Last night’s storms left over 300,000 Michiganders without power this morning. Meteorologists confirmed a tornado touchdown in Rockford, just north of Grand Rapids, and another in Ingham County that then swept through Livingston County.

Southeast Michiganders have been inundated in recent years with heavy rains, flooding, and outages time and time again. We hear from an emergency response manager on the ground in Ingham County, and then from folks working on long-term climate resiliency planning for the region. 

GUESTS:
Rob Dale, Deputy Emergency Manager for Ingham County’s Department of Emergency Management
Nina Ignaczak, reporter and editor for environmental news publication Planet Detroit
Kelly Karll, manager of Environment & Infrastructure for the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG)
