Damn, I hate to see that.... I used to travel up through there about every two years or so....I am familiar with the area .

I just saw some footage on ABC of water breaking through the dam. Wow.
The Edenville Dam, which was built in 1924, was rated in unsatisfactory condition in 2018 by the state.

Here is another example of needed infrastructure improvements. There is very good information here that details the issues that were known about both dams. I can't imagine the stress overload with virus concerns, the state about to reopen, and then around 10,000 folks being forced from their homes.

I have a cousin that lives in Midland, MI and she is safe because she lives on top of a big hill.

I have a cousin that lives in Midland, MI and she is safe because she lives on top of a big hill.

Perhaps her mate was interviewed tonight - a man stating his house was okay for the very same reason. How fortunate when the rest of the area is so devastated.

She is single and she said she lives on the other side of Midland.
