ST. CLAIR SHORES Two inches of rain falling at once still caused flooding in St. Clair Shores, but not to the extent seen in recent years.
The intersection of 12 Mile Road and Jefferson Avenue was closed for a few hours March 26 due to flooding. Department of Public Works Director Bryan Babcock explained that there is a large pipe that runs underneath 12 Mile Road into Lake St. Clair.
