Morning Chit Chat: Sandy aftermath

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - West Michigan experiences some windy, rainy weather and harsh waves as Hurricane Sandy makes damage on the east coast. Thousands of people out east experienced power outages, and hundreds of blood drives had to be canceled due to safety concerns. Here in West Michigan, the American Red Cross is holding blood drives on November 1 and November 2 to help with storm relief. We're one day away from Halloween, and Terri and Rachael are preparing for the special eightWest Halloween show! They checked out the Kostume Room, where there are still thousands of costumes available to rent and buy, as well as a plethora of wigs and masks. Make sure to stop by for a last-minute costume - The Kostume Room is open October 30 and 31 until 9 p.m. Tune in to eightWest on Halloween to see Rachael's and Terri's top-secret costumes revealed!
