| episode_narrative | The same storm that brought heavy ice accumulations to southeast Michigan also brought flooding to many areas from Detroit south to the Ohio state-line. Total precipitation amounts ranged from 1.5 to nearly 2.5 inches across that area. Some of the higher totals included 2.27 inches at Tecumseh, 2.24 inches at Dundee and 2.18 inches at Morenci. I-94 was flooded in southern Macomb county between 9 and 12 Mile roads during the morning of the 14th. The Lodge freeway was also flooded in southern Oakland county during that time. Lakeshore flooding along the west shore of Lake Erie was most severe at Estral Beach, where strong easterly winds associated with the storm pushed 2 feet of water onto the shore. In addition, there was some minor river flooding throughout far southeast lower Michigan (details next section). |
