSINS, RELATIVES,
FRIENDS AND EVERYBODY. AND A LOT
OF OUR KIDS JUST YOU KNOW, THEY
STRUGGLED TO DEAL WITH LOSS, BUT
THEY, TOO, NEED SOME STRATEGIES
TO ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT HOW
THEY’RE FEELING. MRS CAMPBELL
SAYS THAT THE BOOK IS REALISTIC
FICTION, AND I MEAN IT’S A
PRETTY QUICK AND EASY READ.
PLAIN LANGUAGE. REAL TALK, BUT
ALSO KAREN, HOW ABOUT KUDOS FOR
TURNING PAIN INTO ACTION BUT
ALSO ALLOWING A YOUNG STUDENT TO
BECOME A PUBLISHED AUTHOR AS
WELL, KAREN VERY IMPORTANT FOR
THAT STUDENT WITH THEIR SELF
CONFIDENCE. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY
THE STORY IN AND OF ITSELF SO
