It’s Severe Weather Awareness Week thru Saturday, and Michigan officials
are hosting a statewide tornado drill today. The voluntary event, set for 1 p.m.—just a day before spring begins—aims to get everyone ready for the season’s wild weather. Tornadoes hit Michigan about 15 times a year, often in late spring and early summer, leaving only 10-15 minutes to react. The Michigan State Police and MIREADY are urging locals to join in, stressing that preparation now can save lives later when storms strike.

Carmello Wilson, 17, was sentenced to 22 to 32 years in prison for the ’23 murder of 19-year-old Curtis “KC” Cureton in Flint. Wilson, who was charged as an adult despite being 15 at the time, shot Cureton in a parking lot near the intersection of Lapeer Avenue and 13th street, after claiming he acted in self-defense. Wilson said he feared Cureton, but the prosecution pointed out contradictions in his story, including photos where he was seen playing with a gun.
