MORE MOVE IN BY THE END OF THE WEEK. DETAILS IN YOUR FULL FOREWARN FORECAST COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. >> ALL RIGHT. BRIAN. WELL, HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. PARTS OF METRO DETROIT ARE STILL DEALING WITH A MASSIVE CLEANUP AFTER SEVERE WEATHER ROLLED THROUGH OUR AREA. LOCAL FOUR'S SHANTE PASSMORE IS LIVE IN PLYMOUTH, RIGHT NOW, WHERE IT'S BEEN A VERY BUSY DAY TRYING TO GET THINGS BACK TO NORMAL. HOW ARE THINGS LOOKING RIGHT NOW, SHANTE? >> YOU KNOW, STILL AT THIS HOUR? THE CLEANUP IS STILL NONSTOP. MOST OF THE ROADS HERE IN PLYMOUTH ARE CLEAR. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FEW EXCEPTIONS. NOW, AS FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY, THAT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY. AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHY. BECAUSE YOU'LL SEE. OCCASIONALLY THERE IS SOME CAUTION TAPE. AND THE REASON BEING, IT'S HARD TO MAKE OUT RIGHT NOW AS NIGHTFALL IS HAPPENING, IS BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME DOWNED LINES, EITHER MIXED WITH DOWNED TREES OR TREES THEMSELVES. AND TONIGHT I AM STILL LEARNING THAT PEOPLE ARE WITHOUT POWER, NO POWER, LITTLE TO NO CELL SERVICE, AND A LOT OF DOWNED TREES AND LINES. SINCE DAYBREAK, CREWS ARE WORKING OVERTIME TO GET THE ROADS AND HOMES CLEARED. JOE MASLAK WALKED OUT OF HIS HOUSE TO FIND THIS, A BRANCH NARROWLY COMING CLOSE TO HIS HOME. >> WE HEARD AND FELT A SHAKE ON OUR BEDROOM FLOOR AND SAW OUT THE WINDOW THAT WE HAD A TREE BRANCH DOWN THROUGH THE NORTHWEST PART OF PLYMOUTH. >> YOU COULDN'T GO ON A STREET WITHOUT SEEING A CHIPPER OR A SAW IN ACTION. LISA CARNEY'S PROPERTY RECEIVING A DOUBLE WHAMMY HER FRONT YARD WITH SPLINTEREDREES. THE GARAGE, A TREE ON IT. DO YOU KNOW IF IT'S OKAY? >> YOU KNOW IT'S DAMAGED, BUT IT'LL BE ABLE TO BE FIXED, I BELIEVE. I MEAN, IT'S DEFINITELY CRUSHED. >> WITH THE WIDESPREAD SCENE OF DOWNED TREES, EXPERTS SAY THE WIND MAY BE PARTLY TO BLAME. A LOT OF THESE TREES ARE VERY OLD, OVER 100 YEARS OLD. >> OBVIOUSLY. AND THE TALLER THEY GET, THE WEAKER THEY GET. >> ANOTHER FACTOR AN OVERLY SATURATED LAWN CAN ONLY HOLD SO MUCH WATER. TONIGHT PEOPLE ARE PREPARING TO POSSIBLY BE WITHOUT POWER. >> WE'LL SEE HOW LONG IT'S OUT. THINGS GET INTERESTING HERE, AND PROBABLY SIX HOURS. >> ALL RIGHT. THERE YOU GO. AND NOW WE ARE STARTING TO SEE SOME OF THOSE FIRST FEW RAINDROPS HAPPENING THIS EVENING. RIGHT NOW PEOPLE ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE CITY HAS ASKED THEM TO DO, WHICH IS BASICALLY BRING YOUR DEBRIS TO THE CURB. THE CREWS WILL HANDLE THE REST. BUT STILL, AT THIS HOUR, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF CLEANUP TO D
