Two breached dams cause massive flooding, MI Gov asks evacuees to wear masks

Thousands of people in central Michigan have been urged to flee their homes, after two dams failed following sustained heavy rains in the area.

ABC News reported that "two breached dams caused by several days of rainfall and rising water on Tuesday forced the evacuation of about 10,000 people in mid-Michigan, where the governor said one downtown could be 'under approximately 9 feet of water' by morning."

According to Michigan Advance, Whitmer "asks everyone going to shelters to wear their masks and maintain social distancing as best they can."

All dams eventually fail. Building downstream from a dam is at least a risk and sometimes a catastrophic mistake.

I can't imagine 9 ft of water that fast.

Feds revoked Michigan dam license in 2018: ‘failure … to safely pass flood flows’

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission revoked the license for the Edenville Dam in central Michigan — which breached Tuesday — in 2018 because of concerns that the dams would not be able to withstand heavy flooding.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer confirmed that the Edenville and Sanford Dams had breached, as heavy rains hit the area.
