[AI-Generated Summary] A severe summer storm swept across West Michigan, causing widespread power outages, property damage, a traffic pileup, and a lightning strike that critically injured an eleven-year-old boy. National and international coverage highlights the third day of Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North's contentious testimony in the Iran-Contra hearings, an Iranian attack on a U.S.-operated oil tanker in the Persian Gulf, a foiled plot involving former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, and political reforms in South Korea. Local segments detail animal rights protests at the 25th annual Wyoming Rodeo, community resistance to a proposed Highland State Park entrance, and the recovery of an injured peregrine falcon in Grand Rapids.
