Readers share their photos as floods hammer Midwest
By
Vicenta DeVries GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.—The flooding has closed roads,
collected debris, damaged foundations of homes and business, caused
sewer and sanitation problems and contaminated drinking water. By
Tuesday, the flooding had reached its peak of 21.85 inches—hit over the
weekend—and has started to move out to the outer lakes and rivers. But
the water is still above the flood levels of 18 inches, which is also
above the flood walls within the city. The problems are far from over.
Michigan has begun the clean-up process to help those affected. I have
seen volunteers sacking bags of sand to help divert the flow of water
from many homes and businesses. This shows how Michigan people help each
other during calamities and a disaster arises.Read More ...
