Michigan Flooding
There are news reports of severe flooding in, I believe, central Michigan. Are any of you Michiganites affected?

Wildman is smack in the middle of it. He is on higher ground and OK, but limited travel due to flooded roads.

Midland MI. is home of Dow Chemical.
I work in Midland MI, 3 miles from the river. There are several small lakes in northern MI. After 8ins of rain in 48hrs. a Dam let go. Here are photos of the dam that broke on Wixom lake north west of Midland.
You can see a flood gate on the left in photo 2 for normal release of water down river. The levee/dam to the right of the flood gate gave out. This water rushed down river to another lake call Sanford lake.

Sanford lake has a spillway that was getting to much water and officials thought it might giveaway and evacuated downtown Midland. Today the water is slowly going down. Below are photos from the area.
