| episode_narrative | The fourth straight day with areas of heavy rain due to thunderstorms. One cluster of showers and thunderstorms persisted over Genesee County for much of the morning, dumping 2.65 inches of rain on Bishop Airport (after 2.26 inches the previous day). The resulting flood waters left just one lane of Interstate 75 open in each direction in Flint, and contributed to a major accident involving a large truck. Toward midday, more storms developed over metro Detroit. One observer in Shelby Township (Macomb County) totaled almost 8 inches of rain from the 26th through the 29th. With soils already saturated, flooding developed rapidly in Wayne and Macomb Counties. Roads were flooded and closed in Shelby Township and Warren. The Clinton River rose out of its banks in Utica, flooding a senior housing complex. Numerous basements were flooded in Eastpointe. In Wayne County, Interstate 94 at Livernois had high water for several hours, and many surface streets in Harper Woods were impassible. Parts of the Lodge Freeway and Interstate 94 were closed. |
