Extreme Weather 100 Year Rains Hit Detroit Metro Area!! 6 - 7 inches of rain fell on Monday August 11 2014 in a matter of 4 hours causing havoc for many Metro Detroiters!! Royal Oak weathers 100-year storm, motorists stranded, homes flooded Torrential rains washed out an embankment and sent tons of water crashing down just as dump truck driver Craig Payne was nosing his vehicle from southbound I-75 onto the ramp to I-696 in Royal Oak. “The embankment let loose,” said Payne on Tuesday as he stood on Stephenson Highway and looked down at his stranded truck. “A 20-foot wave of water swamped the truck and the ground came down around me.” www.macombdaily.com/general-news/20140812/royal-oak-weathers-100-year-storm-motorists-stranded-homes-flooded Historic rain event slams metro Detroit Earlier Monday afternoon, a batch of moderate rain was moving northward through the area. Rain was ending just south of the state line, and that was moving north, too. While we knew that some areas in southern Monroe and Lenawee counties have received 1 to 3 inches of rain, it was felt that we could handle that. But what came next was NOT expected: Back in the area where the rain had ended, a second batch of even heavier rain developed out of nowhere and parked itself right over the heart of the metro area -- you can see that on this radar image that I tweeted out at 6:15 p.m. By that time, it became apparent that an extremely heavy amount of total rain was going to fall on the core of our freeway system, and the National Weather Service issued a Flood Warning. www.clickondetroit.com/weather/historic-rain-event-slams-metro-detroit/27419586 State Of Emergency In Warren; Mayor Calls On National Guard For Help; Over 1,000 Cars Abandoned WARREN (WWJ) - Warren Mayor Jim Fouts has declared an official state of emergency and is calling on the government for help cleaning up after torrential storms left the city in shambles. “It appears that Warren was the epicenter of the disaster,” Fouts said live on WWJ Newsradio 950 Tuesday morning. “In some places the water was five-feet over the road. There’s at least 1,000-plus cars abandoned on the thoroughfares of Warren. Our emergency personnel have been just besieged, overwhelmed with calls.” Fouts said Warren City Hall and the police department were flooded with 6 feet of water. He said thousands of Warren residents have flooded basements and the General Motors Tech Center was forced to close. detroit.cbslocal.com/2014/08/12/warren-mayor-calls-on-national-guard-for-help-over-1000-cars-abandoned-basements-flooded/ --------------------------------- Follow Me, Click On These Links: Please feel free to check out OUR NEW SITE!! vera-causa.net www.facebook.com/pages/vera-causanet/1420429808210849 twitter.com/VeraCausaNet www.youtube.com/user/kazvswild plus.google.com/u/0/112884617482589244738/posts www.youtube.com/user/freedom4kaz plus.google.com/u/0/113543377275127919986/posts www.youtube.com/user/freedom4kaz2 plus.google.com/u/0/115399050446520377586/post www.youtube.com/user/ChemtrailSunsets plus.google.com/u/0/106087252397523011722/posts Freespeak.net www.freespeak.net/profile-67/ On Skype at freedom4kaz extreme weather, haarp, geoengineering ,Monsanto, genocide, bioweapons, climate change, 2012, red, war, change, youtube, America, minecraft, california, texas, university, college, beach, survival, zombie ,obama, jesus,9/11, baby, documentary, japan, irs, football, baseball, fight, love, sun, love, girl, girls, the sun, earth, world, GMO, water, moon, rain, snow, air, bob, death, gun, guns, planet, hunting, time, firearms, garden, self reliant, off grid, China, America, obama, 9/11, zombie, survival, bioweapons, geoengineering, climate change, minecraft, constitution, nasa, haarp, japan, elenin, nibiru, fema, economy, documentary, beach, sunset times, Dave Canterbury, David Canterbury, The Pathfinder School, Bush Craft , Survival skills, Historical Lore, Primitive Skills, Archery, Hunting, Trapping, Fishing, Navigation, Knives, Axes, Fire, Water, Shelter, Search and Rescue
