On Wednesday, parts of the city of Midland and other areas were virtual lakes, and it may get worse.
Last night, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said that downtown in Midland, a city of about 41,000 people downstream of the dams, could eventually be "under approximately 9 feet of water."
Midland County Road Commission said that every bridge crossing the Tittabawassee River is closed. The river is forecast to crest to 38 feet at 8 p.m. ET today.
The commission urged residents to not "attempt to use roadways that are underwater."
