About 11 months ago, a devastating ice storm hit northern Michigan. Trees snapped. Utility poles snapped. Roads were impassible. Hundreds of thousands of people were without power, and a lot of them took shelter at warming centers.
After the roads were cleared and the ice melted and the lights came back on, the recovery began. It still continues. Climate solutions reporter Vivian La tells us about a storytelling event this week where people shared their tales of the storm.
And Ellie Katz brings us the story of a Purple Heart medal separated from the family of its recipient and, hopefully soon, returned back to them. Read the full story.
