| episode_narrative | A brief warm spell following a record cold winter resulted in an unusually significant ice break up on Delta County streams and tributaries on the 11th. The unusually thick ice chunks resulted in several ice jams along the Tecoosh, Rapid, and Escanaba Rivers with the most significant along the Escanaba River north of Dam #3.||Water backing up behind an ice jam along the Tecoosh River near the town of Rapid River threatened a house but the Road Commission used heavy equipment to break up the dam and alleviate the pool of water behind it.||Another ice jam formed at the US2 bridge over Rapid River resulting in some backwater flooding and 2 lanes of US2 being closed for a time. An auto repair shop and cottage experienced minor flooding. Damage estimates were around $10K.||The most significant ice jam occurred along the Escanaba River between Boney Falls Dam and Dam #3. Water backed up rapidly behind the jam and surrounded a few houses and summer camps. Damage estimates due to flooded vehicles, trailers, out buildings, and basement flooding were around $75K. |
