Heavy rain this past weekend led to massive flooding in Southeast Michigan. For some Metro Detroiters, this weekend wasn’t just a mess. It was also an unpleasant moment of déjà vu, calling back to a similarly devastating flood in 2014. Today on the pod, we’ll talk about what’s behind the region’s increasingly frequent flood events, and what a fix might look like. You can find photos and stories from Michigan Radio about this weekend’s floods here. Find tips about how to stay safe in flooded areas here.
