WML Thursday: Consumers Updates, the Box Office, & a Praying Mantis

Bill Steffen & Lauren Youngdahl join to talk about the affects of the storm and when people should expect power, April Butler joins to talk about what's new at the Box Office, and a praying mantis hangs outside of the 9th story window.

BIG 3

1  The power was out for more than 50,000 at one point last night. We’ll get the latest update from a Consumers Energy coming up. 

Numerous trees and power lines down according to the Grand Rapids Fire Dept. 

We heard talk of a tornado or two last night. So, what did we see?

Bill Steffen gives us the latest coming up and tells what we can expect over the next couple of days. 

Several closings and delays being reported. Check WOODRADIO.com

2 The White House gets a big victory on immigration from the Supreme Court. A Trump administration rule that dramatically limits the ability of Central American migrants to claim asylum can go into effect nationwide. 

The rule bars people traveling through Mexico from being able to claim asylum at the US border. 

3 The Trump administration is working to ban flavored e-cigarettes. A new policy is coming from the FDA that would require e-cigarette companies to get flavored versions of their products off the market. Health officials have argued that flavored e-cigarettes are too appealing to teens, and vaping use has skyrocketed among young people
