Port Huron's City Manager, Police and Fire chiefs updated the public on the damage from Wednesday's severe storms. Fire Chief Corey Nicholson says his department responded to a handful of structure fires that afternoon and evening.

Nicholson says all the homes that suffered fire damage are expected to be habitable. There were no injuries reported.

Ice breaking to begin on Black River Sunday
Ice breaking will begin on the Black River Sunday, leading to intermittent bridge openings in Port Huron.
Operations will begin at 7 a.m. from the mouth of the Black River to the I-94 overpass and are expected to be completed that day, according to the Port Huron Fire Department.
The bridges at Military, Seventh and 10th streets will be opening intermittently during the work.
The ice breaking will be completed by a fish tug from Purdy s Fisheries, Port Huron Fire Chief Corey Nicholson said.
The fire department said residents should avoid any recreational activities on the Black River due to variable and dangerous ice conditions from runoff and rising daytime temperatures.
City of Port Huron prepares for spring flooding
Port Huron Times Herald
More than a month after the southern end of St. Clair County experienced widespread severe flooding, the city of Port Huron is preparing for potential spring flooding on the Black River.
Due to the elevated water levels in Lake Huron and the St. Clair River, there is a higher likelihood of spring rain and ice-out events that can cause flooding in low-lying areas, Port Huron Fire Chief Corey Nicholson said in a press release.
To prepare to assist residents, literature has been distributed to residents and property owners in flood-prone areas. Sandbags will also be provided at various distribution points in the Black River Canal District, as well as the 12th Street Boat Launch and West Quay Street parking lot.
