"The rain events we experienced in this area Sunday night into Monday were extreme," said MDOT North Region Associate Region Engineer Bill Wahl. "These were not conditions the roads were designed for when they were built decades ago."

The public is encouraged to check Michigan.gov/Drive for updated state road closures (I, M and US routes) and detour information. Drive with caution in these areas. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads. Find an alternate route.

We’re watching a hefty storm over Lake Michigan moving east southeast towards Charlevoix, Torch Lake and Northport areas. Large hail may become a concern, and residents should be alert for any warnings that may be issued.

BOATING ON THE CHAIN OF LAKES

Water levels remain above normal. The risk of shoreline erosion continues, and many homeowners are still dealing with the impacts of flooding. Additionally, there is confirmed floating debris in the waterways, with more coming ashore.

However, water levels are beginning to recede. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is monitoring their boat launches and making determinations whether they remain open or closed during the ongoing flooding recovery.

Townships and villages have been asked to do the same for boat launches under their control.
