The flood warning for Washtenaw County remains in effect until Sunday evening.
The county has received 3-6 inches of rain and more rain is expected over night.
According to the Washtenaw County, some roads have standing water and some homes may experience flooding. People are encouraged to use caution and warned against driving or walking through flooded roads.
"Turn around. Don't drown when encountering flooded roads," warned Dave Halteman, Director of Emergency Services. "Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Stay away or be swept away. Riverbanks and culverts can become unstable and unsafe.”
Water Resources Commissioner Evan Pratt asked people to call 9-1-1 if there is an emergency that threatens people or property.
“Our staff is responding to requests for debris removal and will be performing preventative maintenance in areas of historic flooding of County drains. To report drain back-ups, please submit a Drain Service Request," Pratt said.
In Saline, Curtiss Park flooded, as it often does during a rain event. As of Saturday around 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon, the park was open to vehicles and the water appeared to be receding. Police will be monitoring water levels at the park.
Sunny, with a high of 50 and low of 24 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear during the afternoon and evening,
Nice idea. Thank you to the kids who support this. Seems a bit of diversity in the make-up of the kids leading the group would go a long way to making "everyone" feel welcome. Sadly, not seeing it, at least in what is presented here.
Awful, racist perspective. There is nothing wrong with the "make-up" of these four kids.
Not saying there is anything wrong with those four kids. Really appreciate what they are doing and think it is great. Hardly find it racist to think having folks representative of other "groups" leading the group would go even further to making everyone feel welcome.
As we noticed the rapid deterioration and indentation of the road from all of this truck traffic, which presumably will only get worse as the weather and road surface gets warmer, we have wondered just who is responsible for the cost to repair/replace these roads?
Did anyone ask the nearby residents if they want a party palace in their neighborhood? Traffic, parking, crowds, trash, noise: was any of this considered when making this decision?
The organizers are required to submit an application to the City of Saline for this event. If you wish to provide input, comments can be sent to the City Clerk or made in person at anytime or more specifically when their application appears on the council agenda.
Providing input just like the data center had input given. When a decision is made around here, it has already been made.
