Thousands of Michigan residents are seeking shelter Wednesday after a catastrophic dam failure caused a major flooding emergency — and some residents could soon be under nine feet of water.
The Edenville and Sanford Dams, which control water flow around Midland, Michigan, a town towards the center of Michigan’s “mitten” and about 160 miles north and west of Detroit, collapsed Tuesday afternoon after the state saw record rainfall, forcing authorities to break coronavirus-related lockdowns and evacuate around 10,000 residents who live near the Tittabawassee River and other connected bodies of water.
