| episode_narrative | A very slow moving low pressure system advanced east from the central Plains. Unusually deep moisture was pushed northward into the Great Lakes region, ahead of this low. Multiple rounds of heavy rain fell in parts of northern lower Michigan on the 17th and 18th. This heavy rain targeted east central and northeast lower Michigan in particular. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches were common by the morning of the 18th in places like Tawas City, Houghton Lake, Omer, and West Branch. Further heavy rain continued, and by the morning of the 19th rainfall amounts were 8.10 in Au Gres, 7.43 in East Tawas, 7.20 in Sterling, and 7.60 near National City. Generalized flooding was widespread and considerable in that part of lower Michigan. In some spots, flooding impacts lasted for days. Runoff from this very heavy rain resulted in the catastrophic failure of Edenville Dam on the Tittabawassee River. |
