Emergency responders are bracing for more power outages and, even worse, more potential flooding as forecasts call for more scattered thunderstorms this week following a weekend deluge that overpowered southeast Michigan s infrastructure.
Large amounts of rainfall within 12 hours overwhelmed sewers in Detroit, freeway pump stations and basements around Metro Detroit. Community leaders cite the storm as a result of climate change and fear the increased likelihood of more intense rainfalls that sewers and freeway pump stations aren t prepared to handle. Experts say the weekend s devastation shows the need for the infrastructure funds being discussed at the state and federal levels, especially with rain expected to continue through Thursday.
