I just turned my air off because it is supposed to get down to 55 tonight. Nice sleeping weather. Then it should be around 80 for the next few days. David and I were sitting on the porch tonight and he said it felt like a September night.

Hot and humid... no end in sight.

Yesterday was interesting. Over 6" of rain in some areas around Detroit. Took our son around 3 hrs to get home. He was on the Lodge freeway, had to get off because it was closed. Got on the Davison to try to get to I-96, had to get off. Made via surface streets to I-96 then had to get off. Took Plymouth Rd to Telegraph to M-5 and finally back to I-96.

I-696 and I-75 is still under water. The water in the underpass was up to the bridge, around 14'. Every freeway in the area was closed at some point due to flooding and many are still closed. Some may be closed for days while they move all the abandoned cars out and clean up the mud and crud on the freeway. I think they said 32 cars were under water just at the I-696 - I-75 interchange.

Hope no one in area had any basement flooding. We didn't get the heavy rains here, Livingston county was one of the few without flood warnings.

We live about 20 min from Detroit Metro Airport. Yesterday Judy and I had to pick up someone that came in from China. His plane was about 35 min late and it took us over 2 1/2 hrs to get back home. Got home to about 5" water in the basement. Spent around 4 to 5 hrs cleanin up that. Didn't get to bed till 3 this morning..........boy was I beat.

We have been having the normal afternoon thunderstorms off and on but nothing like what ya'll are talking about .The worst thing we are dealing with is the high humidity ,very sticky out and about.

Sorry to hear that Ken, a flooded basement is no fun. Had to clean one up at my mom's condo when she lost power and the sump pump wasn't running. Had to clean one up here when the pressure tank sprung a leak, we have well. In both cases the water was clean, no sewer backup but still a mess. Hope all is well now.

Still a lot of roads under water here, abandoned cars all over that place. Can't blame the owner's, can't go forward, can't back up, water rising. Leave it and save yourself.

On the news right now, they have divers looking for people trapped, no doubt dead, in their cars under water on the freeways.
