The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for an area including eastern Washtenaw County.
At 8:14 p.m. severe thunderstorms were located along a line extending from near Mount Clemens to near Brighton, moving southeast at 35 miles per hour. The warning is in effect until 9 p.m.
Wind gusts could reach 70 miles per hour and cause considerable damage to trees, roofs, outbuildings and mobile homes.
The warning advises people at Comerica Park to seek safe shelter immediately.
Sunny, with a high of 76 and low of 54 degrees. Mist in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon, clear in the evening,
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
