FINE
LOOKING FOR NEWS AT FIVE WITH FINE
LOOKING FOR NEWS AT FIVE WITH
THE WEATHER HIGH WINDS ALL
ACROSS THE REGION. YOU PROBABLY
WON’T LIKE WHAT’S EXPECTED TO
COME AFTER OF IT EITHER.
UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT NOW, DT SAYS
26,000 CUSTOMERS ARE WITHOUT
POWER ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN.
THAT’S DOWN FROM MORE THAN
50,000 EARLIER IN THE DAY, AND
WE HAVE REALLY BEEN ON A ROLLER
COASTER RIDE WITH THE WEATHER
THIS WEEK OR THE WHOLE COUPLE OF
MONTHS, ACTUALLY, LATELY, LET’S
START THINGS OFF HERE AT FIVE
WITH PAUL. THE WIND IS MOVING
OUT, PAUL. YES, WE KEEP JOKING
ABOUT EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE
KITCHEN SINK. I ALMOST FEEL LIKE
WE HAVE THE KITCHEN SINK THROWN
AT US TODAY. I MEAN,
FORTUNATELY, THESE GUSTS, THOUGH
, HAVE SETTLED DOWN INTO THE 20
TO 30 MPH RANGE IN MANY AREAS,
SO THAT’S CERTAINLY PIECE OF
GOOD NEWS. WE WERE GUSTING TO 50
MPH OR GREATER EARLIER ON TODAY
. ALRIGHT HERE’S OLD GLORY, MAN
. THOSE FLAGS ARE FLYING THERE.
STILL WE HAVE A LOT OF WIND OUT
THERE. BUT AGAIN NOT AS BAD AS
EARLIER TEMPERATURES HAVE
CRASHED. SOME OF US STARTED THIS
DAY IN THE SIXTIES, AND WE HAVE
NOW FALLEN INTO THE LOW TO MID
FORTIES AND YOU CAN IMAGINE
FEELS COLDER BECAUSE THAT BREEZE
STORM TRACKER FOR SHOWING JUST A
FEW SPRINKLES COUPLE OF VERY
LIGHT. LITTLE BATCHES OF
RAINDROPS ALMOST DON’T WANT TO
CALL THEM SHOWERS JUST VERY
LIGHT LITTLE BATCHES OF
SPRINKLES AND LITTLE RAINDROPS.
BUT THOSE ME THROUGH OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS IF YOU’RE HEADING
DOWN TO THE PISTONS GAME,
THOUGH, YOU’RE COMING DOWNTOWN,
YOU MAY ENCOUNTER A FEW OF THOSE
DROPS GETTING TO AND FROM THE
CAR. BUT TEMPERATURES FALLING
THROUGH THE EVENING YOU’LL BE IN
THE UPPER THIRTIES AND STILL
BREEZY. BY THE END OF THE GAME.
MAYBE A COUPLE OF FLAKES. WE’LL
TALK ABOUT YOUR WEEKEND FORECAST
COMING UP IN JUST TWO MINUTES,
GUYS. AND AS THE WIND STARTS TO
DIE DOWN, A WHOLE BUNCH OF
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE
DARK. EXACTLY RIGHT. CHECK OUT
THIS VIDEO FROM ST CLAIR
SHORE’S. WE’VE HAD SEVERAL TREES
DOWN THERE, AND THAT’S ONE OF
MANY LOCATIONS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
MICHIGAN. VICTOR WILLIAMS LIVE
ON THAT PART OF THE STORY. HE’S
ACTUALLY MADISON HEIGHTS WHERE
HE’S FOLLOWING EFFORTS TO GET
THE POWER BACK ON THERE, VICTOR
YES, DEVON AND PAMELA. THOUSANDS
AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE
STILL IN THE DARK NOTICE BEHIND
ME THAT DTE TRUCK OVER THERE
RIGHT UNDERNEATH THAT POWER LINE
THAT THEY HAD SPENT SOME TIME
WORKING ON TRYING TO GET PEOPLE
BACK RESTORED BECAUSE WE KNOW
THAT THIS IS LEADING TO A WHOLE
LOT OF OTHER PROBLEMS. AN EARLY
MORNING OF HEAVY WINDS. IT WOKE
ME UP THIS MORNING. YEAH IT WAS
BAD. IT WAS REALLY BAD. I
ACTUALLY GOT UP ONE TIME AND
LOOK, LOOK AT MY BACK WINDOW AND
STARTS FLYING AROUND LEADS TO A
DAY WITHOUT POWER FOR TENS OF
THOUSANDS, INCLUDING MOLLY PARKS
AND EDDIE DIAZ AND MADISON
HEIGHTS. SMOKE INVOLVED THERE
WAS ALMOST A LITTLE FIRE AND THE
TREES ARE ALL THE POWER LINE
HERE. EVERYONE IS OUT OF POWER.
I JUST GOT OUT THE SHOWER. AND
TWO MINUTES LATER, ALL THE
POWER’S GOING OUT. CREWS SPENT
HOURS TAKING CARE OF THAT ISSUE,
AS WELL AS A DOUBT UTILITY POLE
ON 12 MILE SET UP. AS A RESULT,
MOLLY NOW HAS TO WORK FROM HER
CAR. I JUST TURNED ON MY HAT
SPOT WITH MY PHONE AND I’VE GOT
MY PHONE PLUGGED INTO MY CAR AND
THAT’S HOW I’M WORKING TODAY. I
LET MY BOSS KNOW SHE WAS AWESOME
ABOUT IT. BUT JUST A WEIRD SET
OF CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT ANOTHER
BUSINESS. DEFINITELY MISSING OUT
ON WORK IS UNIVERSITY ELECTRIC
ON JOHN ARE YOU CANNOT SELL A
LIGHT WITHOUT WHAT WITHOUT
HAVING THE LIGHT ON, ALTHOUGH
THE COMPANY IS NOW OPERATING ON
A BACKUP GENERATOR. IT’S NOT
ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN THE DAILY
OPERATIONS. EVERYTHING IS
OPERATED BY POWER. YOUR PHONE,
YOUR COMPUTERS. EVERYTHING
DEPENDS ON PARK. MOLLY IS JUST
GLAD THAT NO ONE WAS HURT. AT
LEAST IN HER AREA. I’M JUST
HOPING EVERYONE SAFE BECAUSE I
HEARD FROM, I THINK ANOTHER
NEIGHBOR THAT SOMETHING WAS
SMOKING, SO I WAS JUST REALLY
WORRIED ABOUT EVERYONE. IT LOOKS
KIND OF LIKE A DISASTER OVER
THERE. AND WE’RE TOLD THAT POWER
SHOULD BE RESTORED FOR 95% OF
DTE CUSTOMERS BY TOMORROW
EVENING, AND MADISON HEIGHTS,
VICTOR WILLIAMS, HOPEFULLY
SOONER, ALL RIGHT, VICTOR FOLKS
THAT CLICKONDETROIT’S HAVE BUILT
SOME ONE STOP SHOPPING HERE TO
TRACK THE OUTAGES AND WEATHER
ALERTS ACROSS METRO DETROIT. YOU
CAN FIND THAT ON THE HOMEPAGE OF
CLICKONDETROIT’S .COM TODAY. THE
DEFENSE RESTED IN THE TRIAL OF
THE FOUR MEN ACCUSED OF PLOTTING
TO KIDNAP GOVERNOR WHITMER.
CLOSING ARGUMENTS ARE EXPECTED
TOMORROW AND THEN THE CASE GOES
TO THE JURY. BUT BEFORE THAT
HAPPENS, GOVERNOR WHITMER
WEIGHED IN WITH HER THOUGHTS AND
THE TRIAL THUS FAR. I SEE THE
HEADLINES AND THEY SEE ALL THE
KIND OF SOME OF THE DEPRAVED
THINGS THAT WERE TALKED ABOUT,
AND IT’S JARRING. I’M AN
ORDINARY PERSON IN AN
EXTRAORDINARY ROLE, SERVING IN
AN EXTRAORDINARY TIME. AND SOME
OF THE MOST EXPLOSIVE MOMENTS AT
THE TRIAL CAME TODAY. AS ONE OF
THE DEFENDANTS, DANIEL HARRIS
TOOK THE STAND. SHAWN LEY JOINS
US LIVE WITH THAT PART OF THE
STORY, AND SEAN THINKS ABOUT
PRETTY HEATED IN THERE. PAMELA
THIS WAS INTENSE FROM THE VERY
START. PROSECUTORS REMINDED THE
JURY THAT A MEMBER OF THE GROUP
NAMED DAN WAS SO ALARMED BY WHAT
HE WAS HEARING FROM THE GROUP.
HE WENT TO POLICE. HE ENDED UP
BECOMING AN INFORMANT THAT LED
TO THIS WILD EXCHANGE BETWEEN
THE PROSECUTOR AND THE DEFENDANT
ON THE STAND, DANIEL HARRIS.
PROSECUTOR JONATHAN ROTH QUOTE
DAN CHAPEL CALLED POLICE DANIEL
HARRIS INTERRUPTED BLURTING OUT.
HE’S A B WORD. ROTH TELL ME
ABOUT THAT, SIR HARRIS, TELLING
THE PROSECUTOR WHAT TO DO BY
SAYING NEXT QUESTION, ROTH? NO
TELL ME WHY HE IS A B WORD.
HARRIS HE GETS SCARED BY MEM
SCARED BY WORDS YET YOU SAY YOU
WENT TO IRAQ, BUT WORDS HURT YOU
AND SCARE YOU. EUROPE B WORD
WORDS ARE WORDS HARRIS FRAMED AT
ALL THE WEAPONS TRAINING WAS TO
KEEP HIS MILITARY SKILLS SHARP
TO BE READY IF EVERYTHING GOES
TO EXPLETIVE, SAYING, IF THERE’S
NO GOVERNMENT, THEY NEED TO
PROTECT THEMSELVES. HARRIS
ADMITS HE MADE EXPLOSIVES
BECAUSE, HE SAYS, BLOWING THINGS
UP WAS FUN. BUT A SECRET
RECORDING WAS PLAYED OF HARRIS,
TELLING THE GROUP THAT HE KNEW
SOMEONE WHO COULD MAKE
EXPLOSIVES FOR THEM. LEADING TO
THIS FIERY EXCHANGE. PROSECUTOR
ROTH YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A BOMB
MAKER? YES, HARRIS SAYING FBI
INFORMANT NAMED DAN TOLD HIM TO
DAN WANTED ME TO. YES ROTH WAS
ANGRY. YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A
BOMB MAKER, HE SAID HARRIS AT
DAN’S DIRECTION. JUDGE YOUNKER
STEPPED RIGHT IN SAYING EVERYONE
CAN TAKE IT DOWN A NOTCH. VARY
INTENSE THERE ON THE WITNESS
STAND ALL DAY LONG, DANIEL
HARRIS SAID. 20 TIMES.
ABSOLUTELY NO WHEN HE WAS ASKED
IF HE HAD AGREED TO KIDNAP
GOVERNOR WHITMER, PAMELA LIVE AT
SIX O’CLOCK. HARRIS TESTIFYING
IN HIS OWN DEFENSE, ACTUALLY HAD
SOME CHOICE. WORDS FOR THE
GOVERNOR WILL SHARE THEM WITH
YOU AT SIX, AND SEAN HARRIS IS A
MARINE WHO WAS HONORABLY
DISCHARGED. HOW AND WHY DID HE
GET INVOLVED WITH THE WOLVERINE
WATCHMAN? CAME BACK HOME TO
AUBURN HILLS WAS LIVING WITH HIS
MOM AND DAD. HE GOT A HIGH LEVEL
SECURITY JOB, HE SAID. THERE WAS
GOING TO SEND HIM TO DO AIRPORT
SECURITY IN KABUL, AFGHANISTAN,

TIME ON HIS HANDS. HE SAID. HE
WENT ON HIS PHONE FOUND THE
FACEBOOK PAGE OF GUYS AT THE
SAME VIEWS, AS HE DID ALRIGHT,
SEAN. THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT.
