    These pictures are from Houghton, MI. I'm hoping yooperdave can help fill in some details and maybe more pictures.

    yooperdave, understand your self reliance but check in and tell us your OK. He's been off since Saturday.. If waters done that to roads, he is probably without power..

    What a lot of destruction. A community will take quite a while to recover from that.

    Prayers for the people living there. It's going to impact them for a long time.

    Good to see yooperdave had his life vest on. :)

    Spent last weekend in NW Wisconsin. We were just south of the big rains luckily, but it's still was a mess in the Hayward area.

    It always amazes me how much damage water can cause. Yet, we'd not be here without it.
