Dam failures in Michigan lead to the evacuation of thousands

Just the News= About 10,000 people have been evacuated from central Michigan, where floods are plaguing communities that reside along the Tittabawassee River and connected lakes.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said that some downtown areas are at risk of being under about 9 feet of water by Wednesday.

The National Weather Service is advising anyone living near the river to move to higher ground, citing “catastrophic dam failures” at the Edenville and Sanford dams. MORE

  1. “The Edenville Dam, which was built in 1924, was judged to be in unsatisfactory condition when it was inspected in 2018.”

    So, Ms “Fix the damn roads”, why didn’t you fix the damn dams? Huh? Are you INCOMPETENT? Isn’t that what you called the previous governor for not “fixing the damn roads”?

    You should be blamed for anything that happens there.

    HYPOCRITE!

  2. I heard the bitch on the radio, telling people who are refugees from the flooding that they must wear their masks wherever they end up taking shelter. As if the Karenwaffe won’t be there to enforce the rules.

    The restraint you Michiganders exhibit is phenomenal.

  3. …may the Lord bless and protect those who are faced with this new danger, guide them to safety, keep them together, preserve them through these storms and give comfort to their loved ones that they are protected in His embrace. May the Lord also cover those who are sent to deal with the emergency, guide them to those in need, lead them by the safest roads, and let them return home intact to those that love thrm, when all is done. May they see His benificence and mercy, and use the opportunity to recognize His hand in their salvation and know Him for their Lord.

    In the name of Jesus, amen.

    “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

    2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

    3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

    4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

    5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

    6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

    7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

    8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”
    Psalm 121

    Goods can be replaced.

    People can’t.

    Cover them in prayers that they rest in the Lord.

    God Bless,

  5. She can’t find time to fix anything in Michigan. TV shows and getting her face on the air is all that is important to her.
    Joe must love having her hump his leg every chance she gets.

    I think it’s more like fear, conditioning, compliance, apathy, ignorance, dependence, and so forth. When you’re willing – for any reason – you’re not compliant, you’re a sheep. Now, at some point a limit will be reached, by that time it will be too late.

  7. Gov Whitmer E.O. #5212020-200 No one will be permitted on higher ground who is not wearing a face mask. Leaving homes surrounded by water by power boat is prohibited. Violators will be subject to high fines and long jail times. Only canoes or swimming is permitted to depart flooded homes.
