In Cheboygan, Michigan, there are no local journalists to report news.
Local residents are turning to Facebook for local news. (Personal note: argh, Facebook isn't a reliable or trustworthy resource to learn what's happening in your community.)
@redcrew As someone who doesn't live too far from Cheboygan in northern Michigan, this is nothing new in our rural communities. I rejoined Facebook just to get my local news and information from my local officials. Everything is done on Facebook and it is very concerning.
@redcrew So far not bad. My son however is struggling. Tree pollen is 'Very High' today and tomorrow. We turned the air on due to 80+ temps, but also to give some allergy relief. Benadryl and eye drops are our friends!
Updates about last night's tornados in southwest Michigan:
"Injuries, emergency officials said, included at least 20 people who were taken to hospitals and destruction to 176 homes in Kalamazoo County alone, a FedEx facility, and damage to other buildings in Portage and in St. Joseph and Branch counties."
