WINDY OUT THERE, BRIAN. I MEAN,
MY WALK IN THIS MORNING DOWNTOWN
WAS JUST A WIND TUNNEL. YEAH,
THAT’S RIGHT. GREAT. AND PRIYA.
WENDY IS GOING TO BE THE STORY
OF THE DAY TODAY WAS ALREADY
BREEZY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. IT’S
GOING TO GET MUCH MORE WINDIER
AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT OUR
SATURDAY BECAUSE OF THAT THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN
DETROIT HAS ISSUED A WIND
ADVISORY FOR ALL OF SOUTHEASTERN
MICHIGAN 11 A.M. THIS MORNING
UNTIL NINE PM TONIGHT AS WIND
GUSTS COULD ECLIPSE 50 MILES AN
HOUR AS WE HAD FROM THIS

TOWER CAME FROM WINDSOR LOOKING

CLOUD COVERING OVERNIGHT LAST
NIGHT UNDER EARLY THIS MORNING
WIND SPEEDS STARTING OFF THIS

SOUTH ANYWHERE FROM FIVE TO
UPWARDS OF 15 MILES AN HOUR, AND
THAT’S ALSO KEPT OUR

AND FORECAST COMING UP IN JUST A
FEW MINUTES. ALRIGHT THANKS.
BRIAN LEGAL FIGHT IS BREWING IN
DEARBORN, PITTING NEIGHBORS
AGAINST A NEW HOMEOWNER.
JACQUELINE FRANCIS REPORTS. THIS
FEUD ALL HAS TO DO WITH FLOODING
CONCERNS TO BREAK IT DOWN FOR
YOU. THE NEIGHBORS AND THIS SIDE
OF THE STREET ARE CONCERNED THAT
THE NEW HOMES BEING BUILT ACROSS
THE STREET IS GOING TO CAUSE
THEIR HOUSES TO FLOOD MORE. ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET.
THE ATTORNEY FOR THE NEW
HOMEOWNER SAYS THERE’S NO
EVIDENCE TO PROVE IT AND THE
CITY IS ALREADY APPROVED THE
PLANS IT’S A NEIGHBORHOOD
DISAGREEMENT THAT HAS A DEARBORN
COMMUNITY DIVIDED THIS GROUP OF
LONGTIME CHERRY HILL NEIGHBORS
TAKING LEGAL ACTION CONCERNING A
NEW HOUSE BEING BUILT ACROSS THE
STREET. MAKE SURE HADI THE NEW
HOMEOWNER NAMED IN THE SUIT IS
BUILDING ON A PLOT OF LAND
PURCHASED FROM THE NEARBY CHURCH
. THE STORM WATER FROM THE NEW
HOME WILL DRAIN INTO THE CHERRY
HILL SEWER, AND IT WILL TAKE ALL
OF THE WATER ON 1.8. ACRES OF
LAND AND PUT IT INTO THE STORM
SEWER IN FRONT OF OUR HOME.
WE’VE ALREADY HAD PREVIOUS
ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE
FLOODING WITHIN OUR BASEMENTS.
THEIR FEAR IS THIS WILL ONLY
EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM,
ACCORDING TO AN EXPERT HIRED BY
THE PLAINTIFFS WERE GOING TO
FLOOD MORE OFTEN AND THE VOLUME
OF WATER INSTEAD OF INCHES IN
OUR BASEMENT. IT’S GOING TO BE
EVEN HIGHER. HARDY’S ATTORNEY
SAYS. THERE’S NO EVIDENCE TO
PROVE IT. THEY’RE EXPERT REALLY
PROVIDES NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
THAT THE COURT CAN RELY ON AND
THAT’S WHY WE’RE GOING TO WIN
THIS CASE. WHEN ASKED WHY THE
DEFENDANT IS SUPPOSED TO BE
ROUTING THE STORMWATER TO
MILITARY STREET, FIRST REASON IS
OUT OF PRINCIPLE. THE HOUSE AS
THE CHERRY HILL HOUSE. AND HE
HAS EVERY RIGHT THE WAY THEY DO
IT TO TAP INTO THE CHERRY WHOLE
LINES. THE SECOND REASON IS IT’S
MORE COSTLY. IT’S WAY MORE
COSTLY AND IT’S COST PROHIBITIVE
. THE CITY OF DEARBORN WAS ALSO
NAMED IN THAT LAWSUIT. WE
REACHED OUT TO THEM FOR COMMENT,
BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK
REPORTING IN DEARBORN,
JACQUELINE FRANCIS LOCAL 4. PLAN
