License plate reading cameras are catching on in northern Michigan. Grand Traverse County has 28. Antrim County has eight, with the possibility of three more on the way.

Also: Youth homelessness numbers are down in northwest lower Michigan, despite adult stats holding steady. We'll hear from a local group working to end the crisis.

And how about those storms last night?

Reporting for this episode by Austin Rowlader, Maxwell Howard and WCMU's Emma George-Griffin.
