We had 6 inches of rain in Detroit. All major highways are closed and many main roads. Cars stranded and submerged underwater. MDOT say it going to take months to repair infrastructure on highways that had 14 feet of water sitting for 2 days. Today its finally starting to receed. Thousands of basements flooded with 4 feet of water or more.
It's very sad people losing their belongings and cars are destroyed. We are fortunate because we sold our house in June. Neighbors told us our basement had 4 feet of water. We got out in the nick of time. Insurance companies are not paying for damage done to homes. It's awful.
Tom & I were driving when the rain came, instant flooding. I begged him to turn around and go home, which he did. Had we of drove one more mile our car would have been submerged under water. Scary, but we're lucky to have made it home. We never saw anything like it.
