Fatal Crash in Waterloo Township | Lansing News

Monday’s sky’s got potential—strong to severe thunderstorms could roll in with powerful winds, heavy rain, and even large hail. Timing? Late afternoon into early evening.

Bottom line: scattered storms are likely, and they might get rowdy. Stay tuned—conditions could change fast.

The Michigan 7th District Democratic primary is exploding into a firestorm of ads, attacks, and grassroots energy as early voting begins. Progressive frontrunners Will Lawrence and Matt Maasdam are locked in a fierce battle, both targeted by PACs trying to undermine their credibility — Lawrence by questions over his investments, Maasdam by claims of GOP-backed smear campaigns. Bridget Brink is also under fire, but all three candidates are hitting the ground hard, knocking on doors and calling voters. With ad spending soaring and the race tightening, voters say they’re choosing based on values — not noise — as they head to the polls to decide who will represent their community.
