Local Natural Hazard

Due to all of the severe rainfall we have been receiving, Sanford Dam and Smallwood Dam near Midland, Michigan (see map) failed and could not hold back the water. See the following pictures for examples of the impact some Michiganders are dealing with right now. Familes in the affected areas have been asked to evacuate their homes and relocate temporarily to higher ground.
