One day after the Tuesday explosion that rocked the Orion Township community, we're learning that a man who was hospitalized is recovering well and is expected to be OK.

The explosion happened at the Keatington New Town Condominiums near Baldwin and Waldon roads.

Multiple buildings were affected. Eighteen units were completely destroyed across the complex and 12 others are being questioned for their stability. Miraculously, everyone is alive.

It is an absolute miracle, an absolute miracle if you have seen that scene that we are currently talking about no fatalities," Orion Township Supervisor Chris Barnett said.

A man and a woman were sent to the hospital with serious injuries, including Ann Oddens 80-year-old brother who she wants to keep anonymous.

Odden says her brother was working in his office and about to make a pot of coffee when he heard a loud boom. Everyday heroes stepped in to help guide him and others to safety.

The gentleman was standing in the middle of the house with his clothes got blown off and he was coherent. He talked and he said he wanted a chair, so we got him a chair and moved him from here to the street until the medics got here," neighbor Paul Kastran said.

Odden's brother was transported to a burn unit in Detroit where he is recovering. She said her brother lost everything in the explosion but is just grateful that he's alive.

He is doing exceptionally well. I mean, everybodys just shocked at how well hes doing because he shouldnt be here," she said.

The investigation into the exact cause is officially underway. The Orion Township Fire Department believes the cause could be a gas explosion, but it will take weeks to get clear answers.

"Our team is very slow and methodical to make sure that they dont miss anything. Theyre very thorough in their investigation. At the earliest, I say it will take a week for the initial, it may take three to four week for the full investigation," Orion Township Fire Chief Ryan Allen said.

Last week, we brought you the story of the financial struggles that plagued the Howell Nature Center after donations drastically decreased. After our story aired, the nonprofit says they have raised $90,000 of their $100,000 end-of-year goal.

On Thursday, we shared the story of how the perfect storm of rising costs, decreasing donations and less schools and groups taking field trips to the nature center left the organization struggling to retain staff and keep programs open.

They closed their Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic that takes in 2,000 injured animals a year in October due to the strain. By Friday, the nonprofit saw a significant increase in donations.

Friday alone brought in $48,000... I still get chills just saying that right now," Howell Nature Center CEO Tina Bruce said. And it took 824 people to get us there.

Hundreds of donations later, the nonprofit is now just $10,000 shy of their end-of-year goal.

"I left with like a sense of hope," Bruce said. In this case, its a perfect example of every little bit makes a huge difference."

Bruce says this gets them out of their financial hole, but they still have a long way to go to make sure they are never in this type of situation again. The Howell community says they are not surprised that everyone came together to support the nonprofit.

That it happened that quickly, that just shows how important community is and how powerful community is," Howell business owner Lauren Deaven said.

As a thank you, the nature center is opening to the public Saturday with no admission fees. They are now looking at rehiring staff and getting critical operations back up and running. The Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic will reopen by the end of this week.

An 85-year-old Lapeer County man lost nearly $25,000 that he took out in cash involving a Bitcoin scam. With his daughter's quick thinking and help from a bank teller, he got it all back.

Andrew Robinson has lived a full life and is enjoying retirement after working over three decades at General Motors in Flint. However, some of that enjoyment got taken away from him Oct. 17. Robinson of Oregon Township received an email congratulating him about his Bitcoin purchase. Robinson didn't even know what Bitcoin was.

Im not all that great with all these modern things," Robinson said.

In confusion, he called the number in the email to inform them he hadn't made the purchase. The man on the phone said if he didnt want the Bitcoin, he was going to have to give all $24,500 worth of the Bitcoin back.

The scammer got aggressive over the phone and remained on the line with him as he took out the cash at a ChoiceOne Bank.

The same day he took out the money, a man stopped by his home to collect it. Just as that was happening, Robinson's daughter, Lynne Markiewicz stopped by for a visit.

"While the scammer was in the driveway, Andrew's daughter happened to pull up in the driveway behind him and sensing something was amiss with the situation, she memorized this guy's license plate," Lapeer County Sheriffs Office Lt. Robert Wells said.

Robinson did not want to report the incident, but the bank teller felt something about the withdrawal was suspicious and reached out to the sheriff's office the next day. Deputies then visited Robinson and received additional information from Markiewicz.

With the license plate information, they were able to track down the suspect to the border of Detroit and Hamtramck near Joseph Campau Avenue and Carpenter Avenue.

The Lapeer County Sheriff's Office coordinated with the Detroit Police Department and got a search warrant for the suspect's home.

"Met them down there at the house and executed the search warrant and recovered the $24,500," Wells said. "All of it."

Wells says in his entire career, he has only been involved in one case where a scammed victim got all of their money back and this was it.

"Once that money's gone, it's gone. Generally, this was sort of a needle in a haystack type case," Wells said.

Now, Robinson wants to share his story to help others protect themselves from these types of scams.

Maybe somebody will take notice and be a little more careful. I know I am," he said.

Wells says the man in his 20s that was tracked down could be related to multiple scams across the state and part of a much larger operation. The sheriff's office is continuing to investigate the came.

Wells says to protect yourself, don't give out any personal information to people you do not know, watch out for unsolicited phone calls or emails and call police if anything feels suspicious.

The Howell Nature Center has been a staple of the community for decades, however, they've now had to close their esteemed Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic and have already begun to let go staff due to dire financial strain.

Howell Nature Center Senior Director of Wildlife and Education Laura Butler says that the center heavily relies on donations to operate and donations have significantly decreased. Because they are a nonprofit, they do not receive financial assistance from the city or state.

I think as a place that relies heavily on donations, when the economy is difficult for people, were affected. But in my time here, this is the most dire the situation has been," Butler said.

The Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic has had to stop taking in new animals due to the high cost of operations.

Its very heartbreaking because there are many animals that need our help," Butler said.

Chris Waters from Brighton has brought in multiple animals to the rehabilitation clinic throughout the years and felt so strongly about the work they do that she now volunteers there a few days a week.

She says the staff and volunteers are heartbroken that the center has had to cut back operations.

Im terribly worried about it. Its a great facility," Waters said.

Last September, a 12-year-old from Northville died after a tree fell on him during a school trip at the center. Butler says the incident has caused schools and families to pull out of planned trips, leaving a major revenue hole in the center's budget.

Most of our revenue comes from our camp programs that happen over the summer and then we also get some revenue from school groups that come out. We have seen less school groups come out this fall, so that has affected us," she said. Its been devastating for the entire community, our hearts are broken and they go out to the family and everyone affected of course. Its just a horrible tragedy.

The nature center hopes that people find it in their hearts to continue attending and donating, so they can hit their $100,000 goal by the end of the year to restart programs and reopen the rehabilitation center.

Theres a small admission fee. That helps if people come," Waters said. "I would be shocked if we cant save this place, if we cant come together as a community and save this place.

The nature center is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for children and free for children 2 years old and younger. There are also membership packages.

You can help the center by donating or by attending their community events like Breakfast with Santa or Winter at Hogwarts.
