Severe flooding here in Michigan Our storm drains can't keep up with this week's rain. Hundreds of people are stranded at different locations in metro Detroit. Cars are sitting in several feet of water. A friend had to swim to an embankment to be rescued by a friend. We are fine, but a lot of YTs live in this area. I'm sure they would appreciate thoughts and prayers as they try to remove water from their basements on an attempt to save their things.

Keeping all of Detroit in my prayers that everyone is safe. |
Just awful. Will be keeping Detroit in my prayers. I sure wish you could send some of that water to Texas. We've been having such a long drought. |
Sending prayers to you and all those in the area. There sure are some weird storms this year, too bad all the rain hits one area and leaves others so dry. Stay safe, and update us whenever you can. |
Praying you and everyone stays dry and safe until this all ends. You take care, Crystal. In no small part thanks to you, my Tibbe is doing very well with his MVD on his hepatic diet and I'll never be able to thank you enough for helping us get him diagnosed and treated. But I've been meaning to write and ask you how little Ellie May is doing. I think about her so often. |
Ellie is good.:) Of course it is storming again. ‘We’re Worried’ Hackel Says, With Clinton River At Record-High Level And Rising CBS Detroit |
Crystal, I'm glad you and your home are safe. Praying for other YT'ers in the area. The pictures and videos are incredible! So much damage. :( |
we are OK in the Waterford area but boy did it rain hard again today, the photos on the news are so sad, this has been the heaviest rainfall in metro Detroit in like 100 yrs. My husband was sent home from work today, he works in Flint for GM and they could not use their computers because the servers are in Warren in the basements of the Tech Center and some of them are underwater. Hopefully they will be able to work tomorrow. Typical of GM none of the management could give them any type of hot line number to call before driving in tomorrow, you would think they would have systems in place in case of emergencies, so if they drive in and can't work GM still has to pay them for at least 4 hours, and you wonder why big companies have problems....... |
Donna, hHappy to hear you are okay too. Can't believe GM doesn't have any means to notify employees of office closures. |
Watching the 3rd link w/photos & videos..."Clifford has sunk!" how cwazzie is that? Some people are so brave, driving through all that water... Mother Nature can cause so much damage! Hope it doesn't get worse, stay safe! |
In one area on the highway by an underpass it was measured at 14 feet. The highway walls are holding the water on the road. Divers have been sent to swim over the highways and check for people. :( |
Good grief! What a horrible time everyone up there is going through! Divers swimming over the highways to check for people!!! I'm so glad, Crystal and Donna, ya'll are still safe. Keep us updated and the prayers continue. I'm so glad to hear little Ellie is good! :) Please stay safe! |
