- Black Lake flood leaves Presque Isle County cabin damaged
- Date posted
- 9 hours ago
- Description
- There have been many pictures and videos from all across northern Michigan this week, with a lot of people forced to leave their homes.
Maryjane Glynn spoke with a couple who live along Black Lake in Presque Isle County.
Jim and Onia Meyer walked Glynn through the water and into their home to show the extent of the damage inside. While trying to get into the home, Jim struggled because the washing machine was on its side, pushed over by the power of water.
Despite the obstacles, Jim was able to recover some glass items and dishes from his fridge, which are now tilted in his kitchen.
There was an attempt to lift the fridge upright, but with water and weight, it was unsuccessful.
"Never dreamed it was going to get this high,” Jim said. “Downstream at Alverno Dam in Cheboygan, it's got problems. And so, everybody from there up this way is getting drowned out."
This house holds a lot of history and memories. ...

- Muskegon River flooding in Evart prompts rescues, closures and power shutoffs
- Date posted

- Description
- Flooding continues to impact communities along the Muskegon River in Evart, where emergency crews are responding to rising water, power concerns and ongoing rescues.
Emergency crews along the Muskegon River say the situation remains dangerous, as rising water continues to force rescues and create new hazards across the area.
Floodwaters have surged to historic levels in Evart, impacting homes and forcing some residents to evacuate with little warning.
“I had my house up on stilts, but not high enough because it was like three inches of water in the house,” said John Frisbey, flood victim. “And I only had five days of water left, so I had to go out, but the current was too heavy-duty this year.”
As water continues to rise, power is being cut in some areas as a safety precaution, while roads remain closed across the region.
“We are starting to see them recede a little bit now. We do have some more rain coming in t...
